A neighbour's mother has just had to pay a small fortune in legal fees and fines because she had brought illegals into this country from Pakistan and set them to work in her 3 restaurants. She is also being done for having 2 of her houses full of the same illegals (and more).

All said they could not speak English at all... and she said they didn't need to as they were "only here to cook". The very long hours they put in for illegal wages, minus "bed and board" of course, meant that they were either in the kitchen or in bed!

Many "English" second, third and fourth generation immigrants from the Indian sub-continent would love to work in these restaurants and takeaways I'm sure, but they could not survive on the rates of pay (below minimum wage) that the bosses insist on paying. My mate's mother used to fire staff regularly if they got "lazy", but they would just drift off to yet another curry house undercutting the present staff for both wages and working hours.

How many other restaurants in the UK could get away with only employing on such a very racist basis?
