I think my reply was taken out of context I wasn't talking about London but the age old problem of crooked people telling others their life could be so much better.

And although and Treaders says some of the conditions they are kept in here in the UK are disgusting by our standards but are better than their own back home, I believe it's the sheer isolation and imprisonment which is the real inhuman thing to do. It's an age old story unfortunately the streets of London aren't paved with gold!

I consider myself very lucky to have "gotten out and gotten on" but for some people this just isn't possible. I often think of the poor guys from Bangladesh (I think) working in construction in the gulf states - 50 degree temperatures and if one of them dies "oh well".

Last autumn I was so ill and our son was dying and needed me at the hospital. First she said I had to go to the surgery ( I couldn't) then she said she wasn't coming out.<br /><br />Later she turned up out of the blue and stood in the hall making me go downstairs. She said she couldn't find anything wrong with me! What I didn't know at the time was that she was already awaiting a trial date for slavery and physical abuse charges.<br /><br />She was convicted and has been imprisoned and it was in all the national papers. (I actually was very ill and was later treated). Some people are just not whom they seem... I am in London!Lesneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139947264337493961noreply@blogger.com
