He think this will all soon blow over

Reasons for going there, it's not too far to fly, the sea is nice and warm, and the beach nice, nice standard of hotels and restaurants

I know.
Thats why i stated the fact that you are incorrect.
I cant help if people have racist feelings.

Nothing racist about me sunshine. Just saying the current UK taxpayer has done nothing wrong and doesn't need to pay even a penny in "reparations". History is full of bigger army diplomacy and people conquering each other.

The issue is that migrant workers are lured with false promises. They're promised lucrative jobs, a better future etc. And then they find themselves enslaved, abused, exploited and no way home.
I don't think it's as simple as saying they chose to go there.

Thanks I'll do some research about this as I was t res,ly aware the workers were kinda kept like prisoners, I just thought its better than the alterative for them

It's crazy how different some places are when it's actually a small world
We are so lucky
To be born in the uk
