Green Slaves

A little slave labor is OK in the UK:

Prime Minsiter Sir Keir Starmer’s government whipped Labour MPs on Tuesday to vote against an amendment to prohibit the publicly owned GB Energy company from buying solar panels where there is “credible evidence” of the use of modern slavery, as is the case in the Communist China controlled area of Xinjiang, alternatively known as East Turkestan. Apparently considering the Net Zero green agenda to be a higher priority than the fate of millions of persecuted Uyghur minorities in China, not a single Labour MP broke with the government to vote for the amendment, which was ultimately voted down by a margin of 314 votes to 198, The Telegraph reported. The government said that rather than instituting a ban on solar panels produced by slaves, they would take some measures to limit the exposure of the British energy infrastructure to such practices, such as potentially creating a role within GB Energy to examine “ethical supply chains and modern slavery”.

Ethics are for little countries...
