3 Women enslaved

[Bluerevolution]

It has been confirmed this happened in Tessa Jowells constituency, clearly stated NOT in the Dulwich half of her constituency.

I can confirm the location of yesterday's Lambeth 'slavery' arrests was in the constituency of Tessa Jowell - Norwood/Tulse Hill/Herne Hill.

Tessa's constituency is split between Southwark and Lambeth but the arrests were in the Lambeth half - not Dulwich.

Sorry, Bluerevolution please could you clarify your point.

Is it the worry that it could have been happening in a house next door?

Or about our MP somehow not being alert enough?

[Loz]

Not the biggest fan of TJ, but even I couldn't pin this one on her...

[Bluerevolution]

fact it happened so close to us all, would hardly think Ms Jowell would have realised whilst out canvassing

[Alan Medic]

So your point is...........?

[El Pibe]

Did Tessa Jowell have nothing to do with Yellow Cake too?

I reiterate, Yellow Cake for dirty bombs and TESSA JOWEL have nothing to do with each other apparently, YELLOW CAKE, TESSA JOWELL.

nothing to do with each other

I knew I'd regret clicking on this thread.

[Alan Medic]

Is YELLOW CAKE a sponge?

[LadyNorwood]

Parts of Dulwich are in Lambeth....

[Millhaven]

Shhh..

[PeckhamRose]

On the BBC webpage it asks for people in Lambeth to tell them how they feel that this happened so close to them in Lambeth. If I were on the other side of the planet I would feel JUST as bad that it happened as I would had it been in the next street. So sad.

[Jessie]

I heard it was Brixton. V v sad.

[Millhaven]

Sounds suspiciously like this story isnt quite as horrific as first reported. I had images of 3 women handcuffed to a pipe in a Lambeth cellar. Not saying they weren't ill treated but I suspect there has been some sensationalism afoot.

[Bluerevolution]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but doesn't constituency map cover MOST of East Dulwich ?

or do you not realise ??

[StraferJack]

Agree with peckhamrose here

But Blue revolution is just being plain weird

[fl0wer]

Maybe more newsworthy at present is that the Freedom charity says it has been approached by many more people since this story broke.

A gradual discovery that enslavement can happen anywhere, because as a spokesperson said on radio this morning, it is a fairly easy crime to conceal.

What a strange post, not sure what response the poster is looking for.

Anyhow this isn't really a revelation, there have been several programmes on TV about slavery in the past year or two. It's sad that in this day and age it still goes on, especially without others in the same street knowing anything about it. We have isolated ourselves so much, maybe we should be more aware of our neighbours. Sad to say gone are the days of people knowing everybody in their street.

millhaven - i presume you think this story has been senstinonalised ? In what way ?

[davidh]

millhaven is just one of those forumites who likes to appear knowledgeable, particular about the media. as one who worked in fleet street for 1000 years, I can tell him he knows precisely zippo and should zip his lip pronto. btw, I have told him this myself. worra pratt.

[tallulah71]

I bet the 3 women don't think of it as sensationalism. What an ill-thought and insensitive post

[DulwichFox]

Well it has been revealed on BBC News that the house they were found in wasn't built 30 years ago.

This would mean that they would all of moved at sometime if the story is credible.

Also revealed that the women were allowed out of the house at times.

Neighbour revealed that on one occasion when he knocked at their door all 5 occupants came to the door.

So there are a lot more questions to answer.

Peckford Place is in Brixton, not Stockwell:
