We need to see more of this kind of anti-slavery action all around the world. From the story in the Telegraph: Last night, Mr Reid said: “In 1807 the slave trade was rightly abolished in this country. We now face a modern version of this despicable trade in the vile crime of human trafficking, which is destroying the lives of innocent people across the world. This plan will focus on prevention and enforcement, while ensuring that victims are successfully identified and given the support they need to overcome their ordeal.”
Slavery is a profound violation of human rights and a despicable affront to human exceptionalism. It needs to be crushed. Three cheers to Tony Blaire’s government for giving the issue such a high profile.
