Women 'held as slaves for 30 years'

Three women have been "rescued" from a south London house as police investigate claims they were held as slaves for at least 30 years.

Police arrested a 67-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman in Lambeth.

Last month officers were contacted by Freedom Charity after it received a call from a woman saying she had been held against her will for decades.

A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a British woman, 30, were all rescued from the house.

The women, who are said to be "highly traumatised", are now in safe accommodation.

Deep in the nether-basement, a hive of pale slaves does JimC's bidding, solving devilish equations, with the unlucky dunces cracked across the head with a slide-rule.

Some bizarre far-left Maoist cult, apparently:

So that thing Seth always says about socialists "enslaving" everyone else, is true after all!

Well you don't hear about the EDF having slaves. Probably couldn't spell it.
