Primark: The Big Debate

More than 1,000 people emailed the BBC's Have Your Say debate over the last few days.

There has also been fierce discussion across a range of social networking sites and on YouTube.

Here is a sample of what is being said.

Panorama: Your Opinions

Have Your Say Debate

How can we be sure our clothes are ethically made? We can't.

In the light of last night's Panorama, we can assume that most (or all) of the clothes we purchase at low prices have been manufactured using child labour or in inhumane conditions.

Oh dear, oh dear dear dear. As said in the report, boycotting won't help but instead encouraging the company to help the factories change is the way to go.

To be fair, whether we feel bad about it or not, exploitation like this is always gonna go on. Us feeling bad or boycotting won't do anything to change this, its unfortunately the way the world works.
