As we keep repeating the only people more stupid than these are the rethugs right here in the numero uno for stupid USA. But we're better because we are cantering ever more rapidly to force people to work in the restaurants for negligible no pay at gunpoint so we can eat w/o cooking and washing dishes. They have entirely forgotten that the restaurants have long run on cheating immigrants, and they were labor short already, with tRump's closing of borders, deportation, etc. So what is left but literally coercing labor like they did in the good old days with servers mass forced to bring us beer by violence.

I think the Poles are a bit more acceptable, because they basically look like us and fix things for cheap. The real danger, according to Farage, was the Albanians and Romanians, who were going to move in next door and put donkeys in their front gardens.

Not sure barstaff at shitterspoons are exactly the highly qualified immigrants we were told the government wanted. Might as well have kept the original freedom of movement since there were already controls that the government just couldnt be arsed to enforce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spockydog Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Meghan and Harry are so full of shit. There is no such thing as institutional racism in the royal family. Oh no. Definitely not. Nothing to see here, move along. Buckingham Palace banned ethnic minorities from office roles, papers reveal Quote The Queen’s courtiers banned “coloured immigrants or foreigners” from serving in clerical roles in the royal household until at least the late 1960s, according to newly discovered documents that will reignite the debate over the British royal family and race. The documents also shed light on how Buckingham Palace negotiated controversial clauses – that remain in place to this day – exempting the Queen and her household from laws that prevent race and sex discrimination. The papers were discovered at the National Archives as part of the Guardian’s ongoing investigation into the royal family’s use of an arcane parliamentary procedure, known as Queen’s consent, to secretly influence the content of British laws. They reveal how in 1968, the Queen’s chief financial manager informed civil servants that “it was not, in fact, the practice to appoint coloured immigrants or foreigners” to clerical roles in the royal household, although they were permitted to work as domestic servants. It is unclear when the practice ended. Buckingham Palace refused to answer questions about the ban and when it was revoked. So, probably still in place today. This will likely not be reported anywhere other than the Guardian. Can you imagine the noise if the BBC was exposed for having such a policy?

Luzifer's right hand Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Is it wrong to enjoy watching documentaries about small business owners that voted for Brexit getting fucked by the new rules and regulations?
