  we have all been shocked by the recent story but it appears to be the tip of the iceberg.
  
  a special police unit and a charity have been set up to deal with it.

  This certainly seems to be a bigger problem than I am sure most of us realised.
  
  It is reported these unfortunate people are kept under control by threats and intimidation regarding the family they have left behind in there homeland so is the term slavery for all really accurate or are some more like indentured servants.
  
  In this day and age I think both are wrong.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
