Just a commodity - if it makes them money then why not?

I'd do the same.

But if they lose customers as a result, it's not good business sense.

I tend to do a lot of my Christmas shopping at JL, but will take my business elsewhere now.

I'd like to think the less blinkered humans in society are the ones that shop there, so I can't see them losing customers over a bit of titillating journalism.

I may even get one for my hideously looking wife...

It's not sad at all, as a consumer I have a choice where I spend my money, and I will avoid organisations that act in a manner I do not agree with.

Your clearly not worried enough about the big bad Muslim menace infiltrating that last bastion of the British clothing industry. #operationTrojanhijab

Divide n conquer. By the comments it's working a treat just like the subway halal meat.
In my town there are more dedicated polish shops than good ole british shops.
Surely not quite right IMO.

is there anything you can't make into a conspiracy theory? Is it not possible that like the Subway halal thing, it's a simple commercial decision. Opening up a potential market sector with minimal outlay.

As for Polish shops, you don't know what your missing.

Surely there's only so much Pledge that one needs.
But whole shops full of the stuff?

It's all a part of multiculturalism, we the Brits generally don't want this(as proven in lots of forums the radio etc) it causes a divide.

As for the polish shops,I am missing out on hmv, game, river island the **** shop etc etc etc.
I don't want them in my british high streets.
First the polish shops then the Romanian shops next the Muslim shops.
