Today I did something I felt deeply ashamed about.
I bought a pair of leggings from Top Shop. Philip Green’s Topshop. The Philip Green who’s registered the company in his wife’s name so he can avoid paying tax – his wife lives in Monaco. UKUncut, the tax justice pressure group, explains it very clearly.
This put me off going into Topshop – as did the fact that their security guards gave me and my friend a hard time when we tried to look at the Christmas lights back in 2010. But I’m afraid I cracked today – actually I gave in a few weeks ago, when I bought a top in Miss Selfridge, also owned by Green.
