Amber Rudd vows to stop migrants 'taking jobs British people could do' and force companies to reveal number of foreigners they employ

Businesses will be forced to reveal how many foreign staff they employ under Government plans to force companies to take on more British workers, the Home Secretary has said.

Amber Rudd used her speech at the Conservative Party conference to warn that foreign workers should not be able to "take the jobs that British people should do".

She revealed that companies could be forced to publish the proportion of "international" staff on their books in a move which would effectively "name and shame" businesses which are failing to take on British workers.

etc etc. etc.

I fear pattycakes and girlstar are right and the UK is full of Nazis.

[Bereta_Eder]

Not nazis.
Gays.
Don't get me wrong

[Bereta_Eder]

(and there's nothing wrong with that)

You have the equivalent of trump in gov (not elected en plus!) and an even more hilarious clown as foreign minister so everything is dandy and expected

[Ben Kenobi]

BRB buying up the Pound now that Dauphin is leaving.

What are you? Canadian or something?

There are no legal punishments so really it just amounts to naming and then grandstanding.

Come on. There are like 1000 different reasons of why this is wrong and you know it...
Besides, "forcing/shaming" companies to employ a specific type of people is not exactly free market...

Yeah, things are very confusing at the moment. After years of people calling the tories fascists and nazis, it's almost like they got sick of it and thought 'Well you know what? If you're going to call us nazis then we're going to BECOME nazis! Let's see how you like these apples!'.

Seriously, forcing companies to publish how many foreigners they have working for them? That's ****ed. I'm really glad I ****ed off to France when I did, although if they pursue this insane hard Brexit line they seem to be intent on, I might end up having to apply for political asylum.

Also I really thought the Eton clique taking over Westminster was an all time low for the country. Now like many others I find myself thinking back wistfully to the good old days when that nice Mr Cameron wasn't encouraging kristallnacht or planning for a new final solution.

But where will you go?

The lunatics are running the asylum in the antipodean colonies.

The rebels in the American colonies have a pair of lunatics contending for leadership.

There is an eerie inactivity in the forum so I feel obligd to point out that antipodian is not antilopian
While the latter refers to the sympathetic mamal the former is (yet again) a greek loan comes from anti and podi.
In plain text it's counter and foot. A justapostiction.
That might make australia a smelly foot? In any case it's too far away and has kangooroos and they make texans look sophisticated I'm told

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Nothing makes Texans look sophisticated.

[pchang]

Dauphin = Mark Carney???

On the contrary, it is indeed the free market. As long as there are no official penalties advocacy and making sure data is available to the public is very much a part of the free market.

Kangaroos are delicious.

You Greeks could turn them into "Kangaroo Yiros".
