Met police are investigating.
Not seen the programme but first thing that comes to mind is he should've kept it to himself.

This human trafficking occurs more than I realised..

A good few years ago a family came to live in my area ,plus 9 kids .
Mum n dad are white,kids...definitely not white,they lived on the edge of the Moor,quiet as you like ,no problems..out of the way..etc etc..

One day I was helping out on a renovation for extra bivvy money in came one the kids I mention fully grown,a man ..very muscular,we got talking ,he is of Peruvian decent ,stolen, brought to UK ,as a baby,along with the other non Peruvian siblings..

He spoke perfect Cornish accent and was under the investigation of the powers that be ,I don't know what happened to him though..

Exactly

Unfortunately we live in a country where the punishment for trafficking is too often enacted on those who are already victims in the situation

Maybe his story will encourage people to see past the 'they're invading in boats' bs...

To be honest, it occurred to me that this might be why he is doing it. I think he's quite brave for doing so.

Careful noj, your daily mail is showing

Terrorists don't need any encouragement beyond their reaction to some of our government approved actions. You can only bomb the hell out of a country for so long before someone gets narked about it.

Not condoning or excusing it. Just simple observation.

Patel and her approach tries to hide behind the veil of 'keeping us safe' but nobody is really fooled by it are they?

As for Mo, I'd rather listen to his take on the whole thing than another right wing narcissist.

I hear story's of it all the time, madness!

My missus was dealing with a load of Albanians the other week, they were working in a drugs den, rival gang had gone in and gave them all a good beating and threatened to set them on fire, all press ganged into it, all illegals brought over, ultimately peoples kids

They should change the law for me, tie the dealers and traffickers up and then torch them

Jokes aside the law if far, far, far to Lenient on things like this, especially organised foreign crime gangs operating in our country, jail is a joke, it's how to deal with them and afterwards ban them from this country and every piece of **** that's in it with them

They had all had a good hiding with bats, proper mess, one of the residents had called the cops after hearing all the screaming, fact, not fantasy

Happens regular, especially the drugs side, broken fingers and hands with hammers is regular, my missus had one in the car a while ago, been hit on the head with a hammer, said she had never seen anything like it, 3 massive bumps like half a boiled egg on his head lol

Edit - last night an Asian dealer was saved, got badly beaten with bats by a team of Asians from another county, took all his drugs and his money, best bit, got beaten around 3 months earlier too, not good at hiding is he

Organised crime is massive

The difference between Albanians and Iranians (for example), is that both are here for economic means, but are total opposites as to how they intend to earn it. Albanians don't need traffickers to come here. They can pop onto a flight to Italy and stay in the Schengen for three months selling gear there, until they can earn enough to buy a moody passport and hop onto a flight to whichever airport they wish. If they get through, they can earn under the radar selling drugs until they inevitably get caught. At this point, they'll pull a family member out of their arse who ironically made the same path a few months earlier. Tada! ECHR then allows them to stay here via right to family life. If they DON'T get through, they'll claim asylum on the spot (after lying about their identity) and bring just enough money to look after themselves until the time comes to join the queue at Croydon. Guess what? They don't turn up. Then the above ECHR cycle occurs again when they get pulled over with 20 wraps of pub grub.

Trust me, we get more economic piss takers than we do actual refugees. Albanians are fleeing nothing apart from a lack of earning potential. Same with most of those claiming from Africa, Iran, Indians pretending to be Sri Lankans, or Georgians who are here doing god knows what on behalf of god knows who. As for the Hondurans or El Salvadorians, they take advantage of Voluntary return system and earn £3,000 each. Lovely times! Especially if you're a couple who came over together yet deny all knowledge of each others existence, despite some how turning up at the same time. All of them are fleeing the same gang or cartel. They all transit through Spain, which speaks the same language as them, but it isn't safe enough for them (apparently) so they ALL transit to the same bedsit in London. What are the odds eh?

I guess it will take a while before people realise that others around them have taken the utter piss out of the asylum system in this country, and there is a disparity between those fleeing war or persecution, and those who know it's a tidy earner for their family back home. I guess it's just whether you want to accept what you're being told, or what the reality is.

Yes sorry. I know what it means.
I was trying to say to Goose maybe the ECHR was a reason nothing gets done?
