"Now what was that about the Rooney clan of travellers and slaves in Lincolnshire recently?"
Now there's a good point for examining the state of Britain's politics today
Around a month ago the police made a massive sweep on suspected 'slavers' and found a huge network of gangs and individuals involved in sex trafficking, domestic servant slavery, pimping and prostitution.......
What did the press focus on - the criminal behaviour of eight individuals who happened to be Travellers
Nothing was taken up about the hundreds of other non- Travellers who were uncovered in these raids.
Who does our right winger here hone in on, totally ignoring the fact that our economy is becoming reliant on goods produced under slave conditions, the pimps and traffickers, the domestic slave holders.....?
Eight individuals who were Travellers.
A survey a few years ago indicated that around a quarter of Britain's population held and have expressed racist views.
This little sect of Mudcat members appear to be a microcosm of what his happening in Britain today
What's's your point Iains - that only Travellers are involved in modern slavery?
If not - that is what your question indicates
