p.s. Year One is already on the Internet and you can watch it for free.

“But that’s why we’re making such investment in the Fairtrade clothing market, because there we really can clearly communicate to…”

What is she saying, precisely?

We have already made the investment or we are making the investment at this moment or we will make the investment or we have said we intend to make the investment?

It is implying that the investment is already in place but from the actual figures it is clear that this is not the case. What a slimey corporate nothing statement. I expect more from Sainsburys.

Not that I’m totally impressed, but this is a lot more than I expected when I found a link on Digg telling that the info here is quite decent. Thanks.

Hi,

I saw this comment on ethical school uniforms and just wanted to let you know that there is an ethical company that sells fairly reasonably priced uniforms- they’re called Clean Slate and have a good website- cleanslateclothing.com

Best

This is a living nightmare I can not believe that its impossible to buy my children a school uniform and be certain its not made by a slave or a child the same age as them. It seems that they will be in rags this term.

Someone help, ethical school uniforms must be out there somewhere? I thought M&S was a safe bet, but it turns out I was mistaken! John Lewis must be ok, right?

ps people who buy The Northface=Sweatshop. Now theres really no need perhaps they should use images children being removed from their families and shipped hundreds of miles away to work for nothing. These sorts of profits are disgusting.

Thanks for posting this. My wife came home with two polo shirts for out 4 yr old for £1.25 reduced from original price of £2.50. 62p for a shirt?

When I FEEL I would rather pay £1.99 in a charity shop for a similar, used item, there’s something definitely not right…….

I’ll be sharing your site with friends.
