UK: NEW LABOUR LEADER SUPPOSED SWEATSHOP T-SHIRTS……..

There are many things to dislike about the new Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, his anti-enlightenment socialism, antisemitism and open borders mentality are just to name a few. That said, one thing that you can’t blame him for, is so called “poverty sweat shops”, which in reality -while clearly paying its workers far below Western levels/standards- are paying them a wage that they themselves (the workers) see as worthwhile.

NOTE: Ironically, it is anti-enlightenment throwbacks, like Corbyn, who would in fact erase job opportunities like this if they could, in spite of having lifted tens of billions of people out of desperate poverty over the past century and a half, to actually earn enough money, to get by.

Moments after taking over the Labour leadership, Corbyn spoke of his determination to combat poverty and inequality in an impassioned victory speech.
