Dulwich tandoori police raid

[El Pibe]

1/2 a mug per person is usually about right.

It is quite a skinny mug though.

I'm in the otta camp with added lozzyloz for utter mirthlessness.

[polla2256]

The whole argument is fundamentally flawed. Everyone knows underpants go in the Balti not the Korma !!!

So stop arguing and check your facts please ppl.

[DJKillaQueen]

UncleBen, it's not comment in itself that's the problem it's content. Do you really need me to explain the conotations of your comment and how they link to the status of those they are directed at? Would you for example make the same coment about the staff at Franklins? No you wouldn't. You made that comment because they are illegal migrants...the insinuation being that they are dirty and unhygenic. That IS offensive. And it's also not hard to see why some would go further and accuse you of racism (which I haven't by the way).

Good day to you all

At Dulwich Tandoori last night at about 7.30pm we were subject to a random UKBA visit/check. As a result three members of staff were detained and taken away for further checks. Subsequently of the three detained 2 were released and 1 has been detained.

Thankfully we at the Dulwich Tandoori took all the required steps to check our staff's backgrounds and have not fallen foul of UKBA rules or regulations.

Though there is only so much we can do, i urge all my fellow traders to take out stringent checks on their staff or risk fines.

What El-Pibe (Loz and Otta) said.

[Otta]

Glad to hear the business won't be getting stung with any big fines. I feel for the workers, it must be awful living in that kind of fear of being taken from your workplace in handcuffs!

[Dulwich Tandoori .]

it must be terrible to be taken by handcuffs from your work place however as for the business it is just as terrible to be lied to and to be given fraudulent documentation, you think you know someone by the name you have been given and supported by there paper work, you than realise there actually someone totally different, you than start to question who and what to believe, but ive subsequently learnt that all paper work can be verified and checked via disclosure scotland and they well advise and verify all applications, We are one of three businesses and are now checking all staff details via disclosure scotland and urge all business that may employ immigrants to do the same, its a lengthy and awkward process but hey, its the world we live in. Thank you

Don't blame UncleBen

With this heatwave I expect he just woke-up confused, thinking it was 1976.

[El Pibe]

Judging by his posting history I think he may have made the schoolboy error of placing the right side of his bed up against a wall, forcing him to get out of the wrong side every day.

[*Bob*]

Ironically this looks to have been a rare but ill-advised venture into lighthearted banter.. With use of an exclamation mark and everything!!!!!

[Mick Mac]

Dulwich Tandoori are notably remaining silent on the underpants flavoured curry. Oh dear.

[UncleBen]

DJKQ has summed v nicely what is wrong here. Cheers DJKQ, keep on saving the wild life-if you happen to know about it :-)

[Anastasia Langford]

And I guess that = 'A Tax Fiddle'!!

"constantly rips into Cherry Tree and now Mag".

WTF?

And for the record, I too thought your "joke" about illegal immigrants' underpants was both racist and offensive.

Glad to see Dulwich Tandoori posting on here and giving such detailed background.

[Dog duck]

...not sure about underpants in Balti's and Korma's? I had a very nice Chicken tarka masala the other day. It's like a Chicken tikka masala, but a bit 'otter

[DulwichFox]

What UncleBen wrote was technically not Racist...

He did not mention any Race, Creed, Colour...

racist - a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others..

His comments though were extremely offensive.. and does not belong here on EDF.

DulwichFox

[KidKruger]

Creed had sort of already been established by the context of the thread, Indian sub-continent/Bangladeshi.

[DulwichFox]

It is not racist to just mention a persons Race, Creed, Colour...

It is only Racist if one suggests a person or nation is inferior because of their Race, Creed, Colour...

Certainly do not wish to defend UncleBen's comments but we all need to be careful what we accuse people off.

DulwichFox

[DJKillaQueen]

I think that the undertones can be accepted as racist though Fox. Would Uncleben make such a comment about white migrants for example? So whilst not making the accusation of racism myself I do accept that his comment can be seen as such. He thinks the staff in an Indian restaurant are unhygenic and to be made fun of. The only question is why. In answering that, there is no ambiguity for me, it's because they are of a different ethnic origin and nationality.

[KidKruger]

Actually Fox, it's also racist to suggest that a person's creed makes them superior, too. It's the distinguishing bt race / creed, you see.

[Administrator]

Lordy, will someone please make a comment regarding Hitler so I can impose Godwin's Law and remove this post.

[SCSB79]

Racist? Are you lot for fu*king real?

The joke was crap, must try harder. But racist??? Take the definition and show me where in the post it became "racist".

Some people on here just live for being offended and it's pathetic.

I can just see a number of people on here being the 1 one complained about this...

[El Pibe]

Ooh, here comes the goose stepping Admin crushing free speech 'neath his technological jackboots, 'help help I'm being oppressd etc'

*how was that?*

[KidKruger]

Hitler is (was) sexy.

[Otta]

This is absolutely ridiculous. On many an occasion Uncleben posts utter shite. On this occasion he posted a silly and not particularly funny joke, but it is DJKQ who has decided what was meant by it. A lot of assumptions have been made about intent which are completely unproveable, so lets just let it go.
