Thread Name: BS: Apologies over slave trade?
Subject: RE: BS: Apologies over slave trade?
An apology is a nice gesture but it rings hollow when governments are doing very little to halt human trafficing. It almost feels like a "whitewash". I don't buy it for a minute. Seems to me if they are putting so much money into securing the borders against terrorists, they should also be able to bring the slave trade to a halt. Thats not happening, though. Capitalism is still largely dependent on labour that is enslaved or paid poorly.

What the minimum wage these days?

Reminds me of the sinner who asks for forgiveness and turns around and does the same thing the next day.
