An unlikely squad of former policemen and soldiers working for the charity Hope For Justice – whose mission is to end human trafficking – had uncovered their plight.
And after weeks of detective work and meticulous planning, they were determined to free them.
Reading that you would think the daring operation of freeing these alleged slaves was happening in Afghanistan not Yorkshire ...
//The police, who were kept fully informed by the charity//
Why were the police leaving it to a charity?

Supply and demand, Talbot. The public want cheap goods and are seldom much bothered about why they're cheap. Just how is it that (for example) Primark's T shirts are half the price of everyone else's? There may be a perfectly good reason - but let's not kid ourselves that the great buying public could care less.
But jno is blaming the customer.
I bought a new bed only yesterday as it happens. If I had reason to believe it had been made by slave labour in Dewsbury do you really think I would have bought it? Do you really think average Joe Public would buy it?
It is not up to the public to investigate this sort of thing before they buy a product.

It isn't reasonable to put responsibility on the buyer to investigate possible immoral activity of a seller. The buyer isn't normally going to be the police. It's the forces of the law who should investigate wrongdoing.
The more one opens one's borders the easier it is to get people and things in across the border. It just makes life easier for the cross nation wrongdoer. And also for the global merchant that has no loyalty to your country and whose only aim is profit regardless how they make it.

Interesting to note that this multi slave boss was only sentenced to two years and three months,
/// He was sentenced to two years and three months in jail. ///
Yet this man who held one slave captive only received a sentence of four and half years.
/// His captor, horse dealer David Doran, from a traveller background, was sentenced to four and half years in jail after pleading guilty to forcing Darrell to perform forced labour. ///

The influx of cheap labour from the EU has kept wages low, and introduced a lot of vunerable people who are ripe for exploitation.
And agricultural workers are now mainly cheaply paid foreigners because British people won't work in those conditions for such low wages. Our food bill would rise considerably without them.
As far as slavery goes, British retailers have long supported slavery when they source their goods. Unsafe sweat shops in Bangladesh, or child labour making sportswear for pennies a day, we have long exploited our poorer foreign workers.

As much as you always like to blame the British, other countries are not adverse at exploiting poorer foreign workers.
And the fact, however unpleasant it may seem, without this exploitation these foreign workers would be unable to earn their living.

a) I did not claim it was only British retailers exploiting the poor. I am aware that other countries also do it. Your question was about Britain which is why my answer was about Britain.
b) Without exploitation slave workers would be out of a job is a dubious claim, and also seems to condradict your indignation in the OP.

The first part of your statement specifically mentioned British retailers.
/// As far as slavery goes, British retailers have long supported slavery when they source their goods. ///
The second part referred to Bangladeshi sweat shops.
/// Unsafe sweat shops in Bangladesh, or child labour making sportswear for pennies a day, we have long exploited our poorer foreign workers. ///
We in this country have certain laws regarding running sweat shops, as this case has proven.
