Almost half of the clothes in Britain's wardrobes go unworn, a new survey from Oxfam and Marks & Spencer has shown. Bizarrely to reduce this overstuffing of the UK wardrobe Oxfam will provide customers who bring in their old M&S clothes a voucher worth £5 off when you spend £35 or more on clothing, homeware or beauty products (food excluded)

Mrs. Mildred Maningham-Braindead from Harrogate North Yorkshire said "it gives the poor a better chance to wear nice clothes rather than the nasty sportswear they tend to dress up in". "My friend Maurintia who volunteers at the local shop every other Thursday aftenoon has to put more than half of the donations into landfil or we have to ship them overseas to the happy China factories as they are not up to the quality Oxfam customers demand.

Oxfam manager Sue from Richmond who had just returned form a corporate brain wash day designed to encourage savy consumers to drop the long running boycott of M&S for its disgusting long standing support for the occupation of Palistine, megga donations to zionist right parties and the stocking of products such as olives stolen from Palistinian farmlands now in the hands of 'settlers'

Jeremy Hobbs, director of Oxfam International, said:
"Oxfam International is gravely concerned about the life and safety of the civilian population residing in the Gaza Strip, just as it is for the Israeli civilians..... But it is in Gaza that a population of 1.5 million people is undergoing collective punishment.

M&S supports Israel with approximately $233 million in trade every year (Jerusalem Report, 5 June 2000) .


In 1998 Sir Richard Greenbury Marks & Spencer, received the Jubilee Award by the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. This is the highest tribute ever awarded by the "State of Israel" in recognition of those individuals and organizations, that through their investments and trade relationships, have done the most to strengthen the Israeli economy.
