You have to wonder if further, more sinister discoveries could follow, and if it isn't an isolated incident. But also that this could be a ploy to undermine traveller support in relation to Dale Farm, giving credence to potential legislation changes.

Yep i'm with you, theres got to be something fishy about it, and the bigest clue is that they were made to clean the travellers site on a sunday, which travellers ever cleaned a site

A most unlikely story in this day and age, and pretty worrying too.

I read in the paper, 'Police carried out a five month covert operation' - so the slaves could have been released five months ago?
I guess the police had tread carefully as to protect the gypsies human rights.

The police made the raid after 28 complaints by escaped slaves.

I do not believe for a second that the other travellers on the site did not know what was going on. It shows very simply what happens when you have a community like the travellers who believe themselves to be separate and above the laws of the country.

it seems all the more shocking it was men

considering we have lots of reports of female sex slaves, people dont seem that shocked in this

I like the way that having escaped this camp site, the victims are now being held waiting for an "expert in torture"... doesnt' sounds too promising!
