Ine doesn't need to legalize #ForcedLabour when being wothout income is de-facto penalized harder than being a convicted murderer...

Forced labour is not an issue that just happens elsewhere!
Why proposed limitations on the right to strike would amount to the legalisation of #forcedlabour! (see LSE Blog below)
If you thought #class politics is a thing of the past, think again... this is yet more proof that it is the #Tories (not the left as the Rightest media would have it) that are conducting a #classwar
