Reports of modern slavery double in UK care sector
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Ditto the area where I am, plus signing up bonuses for people with care experience. Care work is often described as ‘low skill’ I believe this to be a misnomer, it takes a special set of skills to able to deal with people facing the health mobility challenges and often end of life, plus of course the families of these people. Not everyone can do this, I don’t think I could. Added to which is the emotional labour that is a natural part of the job. I suspect very few of the UK’s unemployed are cut out for this. -

I think sponge off the poor is a better description. Made all the more easier by distracting you with ‘immigration and immigrants’. -

And the bill for higher care costs will be paid for by? -
Scary moment for McConnell raises questions for GOP
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don’t like McConnell one bit, but it cannot be reasonably denied that like other older politicians, not subjects of this thread, he brings brings with him the long tooth experience of a lifetime in politics and consummate political skills. Governing the worlds most powerful democracy is serious business for which a mixture of young blood and wise old hands is essential. I wish Mitch a speedy and full recovery for his health and annihilation at the election for his party. -

You presume a lot of things, almost always entirely incorrectly. Try fact based discussions and avoiding personal attacks, they might together help you stay on topic. -

Please point out where in the OP or the linked article the statement is made that the example individual was trafficked? -

I’m not at all surprised. We know from past reports of migrant worker abuse that powerful people are often in the background. It doesn’t in and of itself make the migrant a ‘trafficked person’. Oh, and there’s that visa again. -

You’d need a very loose interpretation of that to apply it to this example given. Even the individual and the organization helping her aren’t claiming she was trafficked. There is no suggestion anywhere in the OP or the linked article that she and her family have been trafficked. That was a contribution from your very own imagination. -

I’m not sure that is the definition of human trafficking. Perhaps best not to assert human trafficking without evidence and facts. -

Forgive me, I posted the link earlier in the thread, and have reposted above. I have no expectation of anyone being a mind reader but I do expect, perhaps futilely so, that people engaged in a discussion would follow the discussion. -

That’s alright, she’s got a visa. No evidence of it being one of the ‘fake visas’ you referred to, and zero evidence of the ‘human trafficking’ you threw into the discussion. Oh and the thread is the whole OP not the single bit you wish to misrepresent.
