  There was an exclusive report on BBC News last night about the very miserable exploitation people are suffering at the hands of wage exploiters. People desperate for some kind of work, people again of foreign origination and desperate, are being paid £3 an hour by people making clothing for national chain store Primark.
  
  These workers are not on foreign soil, not out in the Far East but here in Manchester working in abysmal sweatshops conditions where Health and Safety is some kind of joke. Surrounded by rubbish, paper, boxes of old clothing etc etc... means one spark and they're all dead. Dreadful.
  
  Primark made something like £233 million pound profit last year. I will look up the exact figure later, but they are making it off the back of despair. The owner of the company supplying Primark, is also very rich. Could they distribute a bit more wealth amongst the workers?? of course they could. They can afford it but its profit at any cost and the poor slaves get trampled into the dust for their 7 day week trouble. A 12 hour day brings you £36!
  
  Next time you pick up some very cheap clothing in a store near you remember that somebody somewhere is paying for it to be that cheap.
  
  If businesses cannot afford to pay the minimum wage then let them go out of business. If they can afford it and are not doing it, then throw the full force of the law at them.
