So lets say that a business has 15 all white local workers and the business wants to hire a 16th worker and 23 people go for the job, lets say that there are 9 foreigners out of the 23 and the boss chooses the best man for the job but he happens to be a white local lad as his 16th worker. This means that the 9 people of foreign decent can then take the business to tribunal for discrimination and they will have to justify their selection. Farage is only saying that cannot be right can it? Or does he have to hire a foreign worker that is not as good as the local lad just so he does not get taken to court for discrimination.
A huge dollop of scaremongering there by you and Farage. What you say is substantively not true. The law is in place as much to protect employers from false accusations as workers from discrimination.* In reality its about companies having their policy and processes documented and in place. Acas will not move a case forward, or a job candidate wont win a case, for the simple reason they are on the discriminated list and did not get the job. Employers are well protected by the law.

This is more evidence that Farage and ERG have a bigger agenda to dilute workers rights (employment law, health and safety at work and minimum wage) to make the UK a low cost deregulated market. Leaving the EU opens us up to this change.
