Question

I see that the coffee farmers are starving and their children dying because the world will not pay the previous prices for coffee beans.

Now, I am all for market forces BUT where are the cheap jars of coffee??? I am NOT happy paying what I did 4 years ago while the Coffee distributors rake in extra millions on the back of us AND dying children!!!

Just my take on it

They should go on strike until they get a 40% pay rise!

YES they SHOULD!!

The firemen get coffee free, paid for by us MUGS!!!

Imagine having to actually do a job AND starve as well?? The firemen could go and grow coffee instead of 'struggling to make ends meet here'

Surely you're not surprised by this!
Lord Sainsbury didn't make it to number 5 on the rich list by passing on these savings to the consumer!

Question

Why aren't you drinking Traidcraft coffee anyway if you feel that strongly about it Pete?

errrm - Kwiksave, Liddel other pikey supermarkets.

(Also at my work it is free - that is very cheap - although we supply medical products FOC to the third world so that don't count.)





(don't go on about Pikies either as I have just seen Swiss Tony call Liddel just that on the new BBC3 which is psid by the license fee and governed by ITC regulations.)
