I kid you not, the barman up and left, promised he’d be back in 30 mins! I was fast asleep before the game started but they woke me up for the bus home. They’re good lads really. The best thing to happen to Newtown was the by-pass. Llanidloes is a much better piss stop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't there for anything else. On both sides of the Atlantic. At least in Britain they don't come armed to the teeth and are always liable to have their shit kicked in. Are you really trying to say that’s acceptable behaviour, For all the huffing and puffing of the alleged fascists show me one video when one black person Has been set up on in this manner.

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted June 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2020 2 hours ago, Follyfoot said: Nobody that is alive today owns a slave And nobody today in this country that am I aware of is a slave You need to look more deeply then. From the Home Office's '2019 UK Annual Report on Modern Slavery' (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/840059/Modern_Slavery_Report_2019.pdf) : 'Modern slavery is a complex, harmful and largely hidden crime. The most robust estimate to date of the scale of modern slavery in the UK was produced by the Home Office in 2014, which suggested that there were between 10,000 and 13,000 potential victims of modern slavery in 2013. The average unit cost of a modern slavery crime, £328,720, is higher than the unit cost of any other crime type, apart from homicide.' The UK's largest prosecution for modern day slavery occurred here in Birmingham, just last year: CPS secures convictions in largest ever modern slavery prosecution 'A Polish human-trafficking ring have been jailed after the CPS concluded the UK’s largest ever modern slavery prosecution and what is believed to be the biggest of its type in Europe. Three people were sentenced today at Birmingham Crown Court, following the imprisonment of five others earlier this year. Many hundreds of vulnerable victims - often homeless and suffering from addictions - were lured from Poland to Birmingham with the promise of free accommodation and well-paid employment. When they arrived by coach the reality was starkly different. The traffickers housed their victims in cramped, substandard accommodation and gave them so little food that many were forced to attend soup kitchens. The workers were paid as little as £10 a week for jobs including picking onions, making fencing and sorting parcels. Mark Paul, Head of Complex Casework Unit, CPS West Midlands, said: “This is the largest modern slavery prosecution of its kind in the UK and perhaps in Europe. “The scale of the operation was truly staggering, with millions of pounds netted by the crime group as a result of their callous and systematic exploitation of vulnerable members of the Polish community. “Eight-eight victims came forward but the investigation revealed in excess of 300 other probable victims. Vulnerable men and women were recruited off the streets in Poland with the promise of a better life, only to be cruelly exploited and trapped into a desperate cycle of dependency with nowhere else to go.”' more on link: https://www.cps.gov.uk/west-midlands/news/secures-convictions-largest-ever-modern-slavery-prosecution If you don't want to read about it - understandable - I suggest watching Nick Broomfield's docudrama 'Ghosts', which is a dramatised version of the events that led to the drowning of Chinese cockle-pickers in Morecambe Bay that you might remember. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted June 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2020 Good night chaps, when you start quoting Polish people into black lives matter arguments I give up. I won’t give you an anecdote about Polish people I know because it will be shut down because it’s bollocks according to you. Ask a Polish person in the community what happens when someone steps out of line, especially in London regardless of race and your have you answer. I noticed nobody has put up any images of single BLM Protesters being picked on by a mob. Good luck with that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said 'nobody today in this country that I am aware of is a slave'. Unfortunately, lots of people are held in modern day slavery in the UK. I provided one example, of a modern day slavery ring in Birmingham, since you clearly live in or near Birmingham. I gave you two options of things to read to educate yourself about the factually inaccurate claim you made (on a really important topic), and even a film recommendation if you didn't fancy reading. Your response is some irrelevant dribble that has nothing to do with anything. What I have taken from this interaction is that you are proud of your ignorance, and believe me when I say I will be applying appropriate discounting to everything you say in the future on that basis. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
