Attached Link: Slave Britain

New photographic exhibition in London.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

I checked out the link and quite frankly I think the content should have been put in a different perspective.

It isn't the decent people of Britain that are involved in this sort of thing.

Its is people of their own kind exploiting them and frankly after the way many people come to Britain and are given free housing,benefits and medical help to say the least it is about time fingers were pointed in the right direction.

Yes I am annoyed

Yeah a very emotive topic and far too easy to jump on the bandwagon and blame religions and just about every nation cant be too proud of it history in this regard...  The Sex slave industry appears to stem from organised crime...  The usual blights on humanity of greed and suppresion wont go away overnight..... I  am afraid like saving the planet there are far too many involved in making money for themselves.... For example I wonder how much of the money that is made by the entry fee to St Pauls will find its way into doing away with the disgusting practices of the modern day slave market!

Unfortunately, this happens in the "dark side" of many countries, some being worse than others in  active control enforcement.   As long as some will pay... sad.

from the site :

"The exhibition runs from 21 February to 29 March 2007. It is open from 8.30am – 4pm and although the exhibition itself is free there is an entry charge of £9.50 to the Cathedral – concessions £8.50"

so how does that make the exhibition free? Theres an admission charge, albeit to the cathedral, but as the exhibition is within the cathedral it cannot state that its free. If you turn up and say "im just here for the exhibition" and they let you in, then fair enough but somehow I can't see that happening.

You know there's a pun to the word "Exhibition". I hope thats NOT what they mean though.

So there's a "cover charge" to get into the Cathedral?

I agree with ejn and TomDart - traffickers are not your everyday sort of common society. This happens all over the world - as long as people pay for it...
