Mouthpiece Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 There have been rumours doing the rounds for ages about this and it seems the police have finally made six arrests. It’s not exactly the thing that you’d expect to be going on in the IOM but over 200 people are referred to of Algerian, Filipino, Indian and Pakistani origin. It seems that our government is so desperate to get people in under some misplaced belief that they will distribute to government coffers that they’ve turned their backs on any sense of good governance and control. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/arrests-made-in-modern-slavery-probe-655602 In the meantime we can’t even encourage our own kids to return from Uni with any sensible incentives whilst leaving the door open for sleazy people traffickers. This government has lost the plot. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 100,000 or bust. Fill all those rental properties. Work permits not required. Modern slavery and people trafficking on the IOM. What a disgrace. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice on FB there is a huge increase in people advertising for shared rooms or space in shared houses with African sounding names. It looks like we are bringing a lot of people over here who can’t really afford to live here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This government has lost the plot. IOMG lost the plot years ago. What you and others are saying is perfectly reasonable, sadly though, the usual IOMG cheerleaders will be on criticising those who express negative opinions. This report is serious, especially if any charges arise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I wonder how many of those arrested (presumably the organisers) actually have UK settled status? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cueey Lewis And The News Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) It looks like there’s some nice little dodgy earners now going on around our slave labour network. No not only can you come here on a dodgy VISA but we’ll do you a dodgy IOM drivers license as well no questions asked and no need to take a test. Nice pigeon English too. This is clearly what we have opened up in our quest to keep civil servants employed in the style they have become accustomed to. Straight into the database too so I wonder who they have working at the DOI or IOM Post?

Moghrey Mie Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 This is the part that should concern us. '........it is not known how many arrived here, how many have moved on to the UK or have gone back to their home country.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been doing the rounds on Facebook last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 As a Friday evening non-sequitur.... years ago the daughter of a friend was knocking up fake driving licences - not for driving, but for school friends to use as ID to get into pubs. You know what school kids are like. Always doing stuff that they shouldn't. But eventually the police turned up on the doorstep. They told her to knock it off - and complimented her on her workmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
