@RogerYeahmon yea but it doesn't work in an environment where the govt deliberately keep hammering the unions and encourage outsourcing at every opertunity which undercut pay and conditions at every turn. The answer is robust labour laws a decent minimum wage and investment in skills training and infrastructure Brexit company problem hotline outsourced to India New passports contracted out to a firm in Holland This bunch are a joke

Had loads of interaction with Indian outsourcing really nice people pleasant too work with but a complete waste of time its not thier fault but outsourcing escalated dev times What would have taken 15 minutes in house escalated to days before outsourcing I'd walk over and clear stuff up with the Architect

Maybe its because I check through the BS the Cons spew out, you know you'd raise more tax revenue if you abolished the NI ceiling rather than hiking the tax onto everyone taxing people that barely can make ends meet the lower band starts at just under 9k pa
