“The issue of slavery in the UK has made the headlines over the last few days and has thrown the UK’s ‘dirty secret‘ into the spotlight.”

Why is it a UK issue? The travelers in question don’t consider themselves part of this nation in any meaningful or practical sense. If its true the police ignored accusations because some consider the camp to be a no-go zone, this underlines the point further.

Now its true this might be a dirty little secret, but then you have to ask yourself why?

Why were so many accusations ignored for so many years?
Why have liberal commentators completely ignored this story? Not a single piece on Cif, check for yourself.

“recognition that this is an issue which tightening border control will not solve.”

Tightening border controls will not have an effect on the import and export of slave trafficking? Such statements are part of the problem.

Is this relevant link not allowed then d’you reckon?

I met a man whilst I was a traveler ina foreign land, he knew he solution to the slave trade problem. Its a shame Im not allowed to share

Capitalism is slavery, just because you get notionally better pay and conditions (even this is debatable for some low end jobs), you still HAVE to work to survive or have any meaningful quality of life.

you can dress it up in whatever rhetoric you like, but Capitalism changed the nature and apparentness of slavery, that is all it did for people though, the illusion of choice changes nothing about the reality of being enslaved to a system.

A quick look at the etymology of the word “mortgage” is useful as well, of course…

Yet more Lefty lies and hypocrisy!

For a start this has NOTHING to do with Britain at all!

The story that broke is IRISH tinkers/travelers/various criminal scroungers and rogues (NOT fucking Gypsies or any other ‘race’ for that matter, other than Irish!) coming over to England in their very expensive (where did the money come from) motorhomes and caravans and ILLEGALLY dumping their unwanted, unwelcome carcasses on our countryside and communities.

Where dodgy dealings, theft, fraud, litter dumping, wasted dumping and general anti-social activities then commence.
Activities also including slavery it now seems!

But they hide this criminal band of roving Irish layabouts behind a supposed ‘Race’ that does not even exist.
Irish is Irish!
You don’t change into a new race by buying a caravan!! OKAY!?

Endless English communities have moaned about this IRISH problem spewing itself onto OUR country and no one cares.
Or worse…the term (so loved by the so called Liberals on here) ‘Racism’ is thrown around at them, as fake Liberal morons seem to think these Irish tinkers are Gypsies!

Gypises are a genuine race historically persecuted…but they are nothing to do with tinkers from Ireland!
Tinker is not a ‘race’!
And this shield (so beloved of Liberals to defend that other non-race called Muslims) has protected such activities for years!

Hitler shoved gypsies into ovens…he did not shove irish tinkers into them!

So let’s cut this insulting, fake, rubbish that defends this criminality on wheels!

@4

So you think it should be possible to have a society in which you don’t have to work to have a meaningful quality of life?

Please explain this society. It sounds great – I would really like to not have to work.

@5

no one forces you to take out a mortgage

6. Calm down JimBoy before you have a stroke. If you look you’ll find that you are the only person to mention racism so far and the article itself doesn’t mention the Irish or Gypsies so take your rant somewhere relevant. This article isn’t about the Bedfordshire case, it’s about the wider issue.

Anyway @1. How would tightening border controls prevent this high profile case?

It’s a UK issue because it is happening within our borders and plenty of people responsible are British citizens.

How can restrictions on the number of foreign workers coming into the country not work to reduce the number of foreign workers exploited in this country?

Most places found that a ban on the slave trade, however imperfectly enforced led to a rapid end to slavery. For obvious reasons.

Seems a better solution that sitting around wringing our hands and feeling their pain.

@7 – Did I say otherwise? I said to consider the etymology… do you even know what that means?

@6 – More racist shit, I see. The Pavee, “Irish Travellers”, are a recognised ethnic group in Britain. They have a considerably different culture from both the settled Irish and the Romani, but don’t let that stop your rampant bigotry and racism against both the Irish in general, the Rom and the Pavee.

And Hitler never got his hands on very many Pavee, or certainly they’d have been alongside side the Rom. I notice your expression of regret for that…advocating genocide now? Ah, how typically EDL/BNP.

The Pavee, “Irish Travellers”, are a recognised ethnic group in Britain. They have a considerably different culture from both the settled Irish and the Romani, but don’t let that stop your rampant bigotry and racism against both the Irish in general, the Rom and the Pavee.

Then it is time to stop recognising them then. There is no real ethnic distinction and even if there was, it is cultural, not racial. So there is no racism here.

@4 – Dont be ridiculous, if thats the case life is slavery. After all you have to eat to survive. Its so unfair!

Bloody hell, Jimboy

Slow right down a minute. Aren’t you and the rest of the right wing nutterarti supposed to scapegoat the Communists, Trade unionists, Muslims, Jews, Blacks and Asians before the Irish? Fiddlesticks! I was just getting the hang of this ‘natural order of things’.

Jimboy,

It’s happened within the UK, therefore it is a British problem wherever the gypsies originate from. And secondly, Irish gypsies are like other gypsies across Europe. Being gypsies is their identity. If these gypsies were Romanian, would it be a Romanian problem?

@11 – Ahh, an apologia for racism now. No, no, keep boasting about it.

@14 – Er, careful there. Irish Travelers, the Pavee, are different from the Romani, who are found across Europe, including Ireland.

@10

I googled it before I posted, which confirmed my assumption. I do not understand the point of your original post – what does the etymology of mortgage have to do with slavery?

“‘Irish gypsies are like other gypsies across Europe”"

BULLSHIT! Yet again fake liberals invent a race to defend certain actions by a certain group of people.
You must be choking on Wolfson’s arse cream.

You actually insult ACTUAL Gypsies by saying some Irish criminal inbred, in a fraud financed caravan, is the same race as them.

Sigh @17 – …And once more we see why hatred towards Pavee and/or Romani is such a good weather-warning of the rise of the far-right racists.
