More like polly parrot.

I don't see why I would have to qualify that, it is interesting how people's prejudice so quickly took effect. Lots of reaction without any thought.

In fact I hire into a shortage occupation. There is no good reason why this is the case, just very bad planning for around 40 years.

And by the way, I am particularly strong at hiring young people, many of whom have had difficulties in their earlier life, and giving them a chance. You would expect nothing different from any qualified HR Director, nobody chooses to take the extra complexity of hiring overseas lightly. It takes 9 months for a start if it is non-EU.

Ah this gives me the opportunity to ask my question, although after hearing it on London news tv, it applies to Law students as well as youngsters with no qualifications.

Do you hire young people with the manufactured accent? I'm it sure if I would.

I don't think that is particularly fair.

We have a situation where we have plenty of employers with prejudices against British workers..... in their own bleeding country.

With this being the reality people had a right to take the statement at face value.

I am only finding Hyundais. A bit of help here please.

Really? I haven't come across any at all. If people are prepared to work for a given rate of pay then I haven't come across any employers that would be prejudiced against UK born people. Why would they? Is your implication that employers have less confidence in the work ethic of Brits for example?

It is true that some nationalities do seem prepared to work for minimum wage more readily than others. But I don't see how that is prejudice by employers, merely supply and demand.
