Are Dark Kitchens the Satanic Mills of Our Era?
9th October 2018
A columnist for The Guardian burnishes his proglodyte credentials by rooting out victims.
A report last year by my Guardian colleague Sarah Butler focused on a dark kitchen site near Canary Wharf in London, and vividly evoked what went on there: “The boxes have no windows and many of the chefs work with the doors open … Working in the metal boxes is either hot or cold, depending on the weather and whether they are cooking or prepping. In one kitchen, there is only a small fan heater for cold days. Another houses a pizza oven that takes up more than a third of the space and makes it extremely hot.” Online ads for jobs in such places offer hourly wages of between £8.50 and £9, and roles best suited to people who are “reliable”, “hard working”, and have “two years’ experience in [a] fast paced kitchen”.
What’s up with these people, working for a living when they’re supposed to be drawing the dole like the rest of the proletarian underclass? We have to get out there and get them woke!
For progs, it’s always 1844, and they’re always lining up to see who gets to play Dickens this week.
