Tories spent 20 years saying, "You can't talk about immigration without being called racist!" and now they've got what they want – and it turns out it's slavery.

“If you get trafficked here against your will, we’ll only help you if your trafficker used a legal route”
What the fuck is this policy. https://t.co/TghjcfRNal

I’m not saying the government has lost its moral compass but they’re now boasting about the fact they won’t help actual slaves. pic.twitter.com/KUqTC0ksvQ

This is the PM’s tweet. It is also horrific in its implication that those who enslave people will be allowed to operate with impunity as long as they only enslave refugees. https://t.co/JR8ZhcK44n

People pushed by desperation will try to escape by any means. You deny sanctuary to appease the fear of the ignorant. Congratulations on becoming the axis on which this country turned from insecure to maleficent.

This speaks volumes.
To use one example:
Mo Farah was trafficked to the UK at age 9.
He was made to work as a child slave in the house for 2 years.
He was only rescued when his the PE teacher helped him access social services.
He would no longer have any recourse.
He would be deported. https://t.co/g01qA6R7Ra
