> The government will meet food delivery companies for talks next week after reports that some asylum seekers are working illegally as couriers within hours of arriving in the UK.
Should we tell them about Turkish barbers, fried chicken shops, and hand car washes as well? They’ll be so shocked their eyes will pop out.
The video that sparked off this story showed delivery drivers operating out of a migrant hotel while _security guards_ milled around aimlessly. The government need to be having a word with their security contractors, and the home office, and the police. The activity was so brazen that it’s scandalous (and implausible ) if the authorities didn’t know and even more scandalous if they did know and did nothing.
As with the migrants crisis in general a big part of the problem seems to be a lack of willing to actually do anything about it.
Everyone and their dog knows this is the crux of the matter.
There is series of sectors like fishing and farming, with employers that take the piss, and blatantly hire people to work when they know they have illegal status.
The gig economy has magnified this problem ten fold, partly by making it so easy to sign up for work, or get a middleman to pretend to be you, partly by it being more attractive than sweating it out in farmers field, and living in a static caravan with five other people.
At least with farming in farmers defence eliminating illegal labor is hard and complex, since it has been endemic the world over for so long, and the end result cheaper basic food stuffs, the practise has at least some justification.
There is no defence in allowing it, for slightly cheaper takeaways, to enrich predominantly American App owners, at enormous expense to the British state.
Illegal delivery riders, multiple empty barbers in the same stretch of High St, cash-only chicken fast food eateries, license-sharing taxi-cabs, non-homeless Big Issue sellers dropped off in Mercedes people-carriers, vape shops now selling illegal items.
We all see it, day in day out. We all know it’s bent as fvck. And the government & police will do sweet Fanny Adams while the rest of us pay our taxes and abide by the social contract.
That’s half the issue. Why not also meet the hotels and end any agreement for breach of contract and not wait 4 more years.
