Nice post kofi, there there is just a few things I didnt understand.
We dont claim everything Britain has done in the past had a positive effect on the local inhabitants.
It was actually people from China Town in Liverpool, who had the chinese cockle pickers out on morecambe bay when they sadle died. Surely your not blaming the average British person for bringing in immigrant
workers. Im sure it happens, but most of the time when these cheap labour force rings are uncovered its people who are from the same country as the victims who are to blame.
Human trafficking has reached staggering proportions, affecting more than 700,000 people a year, says a US State Department report. Most of the victims of trafficking are women and children.
The americans have a task force "to safeguard the vulnerable, to punish the traffickers, to care for their victims and to prevent future trafficking". Many countries are working to end the problem but there is atleast 23 that are failing to do so:
Albania, Bahrain, Belarus, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Burma, Democratic, Republic of Congo, Gabon, Greece, Indonesia, Israel, Kazakstan, Lebanon
Malaysia, Pakistan, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea
Sudan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yugoslavia.
Why dont people blame these countries for slavery?
In my opinion we should prioritize trade with country's that still have the queen as the head of state. Countries that have got their independence have made it quite clear they dont want British involvement in their country.
