- Article is new enough, long enough and written in a suitably encyclopedic way with copious inline references. The text is original. This is a BLP about a sometimes controversial figure but the article is carefully worded. QPQ done. I don't like ALT1 because future predictions can be upset ("life comes at you fast") but the first hook is a definite fact, interesting, and cited appropriately in the article. I worry that people reading quickly might get the impression the Co-operative Group employs people who are in modern slavery, rather than people who have escaped it. It would be a wrong reading, but I want to be certain that this misunderstanding won't happen. Could we have a variation of the hook that refers to "former victims" or "escapees"?
