Modern-day Slavery: Low Pay, No Pay, No Prospects, disguised as employment, Forced Labour and Workfare

Singapore, housemaids sold a commodities in a shopping mall for the rich, advertised as going cheap and not requiring any days off:




UK, workfare, 6 months, 40 hours per week, not including lunch breaks, no sickness allowed for, as that could be a sackable offence, as could any rebellion for working for free with showing less than enthusiastic servitude to their masters. 'Fake' apprenticeships advertised as training, but really being work that otherwise would have been paid, albeit at minimum wage as care work for the benefit of poorer people and the community is regarded as very lowly in UK, by years of pay structures built up with minimal union involvement to secure better pay, on threat of getting the sack, whilst work gambling in banks, sports personalities or executives who wear expensive suits are valued highly. But not even minimum wage now for many, as the minimum wage guidelines are breached by ultra-low pay, disguised apprenticeship and unpaid workfare forced labour on threat of sanction of no benefits:








 
In the article it is mentioned that the Department of Work and Pensions representative indicates that, even though the UK government has repeatedly lost in court over legislation for unpaid labour and retrospectively changing the law, it insists it will ignore the high court ruling and continue to appeal any ruling.

UK Government backed media attacks UN and the UN rapporteur Raquel Rolnik for highlighting and criticising UK Government, DWP and minister IDS, over failings on human rights in its treatment of UK poor:



Ongoing blog item, shall be added to as appropriate with items from around the world, including unpaid forced labour in UK and an emphasis on disguised slavery in employment with no prospects, ultra low pay or no pay.

Weapons of Financial Destruction #WarMachine Austerity, Banksters, Corporations, Governments, Corruption

People's Parliament meeting July 1st 2014 with Artist Taxi Driver, Stacy Herbert and activists describing what is going on, briefly but detailed in the kind of way that is not covered in mainstream media. The truth shows where vast sums of money are made out of financial services, selling arms, including illegal torture products from the world's biggest arms fair in London.


Stacy Herbert on the global economy explained in easy to understand terms, but telling the truth means absolutely enormous figures. Mammoth  debts, the real scale of the collapse of the financial system, Libor rigging, Forex, derivatives. It makes the entire costs of benefits, social services, health and education minuscule by comparison and furthermore is a net boost to economies in providing jobs and providing necessary services, whilst the debt to bail out banks provides no boost to ordinary people , provides no services to society, but ensures profit of the rich elites in banking and corrupt corporations and MPs heavily involved and invested in the sector to profit from the people, whilst extracting all money from the public and put into private hands, taking it away from the poorest, moving it towards the richest.

Stacy Herbert on Weapons of Financial Destruction #WarMachine:


Even when banksters loose through banking and risky products, they have ensured they always stay absurdly highly paid, with mega bonuses and their losses are taken on by governments in bailouts and passed onto the masses through ideological austerity, ultra low interest on anyone with savings, 'bail-ins in e.g. Cyprus, near zero interest rate sin US and negative interest rates for banks in Europe.

Propaganda is centralised using media working with governments to mislead the public who mostly have no or limited comprehension of the scale of the dealings. But for many governments working together in the most right wing alliance since WWII taking advantage of the situation by idealogical austerity aimed at taking back societies to Victorian even Medieval Times, the Dark ages, a time of abundant wealth for the rich and peasantry for the poor.

Austerity implemented from bottom up, so the poorest are hit hardest and the rich actually profit from the losses, fuelling the greatest wealth divide in modern history.

 Artist Taxi Driver discusses the meeting and more









TTIP government/corporate corruption:



After 5 years of austerity, "a wealth transfer", UK National Debt and Deficit rocketing, constantly bailing out banks, ultra-low or no taxes for Corporations and Austerity cutting incomes for the poorest.

Russell Brand with Max and Stacy on the Keiser Report:






Russell: “I heard that the GDP have started including drug sales and sex trade sales to make GDP better is that true? Max:"...its about £10 billion of activity.." Russell: "... so they include it...Revolution…”
