    So the ex-inmates are now considering suing for compensation!! If forced labour involved assembling flatpack furniture from IKEA shouldnt all of us who ever bought anything from there also get compensation?? Not sure what they expect IKEA to do. If they hadn't been doing that they would have probably been breaking rocks for 12 hours a day

    In 30 years time Apple will apologise for the deaths brought about shitty working conditions,long hours and pay brought about by their use of Chinese workers in making their products. Well, we can hope.

    Obviously not on the same level, but they are still using British workers on the cheap from the Tory 'Workfare' scheme.
