I went in a Poundland shop in South London today and not one of the 'assistants' were English. Mind you I was probably the only Englishman in the place

How do you know? Did you see the passports of all the staff and all the other customers?

Really? Are you seriously saying that a major High Street chain employs front line staff who can't speak to their customers.?

 

If British people applied for vacancies at Lidl, Poundland or any other store, they would, if qualified, get them; they certainly would have as much chance as any EEA national.

Discrimination in employment on the grounds of nationality is a crime; except for certain government jobs such as Border Force officers who have to be British.

 

If @nontabury's mythical Polish women does exists and is doing what he claims then she is breaking the law and should be reported.

When were you last in the UK!

I live here; and my work takes me all over. In March I have for work visited Hull, Leeds, Sheffield, Blackpool, Morecombe, Leicester, Kettering, Middlesbrough, Lymington, Watford, Lewisham. Greenwich and more.  

 

How about you?

 

In all those places I visited many supermarkets, not just because that's part of what my job entails, but also for buying sarnies for lunch. Contrary to your claimed experience, every staff member I spoke to could speak English!

Next time you're in London let me know.

 

I'll bet you 100 quid I can take you into a Poundland shop where one of the staff will reply 'No speak English' or words to that effect when you try to speak to her. While you're at it you can ask to see all the relevant passports yourself at the same time

 

Then we'll visit a building site and you can ask if you can get a start as a  general labourer. Get one and I'll give you 100 quid. Fail and you give me 100 quid.

If you knew anything about the building trade you would know that simply turning up at a site and asking for a job would get you nowhere. For starters you would need PPE and while a CSCS card is not a legal requirement, you are very unlikely to get a job on any but the smallest of sites without one.

 

I do visit sites for work from time to time so do have the all required PPE; but my CSCS card is as a site visitor, so I would not be able to work onsite as a labourer; or in any other capacity.

 

See here for what is required to obtain a CSCS card as a labourer.

 

But, as with @nontabury's mythical Polish woman, with the exception of HMG in certain circumstances, any employer, including building sites or supermarkets, who discriminates on, among other things, nationality and so refuses to employ British workers is breaking the law and should be reported if known about.

Added link to details of CSCS card for labourers.

A little bit of research shows that for the UK as a whole between 2014 and 2016 (the latest figures I can find) 90% of workers in construction were British, 7% were other EU nationals, including Irish, and 3% were from elsewhere (Source)

 

The figures vary, and in London about 28% are EU nationals, including Irish.

 

But this is down to skills shortages in the indigenous, local labour market rather than a deliberate plot by employers to favour EU nationals over Brits. Which would, of course, be illegal.

Whilst I am for the UK remaining within the EU I can not forgive them for stopping the UK from using newspapers to wrap fish and chips. The Guardian was always one of the better quality newspapers for that purpose, it certainly never was a quality newspaper for news.

Not even Jocks say ya hoose. I was married to a Geordie for a while so I learnt a bit of their lingo and even they don't pronounce 'your' as 'ya'.

 

The few Cockneys that are left certainly do not, West Country cider suppers and East Anglian turnip bashers don't. Neither do the Irish, North Americans nor the Anzacs.

 

Some of us might say 'Sell your house' where it might be pronounced and spelled as 'yer' as in 'Sell yer 'ouse' but not pronounced nor spelled as 'ya' unless you live in some strange remote community with a dialect most people are unfamiliar with.

 

Anyway we now know that in future when you use the word 'ya' it should be translated into English as 'your'.

Requiring certain skills, such as fluency in a specific language, in order to qualify for a job is not illegal; provided the employer can, if required, show that those skills are necessary for the job.

In viney41 post,he gave some examples of employers requiring Polish workers, no mention of Polish speakers.

 

Now, I do know you have never lived in Thailand, if you had, you would  know that the Thais ALWAYS give preference to their fellow citizens.

 This was something I personally never had an issue with during my 20yrs in Thailand, in fact I admire the Thias for many reasons,(and yes I know the country has many problems,) though this was part of their culture that I do admire.They also at one time had a political party called Thai RAK Thai, meaning Thai Loves Thai. Perhaps you could form a political party in the UK called Brits HATE Brits.

Not immediately. NI backstop permitting.

 

Leave the single market,

Yes. Very difficult for British companies to sell their goods in Europe (50% of the market) post Brexit. 

 

Leave the freedom of movement directive,

Not immediately, several clauses attached to that.

 

Leave the common agricultural policy,

Yes. Wealthy farmers have received many millions I subsidies from the CAP. Those susidies will be taken over by the government. Another drain on the£350 million/week that we won't be paying the EU. By the time that all the maggots have had their nibble, there'll be nothing left.

 

Leave the common fisheries policy,

Yes. Expect a new cod war (we lost the last one)

 

Leave the jurisdiction of the ECJ.

Not immediately.

That’s the problem, it’s not the implementation of the People’s Democratic vote. It’s not actually leaving the E.U.
