Amazed they were allowed to call them 'staff' to be honest.

Team members, colleagues or co-workers would imply less subservience.

Immigrants dont have to sign on they just get benefits paid into the bank

The logical extension of this is that you can make no demands on the skills and abilities of potential applicants.

"Wanted - Air Traffic controllers. Ability to work under pressure not essential, nor is the ability to talk to planes in English, or indeed talk at all. Understanding of international aviation law an advantage but not required.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community, including the dead."

Immigrants from Kosovo used to get free leather jackets and brylcreem. Not sure what they give out now. I think it's only Sandals.

The bird who owns the agency that placed the advert didn't say how much SHE got paid for the person she supplies at £5-80 per hour.

I bet she's getting at least £10 per hour for it.

Thieving cvnts, all of them.
