'It just seems really wrong'. Writer and investigative journalist David Shipley criticises department store Selfridges for funding training programmes for illegal migrants, at a time when Britain's youth unemployment sits at a record high.

They won’t invest in our kids I won’t invest in their store

Selfridges used to be one of Britain's premier department stores but not anymore. These retailers are the cause of their own demise. I will never set foot in that store again. They can train illegal immigrants but not our own children (of all ethnic backgrounds) disgusting.

UNBELIEVABLE when will British citizens take priority in their own f**king country! @andyburnham @UKLabour @Selfridges

Youth unemployment at a record high and Selfridges is bankrolling training for people who broke in. Priorities are completely backwards.

The kids are struggling to even get unpaid volunteer work to gain experience. This is so wrong!

Yet another to add to my “traitors” list to be growing quite long.I will not buy from anyone who’s aided the invasion by feral criminals and who pose a threat to my my small protest to protect my grandchildren. My opinion

It’s not about training them for employment. It’s a PR exercise in branding them as a Holy and Sacred Keeper of the Virtue. Training British youth doesn’t achieve this.

This is morally wrong when there are approximately 135,000 young British people aged between 16 to 24 currently unemployed in London. Which represents a youth unemployment rate of 24.6%. Official data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and London City Hall confirms.

Absolute insult. Labour and the big chains keep prioritising the ones who shouldn’t even be here.

This boils my blood. My 18 year old son has top grade A Levels and retail experience and is struggling to get a job.

I won't be shopping there again. I am disgusted.

They're illegal! The only training they should be doing is hard labour in a work camp, surrounded by arm guards until they eventually self-deport.

They need to integrate Reform scream Oh wait a minute we can't have that let's attack a scheme that helps them integrate

Available stats on the economic impact of immigrants in Europe. Conclusions? Certain nationalities are a MASSIVE drain on our economy. MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW.

@donnyfarmshop Training programs for illegal migrants?!?! Please tell me that isn’t true

Three people have been stabbed at the Westchester Community College campus at 75 Grasslands Road in Valhalla, New York. One of the three victims is in critical condition. Two suspects are in custody; one male and one female. Police are investigating.

Wonder if that’s govt funded ?

Boycott Selfridges….this is a fucking disgrace

Saw three women sitting on the curb outside a coffee shop on Saturday on Oxford Street in their burkhas. I realised they were on lunch break from Selfridges because if you buy make up in Selfridges, high chance you'll be dealing with a woman who choses to wear a burkha.

EVERY SINGLE TIME. Societal suicide.

Illegal FFS!

Time to boycott businesses who turn their backs on our young people while helping other groups. Whose big idea was this? Somebody who has already moved on to another job. Probably setting up another training scheme as we speak. Goodbye Selfridges. 😡😡😡

Not ollegal migrants but legal asylum seekers- more lies

Boycott them and Sainsbury’s too

😝

What may be of relevance here in the ownership of Selfridges is Thai/ Saudi 60/40%...

With youth unemployment a significant issue, questions about access to training, employment opportunities, and the priorities of private companies are understandably part of the wider discussion.

they probably like yo Mohammed we need you to work in the girls underwear section no rapes !

Boycott @Selfridges

Who owns Selfridges?

This is stupidity. Do Selfridges even know who these people are?

Arem all big stores doing this.....look at ethnicity of security guards, cafe workers, cleaners.....all taking the jobs if #British workers Where's @UKLabour looking after the labourers?

Retailers are free to support integration and community projects if they choose to—businesses can invest in multiple social causes at once.

Kevin looks as if he's the older brother of @DPJHodges 😁
