I don’t use delivery services

Yeah I've never ordered from any of those delivery services, well I've ordered through Just eat but for pick up but I stopped doing that because I realised how much of a cut they take from the restaurant

:joker: no tax paid for your bennies though

We hardly ever order takeaway now, as UK is just rip off, if we do order we collect it ourselves as its cheaper and quicker and the foods hot, not gone round the houses 10 times

ive never used any of these just eat etc delivery services, but aren't the people self employed? If someone legal registers their own name just eat and then sub contracts out to an illegal or 2, how will just eat know?

It's all done with photo id and face recognition software on the app.

Same. So disappointing when you’re excited for a T Way and it arrives cold. :mad:

Let’s face it, you’d boycott them even if they were legal.

I don't really boycott very easily.

Unless Ian Watkins from Lostprophets gets released from Prison imo.

Otherwise I can see your point tbf.

Or items stole-I mean "forgotten" about in the order.

I really couldn’t care less who’s delivering my food. If you want to throw a tantrum and boycott over someone’s immigration status, be my guest. Just don’t pretend you’re some principled crusader when all you’re actually doing is hurting the paychecks of countless other workers trying to scrape by. Enjoy your moral high horse while the rest of us eat dinner

In fact the more I think of it, I’ve never had my food delivered by an English speaking person.
British people seem to think work like that is beneath them, until it’s time to whinge about “foreigners taking all the jobs” they’d never dream of doing themselves.

"British people seem to think work like that is beneath them"

so just because every delivery driver is "foreign"

you decided that was the reason

wow!

It’s called an observation, not a manifesto. If you’ve got a more convincing explanation for why so many Brits refuse to do these jobs, by all means, enlighten us.

The reason these illegal immigrants are hired is because they are paid peanuts and if they are illegal they will get cash in hand to most likely top up the benefits they are getting...:shrug:

No they are working officially and not getting taxed yet the law says they can't do so.

My point is they are getting paid, getting away without paying any taxes, which any other employee has to pay and getting just about everything else under the sun given to them free.

They get the transportation paid for as well. And I sincerely doubt they need to do 12 hour shifts though I grant you our own workforce probably do. Nevertheless boycotting makes sense, it's not fair or just. It's the employers fault and the Governments.

So basically, you’re angry that desperate people with no legal right to work are being exploited for crap wages under the table, but also convinced they’re somehow living in luxury with “everything under the sun” handed to them. Which is it—are they destitute and desperate or living it up on your dime? Because you can’t have it both ways.

Sound like you’re more upset about the migrants than the actual company exploiting them.

Nope you're wrong. They aren't working for crap wages. I never said they were? I only said they'd work for less as they get topped up. I'm annoyed about both, and yes I can have it as my opinion. They are taking the piss, the companies are taking the piss and so is our Government.

Do you actually think it's right all these men coming here and getting to live in hotels, etc etc etc.

Apparently it is fine and dandy for employers to break the law because they are migrants, that is what I am reading, maybe I will stop paying my taxes, see how I fare with that one

You’re free to have whatever opinion you like, but let’s be honest—it’s still pretty contradictory. You’re annoyed they’re supposedly getting everything for free and working for less money, which kind of proves they’re not exactly living some five-star dream. And no, I don’t think putting people in budget hotels and giving them £9 a day counts as a life of luxury. If you’re angry, be angry at the system that keeps people stuck in limbo for years, not just the people trying to survive it.

Seems to me that some people think its ok to break the law if you are desperate...:smug:

Seems to me some people think it’s perfectly fine to rant about “law and order” when it suits them but have zero interest in the reasons people end up desperate in the first place. Funny how breaking the law is only outrageous when it’s poor migrants doing it, but everyone else gets a shrug and an excuse.

Poor migrants my arse. They are a damm sight better off than you acknowledge.
