Police target travellers sites in major operation to tackle modern slavery

[@jesoby]

Comments equating zero hour contracts with forced labour haven't got a clue.

[@borisjohnson1473]

Equating it with literal slavery rather.

[@scoyle1750]

Maybe home owners in England should be more aware of who they are hiring as this is a nation wide issue

[@TomTom-ul1sw]

Makes you wonder just how many are in this situation

[@colinwishbone4437]

Jail the lot.its pure greed ,laws don't mean anything to these crooks

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

Not much difference to modern day slavery under zero hours contracts and the Jobseeker criteria regime.. Government does just as many illegal activities... Just because Government say something is legal or illegal doesn't me that is always so.. they change the rules and law and move the goalposts when it suits them..

[@chrisb4009]

How can you possibly compare a zero hour contract to a person being held against their will with threats of violence and forced to work against thief will.

[@rickyraw5457]

Always trouble and an increase in crime when the travellers arrive...and a whole lot of shit and mess left when there moved on

You have no right to do this 💔 my site always gets raided for no reason no one is wanted there’s no drugs! They made the site to get us of the streets so they made sites for us to live but you still won’t let us live privatly ☹️

[@pegknife]

Well you's shouldn't deal drugs,rob ATM's,have slaves or go chorin then should you's ??

[@twat4cocks678]

The problem is gypos/pykies have a really bad name and unfortunately 90% of gypos are bad, not all of them but the majority of them and that, if ur pykey yard is genuinely good no crime then fair enough

[@akame2937]

Yeah fr you lot are scum bro we don’t want you here

[@100tallpaul]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Thismanisright]

You travellers are all the same , you break every law under the sun , steal and scam people to make a living then act like a vicitim when the police come knocking on your door as if they should just leave you alone? Comical.

[@chelseadonoghue6483]

Hello everyone

[@TammyDavies-je8mv]

The conditions that they live are not poor when you’re showing inside the trailers they’re just messing and that’s The mess of people have made themselves I don’t understand why the police try acting like travellers/gypsy are such bad people And what the police don’t realise them people i’ll probably anymore money than they would working in a shop

[@Thismanisright]

Are you serious? there was travellers in Scotland just a few years ago who got caught doing this exact same slavery thing and it turned out some of them were working for no pay and had death threats about trying to escape. One report even said one guy claimed he was left to sleep outside in a shed naked and eat dog food and drink his own piss if he was thirsty.
