Oh do jog on...it wasn't London I was dealing with it was the Home Office in Leeds for this particular project. It was in very sharp contrast to when I actually worked at the Home Office in the mid 2000's.

ensignia if you read I'm talking about much wider issues, youngsters starting out in their career the discrimination is real.
Do you actually read before starting with the insults
Moronic post, my concern is for the future generations as it is too late for us oldies...

Well that is the polar opposite to me and my family/friend's experiences...discrimination against whites is rife.
We have family up north and my nephew wanted to join West Yorkshire police earlier in the year and they blocked applications from white British to increase diversity/ethnicity...

Yes to all of this....as I've said earlier this is far wider felt than just in Tech, people can't get jobs starting with our youngsters.
Labour especially do not get the strength of feeling that there is.
Being discriminated against for being white is commonplace now you...

100% agree.
Starmer is a liar and has changed his mind multiple times there is a very long and ever growing list.
Labour's attitude is as you describe and the they do not care about their own people they want mass cheap labour to feather their own nests and support their own...

Wow to yourself!!
I am describing in simple terms to you that where you are born is not your ethnicity as you asked if they were British born or not.
The analogy I gave so you would understand in the simplest terms is that a dog, cat or llama can be born in a stable that...

Oh yes Starmer the "king of u turns" I give you...benefit cuts, the grooming gangs inquiry, winter fuel payment, NI, International aid, gender.
His word means nada he changes his mind like the wind.

Just watched an interview with a senior Indian minister in Mumbai talking about the UK as our PM is currently there and how the highest number of those leaving are now in the UK, how wonderful it is for Indians lifting themselves out of poverty and now middle class in the UK was his line.

Agree!
Just seen on the 1 o'clock news Starmer is in Mumbai i is an utter joke no doubt trying to bring more cheap workers over while the UK is on its knees...and getting worse by the day.
He's secured some Bollywood movies going to be made here next year.

I agree I've said this several times, allowing cheaper foreign labour in to undercut us is a big problem.
Other governments put their own citizens first but not here successive govts. want cheap labour and to hell with UK citizens it isn't just in IT.
We can't compete it isn't...

Yep Rachel Theives...the gift that just keeps giving....it is stacked against us finding work whereas other countries put their own citizens first for jobs but not here they don't give a fig.
