[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 7798964, member: 66524"] My wife’s great grandparents came from India to Kenya in 1897 from Goa and the Punjab. The Goans were Christians and classed a bit higher than the others.The Punjabis were brought as indentured labourers not quite slaves but not far off. Both great grandfathers received MBEs for service to the empire. My wife is the only one left in Africa all the rest are scattered throughout the world none of them for sure are labouring or clerking for a living. ( except for my wife). There are no slaves in the UK and if people don’t want to work in the fields it’s really their choice if people are comfortable they aren’t going to do the hard jobs. Those people will come from places where life isn’t so easy. [/QUOTE]
