      There’s a very simple reason why we trade with them. UK made jeans from Hebtroco using local and ethically paid labour start from £120. Primark jeans made by slaves in some remote shit hole start from £12. Guess which company has tens of millions of customers and which one has only thousands instead.

        Pffft she lived in Australia for 11 years. She’s 47 years old and has been working for Chinese state run media for nearly 20 years.

        Fuck her. I couldn’t think of anyone less Australian.

    There is no law or justice in China. No legal processes. No human rights or constitution. There is only the will of the party.
