Some of the teenagers appear to be no more than schoolboys.
This week we tried to have them stopped. We even got in the health inspectors.
But all they did was ask the youths their ages - then took their word that they were legally old enough to WORK...before leaving them to get on with it!
To date, not ONE agency in this country has acted to stop this. Instead they have all simply passed the buck.
The owner of the site did the same - claiming the kids were merely unpaid "gypsies"... for whom he THEN offered to provide protective clothes!
Bizarrely, he blamed the Environment Agency for the whole, sorry mess.
We blame the LOT of them - for what is nothing less than a national scandal.
