— Ace There are some facts here which suggest this case will be politically troublesome.
First: These women were liberated October 25th. Why are we only hearing about this now? I suspect socio-political trouble is behind the delay.
Second: Apparently one of the "slaves" called an organization called Freedom Charity to help her after seeing a British program about the group's efforts to save the victims of forced marriage.
Third: This Mirror article is vague and short of specifics about the perpetrators. Almost as if neither the police nor media want to report politically-nettlesome facts about the kidnappers/enslavers.
So my suspicion is that this case might involve Islamists. We all by now know what the media and police are usually concealing when they are cagey about a perpetrator.
I'm having trouble thinking of any other reason that explains why these guys' pictures aren't on the cover of ever British tabloid with the huge "MONSTERS!" headline. I'm having trouble thinking of any other reason the cops didn't perp-walk them for the press.
Three women ‘slaves’ have been rescued after more than 30 years - including one who had NEVER had contact with the outside world.Officers arrested a man and a woman, both aged 67, this morning after investigations sparked by a call to a charity from one of the women.
All three - described as "highly traumatised" - were taken from a house in Lambeth, south London, to a place of safety several weeks ago.
The three women are a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old British woman.
...
The 30-year-old British woman had allegedly never had contact with the outside world, the Metropolitan Police said.
It is not yet known whether she was born in the house but she is understood to have been in servitude her entire life, they said.
The three victims are not believed to be related to one another.
...
“We have established that all three women were held in this situation for at least 30 years. They did have some controlled freedom.
“The human trafficking unit of the Metropolitan police deals with many cases of servitude and forced labour.
"We have seen some cases where people have been held for up to 10 years, but we have never seen anything of this magnitude before.”
Obviously the police know the slavers' names. And yet I don't see mention of them.
Although I once admired England, I find it extremely creepy that the State exerts such power to hide basic facts from the public, and that their control over the media is apparently sufficient that the media will observe their demand for a gag order.
Update: The Mirror is updating the story on a blog-type feed as information comes out.
At the 4:00 PM (UK time) update:
A gang who trafficked a vulnerable young woman into the UK from Slovakia where she was treated as a "modern-day slave", beaten and repeatedly raped were jailed for a total of more than 30 years last month.The "unsophisticated" 20-year-old was kidnapped from her rural home and put on a coach where she believed she was heading for the Czech Republic to find work, a court heard.
Instead, she was taken to London and then on to Bradford, West Yorkshire, where she was kept prisoner for weeks by fellow Slovakian Imrich Bodor, 45, before he passed her on to Pakistani asylum seeker Abdul Sabool Shinwary.
Shinwary, 38, also from Bradford, was a known fixer of sham marriages between Asians and Eastern Europeans, Preston Crown Court was told.
He sold her "like cattle" as a prospective bride to Azam Khan, 34, who took her to live above his uncle and aunt's shop in Burnley, Lancashire.
Well, that's horrible. It seems to confirm my suspicions. The gang abducting these women seem to have been Slovakian. (Which doesn't exclude the possibility they are Muslim Slovakian.)
Either way, it does appear that they were then sold to Islamic men.
Thanks to weft-cut loop.

The three women are a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old British woman.
Not related to each other, eh? I find that a little hard to believe, given their ages are perfect for a Malaysian woman who gave birth to a girl while enslaved in Ireland, then that girl gave birth to another woman while enslaved in Britain.
If they really aren't related, then they aren't the only slaves.

Posted by: Paladin at November 21, 2013 10:42 AM (LTquJ)
1. Courts cannot function unless Congress funds them — meaning both houses of Congress approving spending on them.
2. The Constitution vests in Congress decisions about what federal circuit and district courts we need. It does not say that once courts and the judgeships on those courts are established, these must be maintained forever.
If senate rules are now to be changed on the dime by the majority, all kinds of seemingly impossible things become possible.

I know a guy whose first name is "Jihad" and he's the nicest guy in the world. . .seriously. He goes by "Jay", and doesn't use the given name. I think that by family he's Muslim, but he's about as secular as they get.
Point is, its a mistake to jump to conclusions solely based on the name.

The article says the two people arrested were the "heads of the household," which leads me to believe there are others; probably sons. These women were clearly terrified.

As always , the movie industry thinks if one explosion or car chase is in a movie and its successful then the sequel must contain ten times as many explosions or car chases. So the answer to you question is it sucked.

I expect the Malaysian woman was brought over when the two people who were arrested came to the UK. The Irish and British women are probably of Asian descent themselves but were born in Ireland and Britain, respectively, then sold as slaves. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find they were the children of slaves themselves.

@106 My son pointed his finger and lectured me the same way when a nice islamic family moved in a couple houses down the street from him -- complete with wife equipped head to toe in black Hefty bag with eye slits.
----------------
In my first playthrough of the XCom reboot last year, the star character ended up being a Saudi woman. I imagine that there was an interesting story behind how she managed to end up as a soldier in a Western-style military. And that there were probably quite a few people back home who'd cut off her head in a heartbeat given the opportunity.
Of course, given that she was a psionic goddess on Earth by the start of the final mission, that might have proven just a bit difficult...

@128 The sex slave industry in the United States has been an ongoing problem but there has been some focused crack down in the past decade. Another immigration problem.

I know a guy who used to work for Immigration (and later DHS, when the latter assumed control of the former) who was involved in some sex slave cases. He didn't like to talk about them.

Given the propensity of "Asian males" in Europe, and the UK especially, to "groom" young European girls for sex slavery, I have to wonder,a ctually, about the ethnicity of the Irish and British women.

Unfortunately, the very publicity surrounding this case will mean that other slaves in similar circumstances will be even MORE abused, and won't have even the very paltry freedoms these women were allowed on occasion.

According to Bild, multiple calls. All slaves extremely shy, even after rescue they were afraid to leave the house. Irish girl called slave rescuer (the world has professions I had been unfamiliar with) multiple times before working up the courage to get rescued.

"They had been trying for a number of years to work out a way to leave," Prem told Reuters, declining to give details on the location of the house. "People will be shocked this can happen in the UK and in a capital city like London."
She added that neighbors had not reported noticing anything untoward happening at the property.
The women were doing "remarkably well" physically and mentally under the circumstances, Prem said. "This will be a very long haul for them to try to return to a normal life."

‘I don’t believe the neighbours knew anything about it at all,’ Ms Preem added.
‘It was just an ordinary house in an ordinary street. They were very restricted on everything they could do. We absolutely thrilled this has happened.’
Scotland Yard said while they had investigated cases of imprisonment before, this was the first time they had come across people held for ‘such a considerable length of time’.

OT slightly, but its about a 50/50 slaver / scammer when it comes to Russian mail order brides. I had one very cute Russian girl work for me who was absolutely miserable and likely abused by her husband and was afraid to leave him as she did not want to have to return to Russia. On the other hand she told me a story of another mail order bride who took everything from her husband and then had him killed by her Russian boyfriend.

And those slaves were all black.
If these women aren't black, then they can't possibly be slaves.

It's the standard euphemism across Europe. When you read "Asian youths riot in Paris," or "Asian men arrested in gang rape of Norwegian girl," it's Muzzies.

OT, but FFS. Our Vice Preezy is a fucking embarrassment.
Biden has to borrow cash to buy sandwiches
Fox NY: http://tiny.cc/cw1w6w
WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden made a midday lunch run Thursday to pick up sandwiches for himself and the president, but when it came time to pay the tab, the vice president came up short.
Customers gathered for a grand opening were taken aback to see the vice president sweep through the doors of Capriotti's, a Delaware-born sandwich shop and longtime Biden favorite. Biden quickly announced that the sandwiches — they're called subs, not hoagies, he asserted — originate from Wilmington's Union Street — "where I hang out."
"The president's waiting. I'm having lunch with him today," Biden said to no one in particular.
Four sandwiches later, Biden had racked up a bill of $56.25 for his to-go order, exhausting the contents of the vice presidential wallet. So Biden turned to his assistant, Fran Person, to borrow the difference as a shop worker offered one of the sandwiches to be on the house...
He didn't even have $60 in his pocket? Really?

There's a form of reading between the lines which one can perform at UK media Web sites. Certain articles are free-for-alls on comments, whereas certain other articles have comments completely disabled.
No one here would be surprised by the topics of articles where commenting is banned. Islam, immigration, race, crime, global warming, EU membership.
Those topics may be spoken about only by qualified, licensed, approved members of the Chattering Classes, who will further agree upon the already agreed-upon things. The quite possibly dissenting opinions of ordinary persons on those subjects are not welcome and are not to be voiced.

This is, fairly obviously, one of the subjects about which the UK elite have decided that the thinking and voices of commoners are not welcome.
The various agencies of the British state and the media barons do their best to even avoid mentioning the subject, even though it's an elephant in the room. When the occasional article does appear, when yet another "grooming" gang raping children comes to light, that article will have its comments section surgically removed before the commoners are allowed in.
