I wonder why this is still allowed in our country, especially after 13 years of Labour Government, strange really you would have thought they would have taken great steps to put this right, now you have the never to highlight it

Re: revolution in the air
Well having read the article and seen some pictures it appear that the demonstrators will have plenty in common with those they are protesting about, in as much as neither of um will be paying much tax

I bought some stuff from that Topman today. Wasn't very many protesters. Tons of people buying stuff from the store though.

It took up a lot of police resources however since they decided to do it in the doorway of the shop. These are the same people that will protest against spending reductions I imagine.

Oh and if that's meant to be the revolution, I don't need to worry about booking my plane tickets just yet!

There may only have been a few of them Andrew, but they seem to have got a fair bit of national media coverage. Which I would imagine was the purpose of the demonstration.

Hat's off to them for getting off their backsides and making a stand - that's what we need. It's unusual for people to organise and protest over an issue like this!

The guy has been wheeling & dealing since the mid 70's & your "revolution" is only kicking in now ? At the end of 2010 ! Even being generous that's 30 odd years late don't you think ?

Am sure we are both in agreement that the many thousands of jobs and taxpayers Philip Green has created are a very welcome thing.
