Short excerpt from a YouTube video by James Laughlin (uploaded Dec 20, 2024) in which the speaker says the current coalition government has publicly declared modern slavery is not a priority. The speaker expresses concern, notes having written to the prime minister, and questions the moral legitimacy of prosperity built on slavery.
Sadly, the current coalition government has decided and has said publicly that modern slavery is not a priority for them. I hope that changes. There's a lot I could say, but I probably shouldn't. Why not? Well, I think I've. Hopefully what I've said already about modern slavery. I'll share what I said publicly and in writing to the prime minister, actually, that, you know, any kind of. I understand the drive to balance the books and to focus on cost of living and inflation and economic prosperity. But as I said earlier, any kind of prosperity or wealth that we enjoy in this country, if it is built on the back of slavery, what kind of prosperity, what kind of life is that?
