Today is Britain's first anti-slavery day. But didn't we abolish slavery in 1807?
Our local massage parlour has an iron gate across its entrance. It could be to keep people out. Or it could be to keep women in.
A few years back it was busted. Out of the building came a string of young women trafficked from Eastern Europe.
It now has a new name and a new owner. This morning as we made our way to church we saw two young, pinched faced women, waiting in the cold outside. They may not be slaves but to us they looked like prisoners.![]()
