  "Bangladesh has urged the EU not to take tough measures against its economically crucial textile industry after the collapse of a factory which killed 550 people."
  
  "Four million people work in the country's textile industry - making it the second largest clothing exporter after China. Some earn as little as $38 (£24) a month."
  
  "The collapse was the third deadly incident in six months that raised questions about worker safety and labour conditions in Bangladesh."
  From Sky News.
  
  Gideon and Cameron have not said anything in public about this.
  Ed Millyband has not said anything.
  Nick Clog has not said anything.
  
  And yet all we get is unemployment, trade deficit, and High Street chain stores importing merchandise at scrap prices from sweat factories.
  
  Yes this thread is still hanging around like an unwanted smell.
  
  I suppose we are still too far away from the General Election for a Tory political leader to stand up and proclaim that the High Street must change its policies and start buying British.
  Forget Ed Millyband the Labour-socialist, who is gazing at the stars waiting for an inspiration to wake up and make a speech.
  
  That's the problem with voting: people vote once every four or five years and then think that we must leave everything to the politicians.
  If people want to get involved, they have to do so on an everyday basis and keep coming back haunting Society with home-truths.
