Contractor loses out on his 'dream' £1,000-a-week IT role

He'd probably have more luck at Kings Cross. He may even be able to beat the two year rule if he can justify his journey to work as substantially different.

I don't think 2 inches apart is substantially different...

Last time he was down that way you half scratched his eyes out. When he tried to reclaim the plasters and antiseptic cream, HMRC said that just because it was another girl's patch didn't make it a substantially different place of work.

Give it a try and I'll let you know.

On the other hand if the recruiter had specified that the job was meant for Poles only, they'd have got away with it:

Requiring that somebody be fluent in a certain language isn't the same thing as requiring that they be of a certain nationality

Do you assume that all jobs that require a good knowledge of French are only given to French people?

There's an oncologist I know in Basel, originally from Nigeria who speaks fluent Polish.

must have been a crap role for £1k a week

Perhaps it was a bad dream.

Obviously, the agent made a cock-up, which meant C.Hunt didn't actually have the contract, and she needed to cast around for a reason to turn him down. He should sue for defamation of character. Though telling Reed to sod off should undo any damage they managed to do through being slanderous. Alledgedly.

Possible, under communism, and now under EU occupation we welcome all sorts of students from developing countries. You will meet here Nigerians, Koreans (all named Nguyen for some reason), Iraqis.

Lucky guy this Nigerian. If he were Polish he would be expected to clean your toilets rather than work in his profession.

1. When I was looking for job in Poland which was just being devastated by predatory privatization, all job adverts required knowledge of English. We did not make a fuss out of it despite of 40% unemployment caused by this destruction, perhaps we should have.

2. Have you seen this? Both English and polish language. Afternoon shift £7 per hour.

Oh ok that obviously is aimed at British people then:
