 You go to a club and find you need a leak,sometimes you get more than you bargain for.

A toilet attendant trying to sell you a lollipop or after shave shot for a £1 after you have taken a leak.

On recent trip out with friends I came across what I thought was drug deal going down outside the toilets,so like a good reporter I looked and learned (a lot)

It wasn't at all about drugs,it was a guy who was starting work as a toilet attendant in a London bar/club

What made it so shady? He was being ripped off by a muscle bound boss because he only he was on a student visa and shouldn't have been working the long hours he was going to do.

Speaking to him after his boss left he told me somethings that I rang alarm bells in my head.

Here are some the facts he told me.

  • There is no union
  • Jobs come from word of mouth e.g cleaning companies
  • There are no criminal checks
  • The bosses set the rates
  • There are no immigration checks
  • You can make money selling other stuff

You may think there is nothing alarming there but if you had seen the man, he read exploitation at the highest level.

I would like to point out that on researching this story,  I know there are organized well run companies all over the world
