This is a rehash of the notorious The Hunt for Britain’s Sex Slaves by October Films, and comprises the fraudulent nonsense a film company in London comes up with to get itself out of the shit after it’s devoted months of film crew time and footage into a police anti-trafficking operation (Pentameter 2) that got precisely nowhere.
Basically, it lies its teeth out….
Pentameter 2 famously convicted ZERO persons for human trafficking as internationally defined. But just after the start of it – and nothing whatsoever to do with Pentameter 2 – a Danish client in a brothel in Plymouth UK rescued a trafficked woman, leading to the convictions of an international gang.
The facts – that a client was necessary to achieve the escape – would, of course, ruin the pitch. After all, it’s supposed to be all the fault of clients, just like the international banking crisis would never have happened if naughty people didn’t have bank accounts.
Yep. Like I said on the Pontifications post,, the UK is crying for a good spoof-you-mentary. 70% Hot Fuzz 30% Michael Moore. You could make a kickass video Stephen. You should.
The clip stated explicitly that 67 people were charged with trafficking and 164 ‘victims’ were ‘rescued’. That’s not even 3/pimp, even if all 164 were in fact being pimped. What are the 406 ‘suspects’ being investigated for? Wearing booty shorts in public? Whistling at pretty women on public sidewalks? Or are the cops just harassing some massage parlour owners, looking for excuses to accuse them of human trafficking? Like always, something is very wrong with those numbers.
