Yes this is the Problem


They are illegal migrants
arriving by an illegal small boat from France.

I very rarely get food delivered, we usually collect take-away orders as we usually order take away when we're on the way home from somewhere and it's late and we're tired. There's only 2 places that will deliver to us anyway. Not sure how I would know whether the person delivering was legal or illegal but I can't say it would factor into my decision of whether to order or not :shrug:

No because I’m not weird and everyone deserves to make a living

It's not weird to have principles and let them make a living where they came from instead of taking jobs and paying zero tax and getting given everything for free. Stinks!

how would you know who is illegal?

No people are missing the point. You're boycotting the companies who have the policy of employing illegal migrants NOT the individual delivering. It's wrong of them and they know they can pay the illegal migrants less because they are milking it in lots of other ways!

So do they steal jobs or do they get everything for free? You can’t have it both way, if they’re here and working that means theyre earning a living and not being dependent, that should make people like you happy shouldn’t it?

Erm what?? Yes they DO both? Read this. They are flouting the law!


Initial Restriction:
Individuals who arrive in the UK via small boat crossings and claim asylum are not allowed to work while their asylum claim is being processed, which can take over a year.
Limited Permission to Work:
After a year, if their asylum claim is still pending, they may be granted permission to work in certain sectors where there are recognized labor shortages.
Designated Sectors:
The Home Office has specified certain sectors, such as care, construction, and agriculture, where migrants may be permitted to work.
Payment and Support:
If they are granted permission to work, they will be paid a reduced rate (80% of the going rate) and may be required to contribute to their accommodation costs.
Asylum Support:
While waiting for their claims to be processed, asylum seekers receive a weekly allowance and basic accommodation, and they may be required to contribute to the cost of this accommodation if they are working.
Not Automatic:
It's important to note that even after the initial year, permission to work is not guaranteed. It depends on the individual's circumstances and the specific rules and regulations in place at the time.

AND don't refer to me as "people like you".

if you boycot a company employing illegals, you are also boycotting people who are legally doing the work for the same company. I repeat, how would you know who is illegal. There may be 1 illegal to 1000 legitimate workers

Well it wont be too hard for the big three to come out and assure the Great British Public that they can confirm that they don't use any illegal migrant labour and then we will all know

:hee:

"Home Secretary Yvette Cooper commended the Sun's Campaign to shine a spotlight on this!!"

Don't make me bloody laugh Cooper. You were pictured welcoming illegal migrants with signposts!

It is a big problem with Just Eat and Uber Eats tbf - people sell their accounts to people who aren't allowed to be doing the job and take a cut of their income. The delivery guys fly around on e-bikes which are also usually illegal and really dangerous to other road users. They're also normally wearing face coverings because obviously their delivery account isn't actually under their own name

It's exploitative to the people involved who often won't be making minimum wage. I wouldn't order through these third parties anyway tbh because they take a massive cut from the restaurants. I'd place my order directly with them and normally collect it myself
