THE 21ST CENTURY MODERN DAY SLAVERY INCREASES IN THE UK WHILST THE BRIT EXITS THE EU AS EFFORTS TO ERADICATE THE SLAVERY GOES UNDER NOTICE AS VICTIMS MERRILY SMUGGLED ACROSS THE BORDER TO BE USED AS SLAVES - IF IT CAN HAPPEN IN THE BRITAIN IT CERTAINLY IS HAPPENING IN ANY COUNTRY - ITS JUST NOT BEING REPORTED BY THE MSM

Efforts to eradicate modern slavery in the UK are failing, with the number of potential victims being trafficked into Britain rising by 245% over the last five years, according to official figures.


Police and other authorities identified 3,266 people last year thought to have been the victims of modern slavery compared with 946 in 2011, a rise that has prompted disquiet among MPs and charities.


The figures from the National Referral Mechanism – a government safeguarding framework that aims to help potential victims of trafficking – reveal a steady rise of potential slavery victims over the last five years, with the single largest annual increase between 2014 and 2015 when nearly 1,000 extra cases were recorded.


Although ministers believe the figures suggest more victims were willing to come forward for help, others are urging the police to step up their efforts and argue the statistics confirmed that trafficking and slavery are thriving in the UK.


Tim Farron, leader of the Liberal Democrats, said: “Police forces can and must do more to crack down on this barbaric crime. Slavery is abhorrent and has absolutely no place in the world. It is utterly gut-wrenching to think about people in bondage, in Britain, being held against their will.”
