  When I worked for Natwest in their Computer Centre in London, it was just a short walk from many Asian-run sweat-shops (Commercial Street, Whitechapel High Street etc. where other asian families were working.
  
  These clothes shops were/are supplying clothes to many small independants and large chain store business around the country.
  
  Some may have been replaced by East European owners and workers, but the principle is the same and of course many of these workers are tied to these factories as the owner "brought" them over here.
  
  The wider picture is tied to Fairtrade and how much the workers (including children) at the factories in India and other Asian countries are paid.
  
  I know this has been aired on here before, but some of these people can never escape poverty - not on the equivalent of 25 pence a day.
