Slavery

[bunn]

Last night on the local news, some person who had 'written a musical about slavery' said 'there are more people in slavery now than at the height of the Atlantic slave trade' and that 'there are slaves in every town and city in the UK'.

Can this possible be true? I know human trafficking exists, and is a terrible thing, but surely this has to be on a much smaller scale, given that it is illegal?

Ah I see. Mind you it does depend on how big a town they mean, giving helpful definitions would have been good of these statistickers. Technically 'Bubbles' sex slave brothelmassage parlour in a nearby town, was in that town, but reporting of it made more references to the general conurbation around abouts.
