Racism In Reverse? British IT Firm Prefers Indians!
The ad on www.jobsite.co.uk read: Minimum six years of experience in IT... The person should be a UK citizen with security clearance from the UK Government. Preferably of Indian origin. It was for a Bristol-based job, carrying a salary of Ģ38,000.
Welsh MP David Davies fumed, Im outraged by this advert. It is quite clearly racist, in my opinion. I have reported it to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission in the hope for once that they might take action against something that discriminates against most British people.
Mr Davies said: I call on the Equality and Human Rights Commission to show some resolute action in dealing with cases of anti-British discrimination.
IT consultant Vince Silva, who alerted the MP to the advert, said: I have never seen a recruitment advert like this before, and think it is appalling that job applicants could be discriminated against in this way.
It raises a wider question about the way in which some big companies in Britain are bringing in IT workers from abroad instead of recruiting them here.
Both the UK Government and the Welsh Assembly Government are investing a lot in educating young people in IT skills at schools and colleges. Yet the number of job opportunities are limited because big firms are choosing to recruit trained workers from countries like India. We all know that times are tough in the recession, and surely we should be doing more to help our own people.

Full circle indeed: corrupt politicians take bribes to create legal loopholes to allow cheap labour from outside EEC. The poor chaps from India only take advantage of the opportunity, the real culprits are the big businesses saving millions using cheap labour and the thieves in Westminster making it possible. The Indians hit the British economy twice: they take jobs from the British [so much for "British jobs for the British" big lie !] and they do NOT spend in this country more than they absolutely have to. All this is well know, yet nothing is done. The thieves in Westminster will not give up, unless forced to. Strictly speaking it is treason and sabotage and death penalty should be applied for deliberately ruining the country for personal, financial gain. Vide Blair ! We need a dictatorship if England is to be England again, not Englistan as it is now !
