trafficking
Alan Davies, the shadow home secretary is reported to have said that the government should sign the European Convention on Trafficking.
Hurray and hurrah. It is welcome indeed that someone of Mr Davies stature is finally talking about the issue - and particularly is bigging up the Poppy Project.
Once is forced to wonder what took Mr Davies so long, however. About a year ago, I wrote to my MP about the issue as part of a Protest4 campaign I am involved in. Not only that, but Protest4 received initial funding from The Centre for Social Justice for its The Truth Isn't Sexy beermat campaign. This is an organisation set up by Iain Duncan Smith MP - still a fairly senior politician in the Conservative Party.
Please God let this be the tipping point where the politicians take the issue of human trafficking seriously.

I meant to add my 'Amen' to that, oops.
