Less than meets the eye
There's something deeply wrong with this week's London Big Story about "slavery". Supposedly three people were held in "slavery" for 30 years, but they were able to call police and they were able to walk out of the house freely.
After the initial claims fell apart, the authorities are now talking about "invisible handcuffs". Pure nonsense. Raw bullshit. "Invisible handcuffs" are not handcuffs. If you can call out and walk out without being shot, you're not in slavery. You may be in a horrible domestic employment situation, you may need help in getting out of the horrible situation, but it's NOT SLAVERY.
I suspect the story will continue to unravel. It looks like the cops were brought in by some Commie activists with an ax to grind, and the cops found less than they expected.

Later: the cops are using a different description now, which makes more sense given the lack of actual force. It's apparently a religious cult of some kind, not slavery. Kudos to the coppers for quickly eliminating inaccurate language.
= = = = =
And later again: The cult turns out to be a Hindu version of Jonestown!
The two suspects in the south London slavery case ran a Communist collective in the 1970s that worshipped the Chinese leader Chairman Mao... The husband and wife, who are from India and Tanzania originally ... arrived in Britain in the 1960s and were associated with a number of extreme left political groups known to the police and security services.I'll bet the Hindu Commie "anti-slavery" activists who brought this case to police attention are conflicted now and may be regretting their actions. ¶ 3:07 AM
