If you have ever worked long hard hours for a crap wage you would also be angry that this is being allowed to happen!!!

This sounds a bit like Daily Mail hype.
It is illegal to pay anyone below Nat Minimum Wage. As an employer I would not risk it at any cost. Although I can see that some industries (the rather less attractive one) may be desperate enough to try it and pay cash in hand at a rate below the set hourly rate.
