Me neither, I guess this might have something to do with it. A business model straight out of the 1980s

He didn’t say that - you made it up. Boris and the rest of the Tories have lied for the last 4 years, about many things including Brexit. They have failed to deliver. Voting for them is to say you are happy with their lies and failures and want them to continue running the country that way.

Or we could all vote Labour, so we can see first hand what it's like to live in the sort of third-world failed state we only normally see on telly. That sounds like fun...

Possibly one of the worst retailers in the UK over the last 15-20 years. It's had so many mishaps and unsuccessful turnarounds. If it was a dog it would have been put down years ago to save it from further suffering.

There will be many more retailers go out of business in the next 3-5 years.

The overseas arm of Mothercare is profitable and will not be affected so why is it always the UK sections of retail businesses that seem to go titsup?

It's nothing to do with Brexit - you need to get with the program. It's Corbyn's fault. Nothing can be blamed on Boris and Brexit, it must all be blamed on Corbyn.
