The point is if next can turn over billions of pounds they should be able to offer a living wage and offer one full time job instead of 4 part time jobs with huge profits come social responsibility! If that attitude means we are turning into France then I'll take it. I mean how horrendous it would be becoming like france.

Your point ignores the fact that turnover doesn't equal profit. Look at the supermarkets. I believe they work on something like 3% so there isn't any wriggle room. The reason their margins are so low is because of competition between them. If you remove the competition so that margins and then wages improve then prices will go up.
It's called inflation
BTW, what do you do for a job?
I worked at next for 5 years.. To say they don't make eye watering profits is ridiculous. And their treatment of staff is abysmal. Go in on a Monday not knowing how many hours you will have that week, some weeks 30 some weeks 8, and I was a student at the time and could barely make do imaging bringing kids up on that.
