BBC News - Firms urged to hire UK unemployed not foreign workers


What's he smoking? I want some for the weekend.

[DimPrawn]

Reminds me of "A British job for every British worker".

First port of call, stop ALL work permits. That's right issue no work permits at all.

Then tell me there isn't someone in the whole of Europe that can fill the job.

If you ain't an EU citizen, bog off!

I am about to employ a homeless person ... I am looking for an Eastern European 25 year old bird with a good chassis and down on her luck . I don't think my Admin manager will agree

So what is the alternative chaps?

So what is the alternative chaps?

They need to approach the problem they way they have approached other recent crises. Take foot and mouth for example, that was dealt with very effectively.

I think she fits your criteria.

That one needs tailoring.

I'd leave the door open to Phd's and the like. There are many a story out there of the right people turned away, those vital to a niche technology driven markets.

Reminds me of the Buy British campaign of the 70s and/or 80s. We all know how that turned out.

"But businesses said migrants were often preferred because they had a better work ethic and skills than Britons"

How this shit: journalism is allowed to continue on the BBC is beyond me, no quote from a single business but businesses are quoted which is presented as fact.

"In a speech to the Spanish Foundation for Analysis and Social Studies in Madrid"

Yes, we have always trusted their analysis of the UK's home office policy.

"He is expected to say"

Writing an opinion now?

"political correspondent Iain Watson says that as well as delivering a blunt message to British employers, the speech would be aimed at the Lib Dems - some of whom had been critical of Conservative rhetoric on immigration"

I think so

There ain't no black in the Union Jack. Send them all home. British jobs for British people.

Well said Dim.
