Don’t get pulled along by the Daily Mail’s, et al, next dodgy debate about migrant workers. Instead do something useful and watch Nick Broomfield’s Ghosts, which is coming to the region, and understand the plight of people who are exploited by human traffickers and unscrupulous employers (cheap food anyone?).
But don’t think it can’t happen here (Broomfield’s film is based on the events in Morecombe when 26 people died while picking cockles). According to Nigel Costly of the South West TUC: ‘We are doing lots around migrant workers and unfortunately have too many examples of poor treatment in Devon.’
Of course we’ll be following up on this and try to give you the real, personal truth behind the headlines.
Come and enjoy Devon – book a hotel and get away!
