Turns out that an industry that is heavily dependent on imported labor made a mistake of backing an initiative that centered on making it hard fpr foreigners to work in the UK, who could have guessed?
The Eastern Europeans who provided cheap labor are leaving ahead of Brexit, and the Brits - who complained about all those jobs the foreigners were taking - don't actually want to do that sort of work.
So, surely there are people from India et al. who'd like to come to the UK and help run the restaurants? That turns out to be the case, but the visa requirements start at a 30,000 pounds salary, and that's not going to fly for a curry chef. As a spokesman for the industry puts it:
Quote:
"Prior to the referendum we were promised by Boris Johnson, Priti Patel and Michael Gove that if we came out of Europe that it is likely they will be open for people from the sub-continent to come.”
Oh, you trusted Boris & Co., did you? Not a bright move.

Here's an article from 2012 - long before the term Brexit was ever heard of.
Those same restaurant owners were making the same claims as they are now.
You're one of those gullible fools who has fallen for Project Fear MK 1,2 and 3.
Indian restaurants in Blighty are going nowhere.
In other Brexit News, the British government has had to charter extra ferries to bolster transport capacity in case of a no-deal Brexit. $137 million in no-bid contracts, due to the "unforeseeable situation".
" In 2008, Ali warned that the policy could "decimate" the industry, which relies on foreign chefs to whip up everything from Sinhalese string hoppers to various vindaloos. And raids on restaurants that ignore the rules are common. But then, in March, the desire to slash immigration figures even further led the government to announce only the top 5% of the most skilled chefs – who must earn more than £28,260 per year – now qualify for admission to the UK.
According to Ali, this has left one in four vacancies in Indian restaurants unfilled. "
If you know anything about the British curry industry - and as you're a Dane in LA I'd hazard the guess you know as much about it as I know about the Danish bacon industry - you'd know they've been warning of staff shortages for decades.
