Smash and crab eh?
I'm sure Kamani would like to flex some mussels and scoop up Topshop.
It would be shellfish not to.

Not sure where I read it, but I think Philip Green had said that Boohoo was his preferred takeover option although I think he'd prefer anyone as long as it's not Mike Ashley.
Will his preference have any influence over the matter?..No I suspect.

Kamani..’I don’t want to join a union but Boohoo employees can join whatever union they please.’

Apparently Caroline Lucas finds this ‘extraordinary’.

Not quite sure why?

The other MP seems to be labouring under the misapprehension that Leicester textile suppliers are employed by Boohoo. They are independent businesses for goodness sake. Boohoo has no responsibility for what those workers are paid and certainly no liability to compensate anyone who was underpaid.
Boohoo’s oversight of those companies was lacking and has now been addressed.
Onwards.

...with this board today. Go read a book or whatever ,something constructive.

Harchris...when you are on the ABF board, is there anyone over there constantly posting negatively but who is not invested in the company? It seems very odd that a person would spend so much time posting but have no material interest.
Remember, this is the person who said they'd ordered 20 items from Boo and was returning them 1 at a time.
Fruitloop.

A big fat '0' debt.

We didn't kill anyone.

How much debt does Boohoo have?

"The decision by managers to send workers back into the factories was partially due to the pressure to complete orders on time, putting partial responsibility for the disaster on the short production deadlines preferred by buyers due to the fast fashion industry."....Primark.
"A headline that really struck me on the day of the tragedy in Bangladesh was 'Living on 38 euros a month'. That is what the people who died were being paid. This is called slave labour."...Primark.

How did Primark get thru this? They paid a load of compo of course,but how did they get thru the awful headlines?
Boohoo are reforming their way out of a far less damaging situation than Primark found itself in.
Good luck with your Primark investment Kallu....just stop posting cra p on a board you're not invested in.

Boohoo have never killed anyone.

Sounds to me like Boo is having to do the Governments' work for it.

Leicester Deputy Mayor July 2020.... “In 2017, the House of Commons produced a Select Committee report into the garment industry – a report which we supported and to which we contributed. We were especially keen that the report’s recommendations were implemented, but the Government rejected every one."

A chance to showcase the steps and commitment Boo are taking to improve governance of its' supply chain.

Could be hugely positive.

82% US growth....'a declining market'

LMAO

As soon as the elderly and vulnerable are vaccinated the economy will reopen very rapidly.
98%+ of people shake off Covid with few or even no symptoms.
Unemployment levels will quickly return to previous levels.
Kallumama will disappear from this board as Boohoo proves he is talking gibberish.

'You will find in life that there Good is always relative'......what?....relative to 1,134 garment workers who lost their LIVES?
Primark killed those people.
That really is an awful statement to make Kallumama.

Primark is a firm fast fashion brand, and often bears the brunt of fast fashion criticism due to its ultra low cost items. However, these do come at a human cost:

In 2008, UK charity War on Want exposed continued poor working conditions in Primark factories in a BBC documentary, two years after these had first been identified.
In 2009, Primark was accused of using illegal immigrant labour in the UK and paying these workers less than minimum wage.
In 2013, Primark was one of the retailers associated with the Rana Plaza factory collapse. They later signed an agreement to provide compensation to the families of the 1,134 garment workers who lost their lives, and the 2,500 people who were injured. In total they provided $9 million.
In the same year, two SOS messages were found in Primark clothes. Primark called these a hoax.
In 2014, another SOS message was found, written in Chinese with a prison ID card.
In 2015, a fourth SOS message was found in Primark clothes from an alleged Chinese torture victim.
In 2018, a human bone was found in a Primark sock.
In 2020, Primark stopped paying their garment factories due to covid-19 and are yet to rectify this, despite opening their shops again.

They only turn up when it's red.
Didn't waste my weekend.

'They will be saving pennies yet again by going to physical shops, almost all the online shops will shut down'

I've had to endure reading some sh ite on this board but Kallumama you take the gold medal.
Filtered.

You don’t wind me up Clem(Oz).
