Gamston Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I agree , it's not racist just common sense . I can't speak Welsh so I would never dream of applying for a job in Wales . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daven Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 People who do not speak fluent English will be barred from public sector jobs which involve working directly with the public, the government has said. I would be one of the first people to say dont let them in; but this seems rather OTT !!! A law that is not required? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33750709 This IS the Tories we are talking about. Why are you surprised ?

The Joker Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 fair point , but didn't we make the natives speak English anyway ? the ones we didn't kill off, yes. And now they operate our overseas call centres, taking all our jobs. As for Wales, I do speak a little Welsh. . . But I still wouldn't want to live or work there.

A law that is not required? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33750709 It seems a fair enough point, in fact it could be argued that it should be extended to ALL people working with the public, both the public AND private sectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Nothing to do with colour, no one has mentioned colour. If its common sense, a law is not needed, if you cannot get the right staff, I guess a good foreign working that is not 100% ok with English at the start, would be ok. The title mentions racists. Language and race are not synonymous (and neither is nationality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go to the wall employing the wrong person then that's their problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
