I've said this before on here, but this is the human price that people pay for cheap, fast fashion products. T-shirts, purses, accessories that pocket money - £3 or £4.
That's the business model of companies like Primark, Boo Hoo, Pretty Little Thing, etc.
Whether that is a worker being paid less than a £1 an hour in a sweat shop in Bangladesh or £4 in Leicester, this is the effect of this business model.
It's not acceptable, it's modern slavery.
Consumers need to pay proper prices for goods and businesses need to pay the minimum wage - no exceptions.
