Retail parks caused the demise of the traditional high street, and now they are suffering, probably due to internet shopping.

It's called progress and if I understand the ramblings correctly, Tusc have promised to ban it.

Still trying to pass on your false propaganda Torchie.
How much more do you think the country can take before the majority take things in there own hands and start to force things to happen in favour of Socialism, Keep pushing that unemployment figure up and it will come, people will get fed up with this Capitalist world of yours and force it to come to an end.
They are not suffering because of the Internet shopping, they are suffering because people don't have money to spend

Your ramblings force me to ask why Internet suppliers aren't suffering in the same way as the High Street?

It's really sad that under labour mismanagement of everything that mental health problems increased and caused a rise in socialism (aka complete delusion, false sense of entitlement, envy, constant mumbling and unwillingness to work for a wage related to the skill (or lack thereof) that their job demands).

Keep dreaming of trade union control of the UK, in the mean time your more than welcome to go to soviet Russia (oh yeah that one collapsed) erm....North Korea? You could try China, but they are more capitalist than any one so I guess failed state socialism ain't such a great idea after all.

Yet another private business picking up the job loses in the private sector...

Unfortunately Minion of the Milliband, it's all falling apart for you isn't it?

People are going to 'force it to end' are they?

Pray tell how? Will it be rioting in the streets, I would hope not after you've accused capitalists of being 'aggressive' in the past.

Perhaps the ever busy Diana Holland can spare some time in her busy schedule when she's not taking you for a complete mug?

Or maybe you & your mate Kev?

Still waiting on your revolution... yawn...

I used to shop at Mothercare when they were in Above Bar close to the shops. Since they moved, I've only been once; shopping on what feels like an industrial estate is so depressing. I bet the stores abroad that are doing much better are located in proper shopping streets.

could be something to do with their high prices !

They are Mothercare them selfs as a Internet shopping web site and this cut backs there also. Another firm who is suffering who do more on the internet shopping than most is cutting back its workforce by 6,000 which a third of the job losses is dealing with internet shopping.

yes like many other firms where, and just like many others deal with internet shopping and all having sales problems, where sales are down not just in there stores but also on the internet.
People just don't have the money to spend.

People don't have money to spend but they managed to find enough to panic buy garages stock until they ran out. Government legislation is forcing large retail outlets to cover up cigarette displays to persuade people not to buy them at £6 or £7 a packet and binge drinking continues to bolster the profits for the drinks industry. Which group of people apart from those who don't work through choice is it that are short of money?

What type of people panic buy at the Garages it was not the ordinary people on the street, it was the likes of your self who need to travel a fair distance to get to work insted off moving with in walking distance of place of work, its your type that lets the conditions control and dictate to you in sted of taking control of the conditions and you controlling it.
People dont work though choice they don't work because there is not enough jobs cause though the greed of the 2% and is not a choice.

Mothercare has been hit by supermarkets selling cheap baby clothes and the rise of upmarket brands like Phil & Teds coming into the frame.

I didn't see anyone panic buying petrol here in Prague. As for controlling conditions, if you'd bothered to take the offer of the free education and worked a reasonable amount you may have been more in control of your life as other people are in control of theirs. There are fewer and fewer jobs available for unqualified people and those who don't bother will always be at the mercy of circumstances beyond their control.
