QuoteTV chef Jamie Oliver has said young British people are "wet behind the ears" and European immigrants are "tougher" workers.

The presenter, whose restaurants include the Jamie's Italian chain, said they would all have to close if there were no migrants to staff them.

"There wouldn't be any Brits to replace them," he said in an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine.

Young British people were not good at "long hours in hot kitchens", he said.

Oliver said that when he was in his 20s, it was normal for him to work 80 to 100 hours a week in the restaurant trade.

He added: "But the EU regulation now is 48 hours, which is half a week's work for me. And they still whinge about it!

"British kids particularly, I have never seen anything so wet behind the ears!

"I have mummies phoning up for 23-year-olds saying to me, 'My son is too tired.' On a 48-hour week! Are you having a laugh?"

EU working regs are actually 37.5 hours/week. It's actually little over a third of a weeks work for you, you hero of modern capitalism. It's because people don't want to work 80+ hour weeks, that why everything is in the shitter! It's so obvious! If only everyone pulled 100 hour weeks then poverty, AIDS and toothache will magically vanish.

Let's ignore the stacks of evidence proving that 40+ hour work weeks are highly detrimental to physical and mental health. No time for that here. Let's also ignore the fact that if many professions pushed 100+ hour weeks onto employees regularly, there would be utter carnage. Traffic accidents through over tiredness would shoot up and the fatalities from that alone would be impressive. Add in Hauliers carrying Fuel or chemicals and you've got some real spectacle. 

I suspect someone's just had to give an envelope to a journalist to get the story about his kitchens filled with illegal immigrants to go away.

ETA - The meaning of "Tougher" here seems to be "cheaper".

Further, the his work ethic claim is particularly stupid. 100 hour week = 20 hour days(2 days off) or 14 hour days (Working 7 days). Next stop, demands for workhouses to "toughen people up" Or in real words "Demoralise them to work for a pittance"
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

I think we may want to get ECH's take on this, as he's one of the only people on the board who professionally works in kitchens.

I'd be interested in ECH's take too. Just realised I'm currently operating under the (mistaken?) impression that kitchen staff work obscenely long hours  :eek:

Pat Robertson Suggests Gays With AIDS Wear Rings To Cut, Infect Others

Quote"You know what they do in San Francisco? Some in the gay community there, they want to get people. So if they got the stuff they'll have a ring, you shake hands and the ring's got a little thing where you cut your finger," he said. "Really. It's that kind of vicious stuff, which would be the equivalent of murder."

Not really a wingnut and I don't have a link, but the local news anchor guy on the radio this morning said this:

QuoteIt's been 50 years since Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Today, another gathering will be taking place at the Lincoln Memorial to commemorate that event. In a nod to the progress that America has made in Civil Rights, the final speaker today will be President Obonobo -- er.. Obama..."

Ok, not techically a "wingnut" -- technically, it's the fucking country.

New poll finds that 39 percent of Americans want government to 'stay out of Medicare.'

May I remind everyone that these people are eligible to vote?
