![]() "Richard J." wrote in message ... This is just typical of the situtation in London these days - people with no connection to the capital whatsoever are being offered jobs, and relocating here, and indiginous Londoners are forced further and further out to find work. It makes no sense at all. Hmm, nice welcome to our visitor. Are you suggesting that the recruitment process was biased against Londoners? If so, on what evidence? Well, for a start, the skillset of the inactive potential workforce in London is entirely incompatible with most of the jobs that are available in the capital, so it might not have been sensible to base the roles in London in the first place, given the overcrowding of our infrastructure. London suffers, because the poverty gap within the capital widens, and the rest of the country suffers because their most talented people all end up in London. Go to just about any office in London, and you'll find a ragbag of regional accents, while unemployment (or economic inactivity) in the inner London boroughs is sky high. This problem is *far* worse than any scaremongering about asylum seekers. Sorry, what exactly is the problem? That some people outside London have had the courage and initiative to move in order to find suitable employment? Did I have courage and initiative when I moved to take my job then? Of course not - At a time when I needed a job, I went out and got one, and took all the **** that goes with it. Gave me a nice chip on my shoulder too. And, yes, Bank to Hangar Lane is perfectly safe at any time, and is a very easy commute. Single journey on the central line. Not ****ing bus-tube-tube-intercity-cab like *my* journey into work. Your choice, presumably. Still, you've apparently got a job that enables you to take time off to access this NG, so it's not that bad. No, it's a pretty good job. Just very irritating that I had to move out of London for it when there are ****loads of similar roles in London going to non-Londoners. Including, I suspect, people from around here. BTN |
