Reflections of a stormy petrel

I have a problem myself, not with colour of any kind, but with how frequently I find the offices of British public organizations - ministries, local government, etc. - staffed by people who are obviously first-generation immigrants, often with poor English. Private employers, within limits of law, may of course employ whoever they think best, but one would expect the public matter to be handled by citizens and natives - whatever their colour. This not only because one does not like to see the state employing cheap labour to keep wages down - which is the only reason I can think of why there are so many first-generation immigrant clerks and employees - but because I feel there is some sort of issue with loyalty to the place and people. After all, the expression "civil service" is complementary to "military service" and means, not just any kind of commercial work, but something in the nature of a service to the country and the people.
