Steve, The slavery laws are new. The first ever convictions were four Travellers in July 2012. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/jul/11/four-face-jail-slavery-law-convictions Five Travellers were convicted in December 2012 for keeping a small private workforce and paying them as little as £5 a day for their work. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-rescue-three-male-slaves-from-traveller-sites-8991784.html The same link refers to two Travellers arrested in December 2013 on slavery charges. In 2016 a Traveller family was jailed for total of 27 years after a court heard two men were used like 'slaves' http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/travellers-descend-cardiff-crown-court-11405928 I may have missed some. The only non Traveller conviction I can remember is some Maoist cult leader. How many can you think of Steve? Unless you can come up with some others there is clearly a massive over-representation of Travellers convicted of slavery, as I said.
