"Britain may contain up to 60 million slaves
13-09-11

AS many as 60 million slaves could be living in Britain, it was claimed last night.

Experts said the slaves were being forced to do horrible, demeaning jobs and live in disgusting conditions.

Tom Logan, director of SlaveWatch, said: "We reckon they are being lured from schools and universities and then forced to work for about eight hours a day doing something completely pointless for a wage so small it may as well not exist.

"They are kept in tiny, beige-carpeted rooms, usually near dual carriageways or retail parks. Often these rooms contain little more than a television, a beige sofa and a Wii. It's just sickening."

He added: "We believe that every morning they are all crammed into filthy cattle trucks that take them to their hellish workplaces.

"These workplaces have a hierarchy of slaves. The senior slaves will be given slightly better rations in exchange for being especially pointless.

"And, of course, everything smells of urine."

But last night one of the alleged slaves, Bill McKay, said the accusations were 'unfounded' and insisted he was happy with his lot.

"The work is quite staggeringly pointless but I could leave any time I want as long as I didn't mind giving up my Ford Focus and my gym membership.

"I even have enough money to buy deep fried chicken once a week.

"And that, if you really think about it, is the definition of freedom."

Ever so true. Locked in, most of them never allowed to see nature or fully experience the change of the seasons. it must be most horrid experience.

If I had to live like that, I'd rather be six feet under.

I really feel for those that do.

I knew the article was from the 'mash' as soon I started to read, all true though.

Is the dailymash actually publishing real information, which is unbelievable and it sounds made up or do they actually post made up stuff?

It's English humour. Does it sound so unbelievable though? or just another way of viewing the bizarre world that we take for normality.

If you can view it that way and it sounds about right..... is it wrong?

It's been like that for years. Nothin' new, what goes around comes around.
This was from the late 60's, early 70's I think:

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same,
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
