just about every face you see working on the London underground is black or asian..
The thing to bear in mind is that the often quoted apologist reason for there being a vast 'over-representation' of Third World faces in government jobs is because the 'locals won't take these menial jobs' ~ is utter, lying nonsense.
I know from personal experience.
Was told over a period of weeks by the old Centrelink when I was in my mid-20's that there were no vacancies for me. Stupidly I never booked up to be on the dole as I thought I would get a job within days. Weeks went by and I became desperate because my rent was draining my bank account dry.
So I went into the Sydney CBD to
pay a private job agency to get me a job. That was on a Thursday. On the following Monday I was put on the payroll of a huge manufacturing company
that had a queue waiting composed of Yugoslavs, Greeks, and other ethnic immigrants - several of whom later told me they had been sent there by the same government job agency that for weeks had told me there were no jobs going.
To top it off, the Employment officer at the company blew his top when he saw my name wasn't Yugoslav, Greek or whatever. Red-faced, he said
"WHO sent you here?!" I'll never forget how angry the guy was. That really shocked me. He was
emotional about me having slipped through the filter. Maybe this cost him a 'bonus' of some sort delivered in a brown envelope.
That's when I realised the Australian government was - and probably still is - in cahoots with certain big companies to deceitfully side-line anyone with an Anglo or Celtic name in favour of giving ethnics the jobs going vacant.
If you think of it, this deceitful practice was, and is, a huge and
criminal betrayal of the local unemployed among the dinki di community whose parents and grandparents may have died in wars to defend this Aussie homeland.
And then there was the practice of wholesale nepotism being sponsored by this company I joined. While Aussies were being turned away from the gate with assurances there was no work available - 'cousins', uncles, in-laws, fathers et al
who were still living in Turkey, Lebanon, etc - were having job vacancies
reserved for them by 'nudge-and-a-wink' agreements with the management for the nephews, cousins, et al who were applying on their behalf.
It was farcical.
"Sorry, Wayne, no job vacancies as yet. Give us your phone number and we'll contact you when one comes up".... with meanwhile
Mustafa over there in Denizli or Adana was shopping for a Travelling Bag and a change of underwear for his trip to Australia ....
There should have been a Royal Commission to investigate how for
years the government employment agencies in cahoots with the big companies rorted the generational Australians out of their birthright to be given employment when vacancies became available on the basis of first-come-first-served.
