BHS, Top Man, Miss Selfridge etc CEO is racist

Despite a "some of my best friends.." style apology Philip Green of BHS continues to spew forth racist slurs from his tax haven in Monaco.

I would like to ask all IMC readers and anyone else who happens to use this as a news source to boycott the following stores:

Bhs, Top Shop, Top Man, Wallis and Miss Selfridge.

There is at least one of each of these stores in Ireland. I ask you all to boycott the stores despite, or perhaps because, of his apology. Besides, their clothes are shit anyway and probably sweatshopped.

"Retail entrepreneur Philip Green was yesterday forced to offer an unreserved apology to the Irish in a bid to prevent a customer boycott of his Bhs-to-Top Shop stores empire. His apology was prompted by a suggestion, made by Mr Green during a Guardian investigation into his accounts, that the Irish are illiterate.
