Indentured White Servants Were Treated Worse than Black Slaves in the West Indies

[MNW67]

P&O ferries sacked all the staff on the North sea ferries when they docked in Hull, the police were called in and frog marched all of the British staff off the ferry, they were swiftly replaced by filipino workers on below the national minimum wage, most of them couldnt speak english or have any sea going experience. This is modern day slavery yet none of the lefty loonies care about that.

I thought it was awful.

and the proof is in the pudding, only the wealthy could afford slaves. It is not really any different now by importing cheap labour from other countries to do work we dont want to do for low wages. Now they are going home our fruit farmers etc are crying about it.

I can't work out what this means

It was disgraceful, but they got away with it, when I was in my suite on my cruise I was talking to our personal cabin staff that was at our beck and call day and night, I felt sorry for them as they earned peanuts and had to stay on the ship for 6 to 9 months at a time without being allowed home.

Each morning I would offer them coffee on our private deck and told them to take it easy, They enjoyed their stay with us as we treat them well and gave them large tips and because of this they would do anything for us, I used to get hot chocolates made by them at 3am when I got back from the bars. A lot of people treat them badly and it was always the toffee nosed twerps who didnt respect them.

My point being that these are no different to slaves back in thed day.

That's usual.

I disagree. But I also see your point.

On an evening we used to go to the posh dining for dinner, the waiting staff were brilliant, hard working and wanting to please. Lena and I always had time for them and appreciated their service, some toffe nosed twerps were snappping their fingers at them or grabbing their arms as they walked past their tables. Never heard any of them thank them or talk to them. The attitude of some people is horrendous and so anyone slating off the slave trade from decades ago only have to look around them now.

You need to think on...
