Julie Bindel is usually a bit of a feminist (understatement alert) so I’m really rather surprised that she let this pass without comment in her interview:
Young chefs coming from India to work for Panjabi in Europe are given
accommodation in large apartments together, to counter the loneliness
of being so far away from home. Panjabi admits, however, that she does
not employ female chefs. "It is too much responsibility. It could be
too complicated – how would she get home after midnight alone?"
Direct discrimination there and nary a splutter.
