      I’m not comfortable with slavery existing on this island and I think we should reduce immigration to zero to prevent it occurring.

      This is why your teenager can’t find a job, by the way.

      Clearly a need to get a grip as quickly as possible, repatriate those poor people back to the homes they were taken from and let 18 year old students serve pints again whilst moaning about that hegelian dialectic paper that’s due in the morning.

      And my former landlord just got hit with slavery charges… Because one of the slaves was beaten to death by his son… Who wasn’t charged with murder…

      All of his slaves are poor English people too.

      Desperation already set in decades ago for the poorest British people.

      Urgh so much in this country would be solved by us all actually having a national ID with biometrics and some identifiers saved.

      Edit: why are people so against it?
      We live in a world where Instagram has been caught that it can tell who’s account is a young girl and whether they are feeling depressed and will market make-up to them. Or Googlemaps being able log every detail of your life when you travel like every time you step out of a car.
      Yet everyone gets a wiggle on about a really basic version on what is essentially a drivers license but will help no end in basic statistics.

      Modern slavers need to rot in the worst of nails for a minimum of 10x the time they stole from their victim. Have all their assets ceased and then gifted to the victim.

      This is nothing new, not just bars but restaurants too and many other industries.

      I think it’s important to distinguish between trafficking forms of slavery – where someone is brought to the UK under false premises and without volition or consent and economic forms of slavery.

      Both are rampant, and I suspect grossly under-reported, to the level it should be a national scandal.

      In the economic form, people are voluntarily working illegally for personal economic gain, but a proportion of their payments will be redirected to their ‘sponsor’.

      This is not just at the scale of swapping deliveroo accounts but legitimate sponsors taking cuts ‘under the table’.

      The government won’t be naive to this, they are an active part of the problem.

      That’s why they keep pushing for immigrants and refugees, they are vulnerable and free to be exploit, you only have to pay them half, and they will do double the work.

      Anyone caught being involved in the modern slave trade should be sentenced to indefinite community service and forfeit every asset they own, including any future inheritances.

      Betcha a tonne of them are in construction too.

      All those vape and phone repair shops? Probably paid seemingly above board. The illicit funds? Excessive cash in hand jobs to the workmen tasked with reworking the interior.

      ‘Migration minister Mike Tapp said: “Those who abuse our immigration system must face the strongest possible consequences. We will not hesitate to ban companies from sponsoring workers from overseas where this is being done to undercut British workers and exploit vulnerable staff.”‘

      Ban companies from sponsoring overseas workers? Shouldn’t the ones responsible be prosecuted??

      People love to point out other countries in the Middle East as being ran on slave trade, yet don’t open their eyes to what’s in front of them. For all intents and purposes the government allowed this, encouraged it even!! We are by no way squeaky clean!
