There was an article about forced labour and modern day slavery on the morning noise. What caught my eye was the spokeswoman for "Bedfordshire Against Modern Slavery".
How bad is it that they need a county specific anti-slavery lobby? If only we had someone from the local tribes who could give us the view from street.

also does it mean that Bedforshire is ok with the old version of slavery?

Without wishing to find myself in a Woy situation, I believe that much of modern slavery, especially in the UK involves Indian and Pakistani persons or those of such heritage, both as the slaver and the slavee. Bedfordshire has some times with larger than most numbers of such persons so there is perhaps more of a need for direct action and support in the county.
In mostly unrelated news, it seems people from Bedfordshire are called 'Clangers'.

Clangers are disgusting suet sandwich roll made of meat and 'taters at one end and Jam at the other.
Whilst either filling could be tasty, there is a terrible interstitial interface where non-complimental ingredients interfere with the integrity of the snack as a whole leading to a rather unpleasant experience and a definite desire to spit out the aforementioned holistic meal.

Obviously yours were not made by a Clanger Guru. They can be absolutely delicious (if made properly with the correctly seasoned and cooked ingredients), awful otherwise.

That's because they communicate by whistling, and believe in the Soup Dragon.

There is a lot of Eastern Europeans involved too.
Mostly it is sex trade, but also nail bars and building work.

The Scots drink girders.

The scots eat deep fried confectionary, so I don't think drinking girders quite counts.

I keep seeing minibuses drive past here that proudly declare that they're specialists in "personenvervoer" on the side.
personenvervoer = people trafficking.
At least they're honest evil criminals.

I think a better translation is "transporting people". Of course, we used to "transport" people to Australia in the olden days so who knows?

Movie Quote Of The Day
If we all go for the blonde and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no on likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blonde? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid.
Which movie?

I was merely a child, too young for Debbie at the time. Back then I had to resort to movies with violence, blood and death.

Only the Ugly calls him Blondie -- but that's probably only Dagwood envy.
