The post you are reporting:
Keith, it is amazing that some politicians or directors of sorts will actually get away with implying that jobs will go mainly to Britons, or to local people, whichever project they are talking about.
By law, jobs in Britain in the private sector can go to whomsoever is entitled, including any EU citizen.
If any authority were to actively recruit local people and not non-British people, they would probably - certainly - be breaking the Law and committing discrimination.
To actively turn down a non-British worker who is entitled to work in Britain, on account of their not being British, would be discrimination.
To look for workers directly in another country via agencies or advertisements, is also legal, providing they are entitled o work in Britain.
The EU laws on employment in Britain could only be changed if we left the EU.
Until such time, absolutely nothing can be done about it.
But it is reproachful when some authority or another tries to make believe they will employ largely local people, giving the impression they will employ local British people. By Law they can't, so they are only hoodwinking us.
