Is Nigel Cutting Through The Crap?

If it wasn't for immigrants then all the shiity low paid jobs wouldn't get done and then where would we be?
And for the record Poles are very hardworking in my experience.

A pillock of the first order.
Other opinions are available of course.

That's just a myth. I haven't met a single foreign person this month. My binmen are British, my (window) gardener is British, my maid is British and so is my driver.

I employ staff. I choose the best person for the job regardless of race, religion or football team. But if I can't decide between two candidates and one isn't English, the English person would get the job.

That's not discrimination, it's simply common sense.

The point of anti-discrimination laws isn't to avoid hiring English people.

Actually, discrimination is exactly what it is in the eyes of the law.

You could only legally pull that stunt if English people were under-represented in your labour force and it became deemed that being English was suddenly "a protected characteristic" in your place of business.

Clearly, the certificate you received for being Preston Business Woman of The Year isn't worth the paper it's printed (or more likely photocopied) on.

Next!

Mark Littlewood, director general of the Institute of Economic Affairs, says he doesn't find the proposition that a British business should have the ability to discriminate in favour of British workers a difficult one.

He says as British society becomes "a more civilised, less sexist, less racist country, we do need a conversation about how necessary some of the legislation we have in place is".

He adds he doesn't believe it is the law that has changed attitudes on sexual relations and race but rather that society has become "much more cosmopolitan". He says racism in the jobs market "is considerably less of a problem than it once was. I'm not saying there is no racism or sexism but the trajectory in which it is going is the right one".

"We need to have a sensible policy debate… and I'm grateful to Nigel Farage for opening up that debate," he says.

You can't experience life by reading about it. You need to get out more.
