    Sure all farmers are slaves to the EU.

    Though it's terrible than a person would prey on a vulnerable man and make him work and live like that. The poor man was living in sub human conditions.

    15 hr days ffs the poor man and no heating or comforts. I couldn't stick 15 hour days yes the odd few but that is pure slavery.
    That man should have gotten 13 yrs for the 13 he took from this man

    I remember reading an article last year where a family was charged with simular offences in the UK. Same name from memory.

    Also pay him for lost wages plus damages and hardship money. The son pleaded guilty so his ould fella could escape jail :mad:

    I think this is the same case that was highlighted last year. Hopefully the guy is in a safer place and content.
