Its not like its a small seedy back street factory where people are being forced to work. It looks like a very professional environment. So quite honestly, the amount people earn making the tee shirts is completely irrelevant. World markets dictate prices and earnings in these circumstances. People are trying to make a sensational story where it is just the norm across the globe. Is it better to having a thriving factory employing lots of people at 69 pence an hour, or for them to be priced out of business in the world market with wages of £5 an hour. I find it very amusing that people jump on their high horses at a sensational headline, when there is much more to the underlying issue.

Let's be honest here, the only reason you're "angry" is because it's Ed Miliband. You normally don't give a flying crap about feminism.

Many what? Feminists? There are too many! If you're talking about flying crap, though, I'd have to agree.
