I wasn't aware of that , it does seem time that consumers and businesses start to specify that the supply chain must be 'clean' otherwise they lose business like Foxconn are being punished for child labour etc. At a country level our politicians should work on this and say they are less likely to deal with countries who allow slavery. Yes I know its present in the Uk but its illegal and comparatively rare.

When I find someone who has achieved equally or more I am honoured to share the spotlight with them not jealous.
You saddos may try to mock but they don'y give out awards for finding your arse when looking for your elbow. Not that there is any chance of you managing that.
