UK State Green Energy Project Refuses to Rule Out Use of Slave Labour
Breitbart ^ | 19 May 2026 | Kurt Zindulka

The left-wing Labour Party government in Britain has refused to confirm that it is not using slave labour in its publicly owned green energy project, despite having passed a law last year committing to do so.

The push in the UK to eliminate the use of fossil fuels and replace them with supposedly cleaner forms of energy may be coming with a hefty human toll, with it being unclear if the state-funded Great British Energy (GBE) project is using forced labour in places like China to prop up its so-called renewable sector.

Following pressure from campaigners, after initially baulking at the idea of banning slavery from its key green initiative, the Labour government adopted legislation last year committing GB Energy to ensure its “supply chains are free of forced labour” as it seeks to build a “new energy infrastructure using ethical supply chains.”

However, this week, the government appeared to admit the reality that it is nearly impossible to guarantee that any large-scale purchases of solar panels and other green products are free from slave labour, given the dominance that Communist China has over the industry.

Communists always have used slave labor. The Soviet Union relied on slave labor to industrialize the country under Stalin.

If the Left had its way we would all be slaves, all that is except for the ruling oligarchy living in luxury.

Without a written Constitution and a Thirteenth Amendment (or the equivalent) slavery can be re-imposed at the slightest governmental whim.

Prisoners have always been required to work until recently. Break large rocks into gravel.
