Meanwhile, trying to put a price on Britain's involvement in #Slavery continues....

Patrick Robinson of the #UnitedNations has calculated that the UK owes around £18 trillion to the 14 countries most impacted by the #slavetrade.... but accepts that this is likely an underestimate.

If countries *could* find a mechanism to force such a claim (and countries could go #bankrupt), the UK's days might be numbered - a bit like #wilko?

Just been into #Wilko for probably the last time. I'm so sad for the staff as they've been properly done over. :blobsad:

Wilko collapse: A canary in the coal mine

https://socialist.net/wilko-collapse-a-canary-in-the-coal-mine/

Homeware chain Wilko is the latest high-street name facing ruin, as rising costs and interest rates squeeze retailers. A swathe of ‘zombie’ companies are set to be sent to their graves. We must make the bosses and bankers pay for this crisis.

#Wilko is dead. Long live Wilko.

Despite its problems, owners of the chain, led by the Wilkinson family, took £3m in dividends in the 12 months to the end of February 2022.
Une chaîne de magasins déco, jardin, maison va passer sous administrateur judiciaire: 400 unités et 12 000 salariés sont sur la sellette. Jusqu'à l'ultime minute, la famille propriétaire s'est servi des dividendes

Looks like it may be goodbye to #Wilko who are almost certainly going to be going into receivership unless a last-minute buyer is found.... as they employ 12,000 people across their 400 stores, a lot of worried people are likely having sleepless nights wondering how this will play out, and why a mass (cheap) hardware shop has been unable to prosper.... another victim of #Amazon perhaps?

#wilko #casualtiesoftheinternet More jobs probably going, and more big gaps on the high street.
Instead of people being suckered into “Amazon Prime Day” like it’s some kind of national holiday, how about a “Not Use Amazon At All” month…

Really loving the playlist on #Radio6 with #TomRobinson the #Wilko tribute has been awesome! So much great R&B and jaggy rock guitar.

A little tribute to #wilkojohnson - here with the Ian Dury & the Blockheads.
The musical talent on that stage is incredible.
Saw them all so many times, and they were always fantastic.
