It then came to light that they were living in terrible conditions and paid very little and had to pay back loans to come to England to the Gang masters. There was a connection to British wholesalers buying the cockles, on a small scale. But you are right, I'm sure there is a lot going on that we don't see.

Mark Berkowitz Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Modern day slavery occurs just about everywhere, even in Africa (where you'd think that they have already learned some type of lessons about how it should never happen again). "Smugglers in Libya are auctioning migrants off as slaves. At a property outside Tripoli, CNN's Nima Elbagir witnessed a dozen men go under the hammer in the space of minutes." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S2qtGisT34 Plus there's the issue of African women being forced into sex slavery (in Italy) by other Africans. "African women seeking a better life in Europe face a long, perilous, often fatal journey across the Mediterranean. But when they do arrive, they confront yet another threatening prospect: conscription into sex slavery. Eighty percent of all Nigerian women who survive the trip to Italy end up coerced into prostitution by “Madams,” who are often former sex slaves themselves. Malcolm Brabant reports." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miH2IZXhZ1c Edited July 5, 2019 by Mark Berkowitz grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a recent arrest and subsequent conviction of a gang of Irish travellers who were doing pretty much what the polish gangs were doing From memory it was in East Anglia , once again those captured were alcohol and drug dependant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
