RT @timfarron: Britain is not being "swamped" by refugees. There are 19 European countries who take more refugees than we do.
But when Conservative MPs use this hysterical language it has consequences - it riles up the far right protestors who scream abuse at terrified people.

The slavery part of this is the worst.
Basically, if you are trafficked as a modern slave (I.e. you have no control over it) we won't recognise or protect you as a victim of slavery.

RT @Conservatives: It’s very simple - it’s this country and government who should decide who comes here - not criminal gangs.
Our new laws show we will do what is necessary to achieve that.

I don't mind the UK King meeting and shaking hands with the EU Commission President.
But I do find it ridiculous he doesn't shake hands with the UK Prime Minister or other UK elected office holders, who are meant to bow. It's the 21st century.
