A UK judge said that barring job applicants from “hostile” countries from working in sensitive roles is not racist but necessary due to potential espionage risks.

It is not discriminatory to prevent individuals from nations such as China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran, which pose a threat to Britain, from taking certain jobs in the defence or security sector, an employment tribunal has ruled.
