As long as we're attacking Nazism, that means we must be Good People and needn't think too much about the Primark dress in the back of the wardrobe that was made by slave labour.<br /><br />I have Egyptian towels, God forgive me. I'm going to write that letter right now.alberridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986443240923520466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-56706294131863070572013-09-23T16:20:34.674+01:002013-09-23T16:20:34.674+01:00Very good post, Leslie...thank you!

Better to light a candle than curse a darkness, you know. Consider: in the UK, Tate and Lyle, a major sugar producer, and Cadbury's chocolate have all of their retail products Fairtrade now, which would have seemed inconceivable a few years ago. Writing that letter to John Lewis is a good thing to do - also to use suppliers who do supply Fairtrade or organic cotton - I have got several lovely, fashionable items that way, this summer. They cost a bit more, though, that's the trouble, but if those of us who can afford a bit more lead the way, perhaps, as with Tate and Lyle and Cadburys, the mass-market will follow.
