Primark named as 'least ethical UK clothes chain'. No sh*t, Sherlock!

primark1.jpgPrimark, birthplace of the £4 jeans, has been officially named as the UK's 'least ethical clothes shop' in a study by Ethical Consumer magazine. Hardly a surprise to anyone whose ever spared a moment's thought on how they get their prices so low, but it's worth bearing these facts in mind when you find yourself tempted by bargains on the high street.

On a scale that measures workers' rights, whether the chain deals with oppressive regimes and other ethical issues, Primark scored a meagre 2.5 out of a possible 20. But proving that low cost doesn't have to mean low morals, Matalan -- another discount clothing store -- came out with one of the highest ratings.

Surprisingly, Marks and Spencers, whose environmental policies are pretty sound came out joint third from bottom.

Among the criticisms levelled at Primark by Ethical Consumer were 'not having a code of conduct, selling leather goods and "environmentally-damaging" PVC products and for operating in an oppressive regime -- China'

Shows there's never any such thing as a free -- or dirt cheap -- lunch. Somebody has to pay. If only the morons who throng these shops could realise just how their tat is produced, they'd... do nothing. They are morons, after all.

I think this survey is 2 years old so it's a bit odd it's being presented as 'news'. It actually concluded that no one with a conscience would shop in any high street store because they are all various shades of the same sh*te. So don't kid yourself that a trip to Matalan rather than Primark is going to help.
