Calling it modern “Slavery” is making out the illegals were dragged kicking and screaming to the UK against their will mate,that’s not the case,they are always complicit. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOKEL 2,364 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Haverhill, the town in that report is but a hop, skip and a jump down the road from me, done a bit of work over there a few years back. It's an absolute shite hole! Some of the sleeping arrangements mentioned in that article would be considered the height of luxury by some of the natives no-one, and I mean no-one has ever uttered the words "do you fancy a night out in haverhill"....

I don't agree. There are modern slaves in the fishing industry. In the old days if you were a trawlerman, you got a share of the catch and the skipper got two shares. An ordinary bloke could make serious money as long as they didn't blow it on drugs or drink etc. Then the skippers realised they could employ foreigners for a tenner an hour. Then a fiver an hour. Then a few quid a trip. I know of foreigners being beaten up, constantly bullied and physically abused. One skipper used to throw the few quid he owed them onto the deck to humiliate them. Others received no money at all. Some were injured, but the skippers kept on fishing rather than lose fishing time taking them to port for hospital treatment. These are cases which have been proved in court . People I know personally. So it does go on. I would think it happens a lot in the sex industry as well. You can never underestimate how low people can stoop where money is involved. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No I mean know the skippers. Scary feckers who have no moral compass and no or little fear. Some Thais actually swam for the shore to escape the conditions on the ship. Their abuse was proven in court, but the skipper got off with a slap on the wrist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You may well be right. I got into a pigeon English chat with some Filipino trawlermen up in Ullapool. They had just about emptied a couple of charity shops up there. One of them insisted I talk to his Mrs on video chat on his phone. A beaming lady with half a dozen nippers greeted me with big smiles, waves and hellos. Quite a nice moment.
