Current TV: Burberry hits China

From Patrick Carr of Current TV:

The Burberry factory in Treorchy, Wales, closed down to much protest last year - but what happened after? In this pod we visit the Chinese factory and find that the same has happened again, with Chinese factory workers near the city losing their jobs as cheaper rural factories means the factory has moved again...

What does a burberry polo shirt cost, 150USD or thereabouts? And they're penny pinching over urban v rural Chinese workers?

Anyone who wears that brand is an arsehole.

The adverts are horrible too.
