'Two people have been arrested as part of an investigation into slavery and domestic servitude at a house in London sparked by a report on Sky News.'

I'm very glad that the women were freed. I wish I could say I found these news stories shocking anymore.
Being a slave for 30 years in a civilised country like the UK and furthermore in London, is unheard of.
They're probably royals or something.Lambeth Slaves: Two People Arrested Released On Bail By Police
The 67 year old couple who were arrested have been released on bail.
Quite worringly the nature of slavery is benign to benificent in some cultures.
Effectively food and board for life which would be an enviable position in places where the alternatives are worse.
About the human equivalent of adopting rescue animals.
That would only make benign to benificent ownership of humans wrong in exactly the same way that benign to beneficent ownership of animals is wrong though.
That way being that whenever a door is held open for the most benign and beneficent then that same door is also open to the malign and malicious.
Slavery involves profit for the slaveholder ...
They're probably royals or something.
I wouldn't compare human slavery to adopting rescue animals. Slavery involves profit for the slaveholder and taking care of rescue animals is very unprofitable I can assure you! I think breeding or keeping animals to take their fur, feathers, skins, flesh, young etc... to sell for money could be compared to human slavery though.
Tsk, tsk. It's about time that everyone realized that Clueless Git's logic is impeccable.
I think that one gauge to a persons confidence in their own logic may be in how often they finish off their sentences with question marks?
In other news ...
The pair concerned have been released on bail but details as to why I've not found anywhere.
Don't be too quick, sugar-buns.Why, Clueless Git, I sense that you don't like me. I should post that in the What are you happy about today thread.
Why sweetie, I didn't know you swung both ways.Don't be too quick, sugar-buns.
I think there is more to this case than meets the eye, believe me!
