> Just to let you all know that the P and P action on topshop and its
> sweatshopping habits was a HUGE success!
> 
> For those of you who missed taking part in the Manchester action we successfully
> got a fair bit of attention in Manchester Arndale Centre outside topshop with
> our clothes line of clothing that read 'tell topshop to sign up to the ethical
> trading agreement' and another them using child labour. However this only
> lasted about 5 mins until we were escorted out of the shopping centre by
> security. A little disspointing, but it was all caught on camera, and assisted
> in getting even more attention for us. Our spirits were not sufficently
> dampened (despite the pouring rain) and we continued our evening outside the
> doors of the arndale speaking to lots of people and giving them information
> about Topshop. A warm reception from most people we spoke to. One of the best
> demos yet. :)
