The benefits system is at breaking point. I’ve had people report to me at work that there is a 30,000 queue online and like 10,000 queue on phone to get through to Universal Credit. This is supposed to be a safety net to those affected by this current situation and they just can’t get access to that. Plus it’s then going to take a minimum of 6 weeks for their claim to processed. The government need to get a grip on this and fast or the DWP just won’t be able to cope.
 
Totally agree that the practices you list are abhorrent and we don't see them in the UK, but, we are hardly whiter than white, given our past (and some of our present). That's all, no biggie.

So the next time someone mentions slavery in the Middle East and why it needs to stop are you going to check them saying that by replying “well we used to do several hundred years ago”?

The next time ISIS start a religious war are you going to say “yeah but the crusades so we can’t criticise”?

It’s irrelevant because we’re talking about them doing it here and now, not 130 years+ ago.
