That's a pretty clever way of getting decent workers.

It's probably ironic that most of the people complaining they can't get this type of job voted Labour.

I bet most Brits wouldn't do most of the jobs in the meat industry.

Some good old newspaper story editing there, technically it's "No job unless you can speak Polish" which isn't exactly the same.

"The company claimed it was necessary as all health and safety training was conducted in Polish."

But surely, they should pay to have it translated into several languages including Urdu and Cantonese Chinese. I will complain just to take the piss. wink

I bet they would if you made those on benefits work for them (those that can), rather than allowing them to watch TV all day long. You'd probably find them queuing at the door if they suddenly found they couldn't eat. wink
