Officials have launched renewed talks with Deliveroo, JustEat and UberEats after a week-long operation saw 60 moped riders held for illegal working. Most of them have now been detained pending removal from the country.
Ah, the 'immigrants who are vital to our economy' again, I see...
Follow-up searches uncovered two imitation guns, a machete and a telescopic baton, a Home Office spokesman said. Telescopic, or ‘friction-lock’, batons can be flicked out to use as a cosh, and are banned under offensive weapons laws.
The operation also found evidence that legitimate moped riders were sharing delivery jobs with acquaintances - usually by the WhatsApp messaging service - and allowing them to carry out the work, the spokesman added.
And what are the authorities doing to ensure these companies take steps to crack down on their employees?
‘We are in conversations with the delivery app companies to try to improve their engagement with the rules on carrying our right to work checks,’ the spokesman said.

It's hilarious watching the moped riders waiting to collect their take-away orders in 'restaurant alley', all disappear, leaving their 'L' plated mopeds behind, whenever a Police car drives slowly past them.
