Whenever there are campaigns against people trafficking (very laudable and necessary during the Olympics and at all times), please also bear in  mind the fact that those whose images and modelling in this country 'advertise' said 'lifestyle' for them mainly are:

1) Uk citizesn or naturalised
2) Have national insurance numbers and pay income tax
3) Have a trade body, something called teh collective
4) Live ordinary lives under teh law and declare their earnings
5) If students, pay NI at the part time or self employed rate to ensure that they have state support.

All of which means that:
1) The people being trafficked don't have this or other rights unless assisted by teh voluntary sector
2) Their housing is badly paid for or dependant on housing benefit or charitable claims
3) In this recession the average donation against people trafficking is going to be low for charities and any concerns should be emailed to the Child online and exploitation ctte, the internet watch foundation and the press complaints commission re adverts as well as the national crime squad and Met police vice squad.
