A Bristol man has claimed he sends two job applications for each job - one with an English name and the other with his real name - and 90 per cent of the time the ‘English’ applicant will get a job interview.
The man, who said his real name was Ali, said it happened during numerous applications including with an unnamed local authority.
In a call to Eddie Mair’s LBC phone-in show following the claims of Islamophobia at the top of the Government, Ali said things had got so bad he was considering moving back to the country he escaped from as a refugee.
