True, but your post seemed to suggest that £5 tops being sold for £70 is in some way surprising... Which it isn't. It's not good, but it's not surprising. It's really the tip of the iceberg, also... Designer dresses costing several thousand cost piss all to make.
I'd be tempted to give Brand the benefit of the doubt here and say that he was probably just ignorant to the situation. Even if you don't believe that he's against it for ethical reasons, you have to believe that he'd know that being involved in this knowingly would damage his image and reputation. I just can't see it. Most likely it's been sorted out by one of his lackeys through a UK proxy who have made false claims about the production process and are actually just bulk importing.
Not that it's a great excuse, it seems like he really should have been checking up on this sort of thing, for the very reasons above.
