Dear oh dear.

You don't get rich by paying wages!

Maybe 35p is a decent wage in the country there made in.?

HumansOfLate

This is called businesses. The staff agreed on that amount so get on with it. The girls made profitable decisions

Could it possibly be that in some countries equivalent of 35p will buy eg 5 loaves of bread .? What is the average hourly pay there? Shouldn’t one check what the average price of goods is and not rely on British prices ?

I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want is for people to be paid a living wage and to be treated with some dignity. Zigazig ah.

Sports direct

Don't buy there crap ect. Only trying to scam the public again in a marking trap.

Horrfying conditions for the workers

The 2 on the left didn't age well

I’m tired of celebrity bullshit ... and the “I’m sorry” crap spicegirls spicegirls

so 5 mins on the net and I find that 35p an hour is a good wage in Bangladesh where the average wage is $60 a month.

And ?

Why are you surprised at this?

Ironic really considering that's what they would have been payed if the Pop Music industry payed depending on talent.

.EmmaBunton GeriHalliwell MelanieCmusic OfficialMelB victoriabeckham If you didn't know before, you do now.

Embrace capitalism.

Yeah but Girl Power!

OK, but that is little in thr UK but not in the local economy that they had been produced. How much does 35p an hour go in the local area?

I can't believe they have pissed the money away already.

Ban them and then we don’t have to listen to them sing 😀👍🏻

How low and immoral. Yet obviously those old bats and their managers will charge a fortune to people...some people really find it hard to burn stages, they keep trying...

So very sad but true, they're a brand so what's new ? Maybe they should invest in PR & research companies before putting their brand on unethical products ? Xxc

They look ok for girls in their 50s. I couldn't say I know any of their songs were they like girls aloud?

How ironic the actual shirts where made for supporting equality and 35p/h is nothing near that .

Because equality

Well ... if that's the cost per hour in that factory to make decent quality T-shirts, it would be bloody stupid not to use the facility! How much money has it cost the Guardian newspaper to dig out this rubbish, and then print it? ... You could have donated all that cash?!?

And the WhiteMan gets out of all of that... spicegirls and WhitePrivilege reigns supreme...

Bastards! 20p would've beem better.

Empowering women workers or enslaving women workers?

Beyonce is also guilty of this. These people don't care about equality, only optics.

How does that stack up against another local t-shirt manufacturer and its pay scale? If 35p is 4 times what others pay, would it make a difference to your outrage?

The reality of 'girl power'. Pop music promoting identity politics which actually enslaves rather than empowers women.

Freezing weather put paid to football this morning but great to meet top man robbie_AFTV and have a quick chat about the Arse. Cheers Robbie👊🏾

Music merch industry is dreadful and supply monopolised by a failed DJ and he is clueless about ethical sourcing

Just to prove that comic relief has been a farce all along.

Disappointed but not surprised. The whole Spice Girls reunion is trash without Victoria Beckham anyway.

Slave labour.

Girl power!! Hypocrisy
