Primarked Pits

Not only is Britain's only remaining clothing factory in Weatherfield, while the garments worn in the real world are produced in the sweatshops of places like Bangladesh.

But for decades now, this island standing on centuries' worth of coal has instead been importing that fuel, in such quantities as to have provided over half of the power during the recent, if concluded, harsh winter.

Imported it from, among other things, child and slave labour in South America. Anything, anything at all, to break the miners at home.

These matters are now being discussed in earnest. Let that discussion range far and wide.
