This also exposes the huge lie that is Brexit. If you remember everyone that already felt left behind in this country in 2016 voted for Brexit as they were promised change, remember more money for the NHS etc. the complete opposite has happened. Farage ,Tories and Labour all lied to us.

🔥 Harrods: What do the survivors do now??

The courts, the redress scheme, the police — all form part of the same legal abyss.

◾ Survivors cannot access the courts, let alone for trafficking

◾ Harrods’ “redress” is run by the institution itself

◾ The Met refuses to name the crimes as trafficking

If Trump dates to sue - every word he uttered on 6th Jan, or subsequently, will be forensically examined in court to establish whether or not Panorama misrepresented him and so defamed him. Good luck with that Donald!
