How utterly pointless!?

Does this mean if I go to get an Indian takeway, it has to be cooked by a Polish person?! Or some jamaican jerk chicken cooked by an Italian?

:chef:

What? So you no longer have your curry made by someone from India/Pakistan/Bangladesh?

EDIT: Quick edit to change 'made from' to 'made by' oops :p

I think you have completely misinterpreted the whole article!

I thought that was what folks were asking for? ergo more jobs for our own here...what's the problem? :confused:

Mind, the lazy scrongers who bleat on about how "there are no jobs left for them" might start sweating buckets(no not from working )... as no doubt , they'd work out soon enough, they'd have to find another reason or excuse :p

Well yeah, there was a guy on the news a while ago who has a butternut squash farm, he HAS TO employ EVAL FORRINS to pick his crop as the locals weren't interested.

They even went to the Jobcentre and asked the chavs and they all said there was no f***ing way they'd go to some b***rd farm to pick f***ing fruit and veg.

Well you cant complain about them "coming over here, taking our jobs" if they are not allowed to can you.

G, don't think I've read it wrong...

Migrants from outside the European Economic Area will no longer be allowed to work in the UK as chefs in takeaway restaurants, the government has said.

Not wanting to get flamed here, but I really dont see the problem with having an indian takeway cooked by an indian. I know it wouldn't make a difference if someone else had been properly trained etc. etc. and everyone should be given a job on their own merits, but I'd rather not have greasy Frank from round the corner given the job of trying to make me a curry just because the government say so.

Exactly. They considered being a veg picker to be beneath them.

I wonder if the reason that they specify takeaways is to stop the flow of migrants willing to work in local takeaways as a step for residency? In our high street we had more curry houses and afro hair shops than estate agents and banks at one point.

Almost certainly has something to do with it... from the link:

A similar ban will apply to workers such as hairdressers, beauty salon managers and estate agents from April.
