Debenhams protesters are being arrested after occupying the Henry St store.

Protesters tell me they’ll “eat their Christmas dinner on the loading bay” if that’s what it takes to get what they’re owed.
Debenhams protesters tell me they’re fed up with politicians showing up for photo calls while nothing has been done to help them.
One demonstrator tells me this is a fight for “the working class”. In his opinion, other stores will follow the route of Debenhams once the pandemic passes.
