Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Even London Is Targeting Irish Shoppers This Christmas .Some Have Called London ''The New York Of Irish Shopping.''
Well Said and delivered , Sad to see but we will be poorer all round if we stop supporting EACH OTHER.
Cowen & Co are now wondering how to entice Southern Money away from The Wee North as the British government has introduced a 15% vat rate.
Should make for an interesting build up to job losses post christmas 08.
Buy Irish .Be Irish.
And what do you suggest might be acheived by knockin off millions of underage workers ?
The world is so fast and furious that the baby in the buggy we see today might just end up in a managerial position at age 10.
Why should it not happen when it is in fact ,just toddle off to London and sneak around the ''sweatshops'' where a very large % of ''ladies garments''
are turned out at an even faster rate than ever before by underage children who never complain .
Me , i worked in a butcher shop at age 11 after school for 25 bob a week inc saturday delivering legs of lamb on white butchers trays to the well off and
my parents were glad of the money and i was glad to be out from under their feet.
Well done for highlighting this issue. However.... if you rea;;y want change to be made, you have to name and shame.z\ The average Joe is simply noy going to quiz Dunnes ot Penneys etc as to where the items come from.
A geat campaign idea, which I am totally behind, but honestly i think this post will do no good. Name and shame the child abusers. Primark (Pennys) are one. Shout at people to not shop there. Otherwise your campaign will be innefectual. Much as i agree with it.
