‘Jamie Oliver’ needed to fight modern slavery

Victims of modern slavery need a “Jamie Oliver” to champion their cause and bring an end to the practice, a local councillor has said.

Midlothian Councillor Russell Imrie made the claim as he said the biggest challenge in the fight against the abhorrent trade was convincing the public it was real. Mr Imrie was speaking this week as he brought a motion to sign up to the Charter Against Modern Slavery.
