The question of course is how do we know what they are being paid or charged for living as they do not pay tax in the UKOriginally posted by sasguru View Post

That made me laugh. Who's the "we" who can sort out out ICTs?
You're almost as naive as PG.
ICTs are brought in by the big corporations, they are driven by the size of markets, a lot of them are only in the UK because it's a part of Europe and its easier to hire and fire here than on the continent.
Once Brexit occurs, the calculation will be made, what's the size of the market here?
It's miniscule, if there aren't more middle class people in India, say, with the spending power of the UK, there soon will be.
If you are a CEO, what's your motivation for setting up in a Brexit UK?
So you're right, there probably won't be any ICTs, because this won't be the base of many corporations
Of course there are centres of excellence in the UK, based around the universities, that will always attract companies for the talent, but this isn't going to help the lower paid and less skilled - there is just no incentive for large corporations to be based here after Brexit, unless we compete on low wages.

What's the incentive for any bright UK person to enter the field of medicine, untertake many years of training and exams, when the NHS would rather order 100,000 people from India to work on the lowest wages possible?Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostStraight from a Masters degree to a senior position in the NHS on less than 35K... hmmmmmm.
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
I would auction the ICT to the highest bidders and use the money raised so that degress that fulfill skills shortages are funded without student debt.
Otherwise we might as well all go on the social and fill every job in the UK with immigrants working for 3rd World pay.Comment

On the other side of the coin, what is the incentive for the Government to pay indigenous people for years of expensive medical training when as likely as not they'll hoof it off to the US as soon as they have passed their final exams and earn a fortune?Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostWhat's the incentive for any bright UK person to enter the field of medicine, untertake many years of training and exams, when the NHS would rather order 100,000 people from India to work on the lowest wages possible? ...Work in the public sector?

Mind you, Brexiters are slightly moronic: Electoral Commission | Designation of lead campaigners for the EU referendum
Due to this:
Grassroots Out, the Leave group that lost the competition to be designated as the lead Leave campaign, seems to be split. Peter Bone, a spokesman, has issued a statement congratulating Vote Leave and he has just appeared on Sky News with the same message.
But Andy Wigmore, head of communications for Leave.EU, the group set up by the Ukip donor Arron Banks which is the main group behind the Grassroots Out coalition, has said that Banks is taking legal advice on whether the decision can be challenged. Wigmore told Huffington Post:We are going to appeal it, which could delay the referendum until October 23.
We think it’s a political stitch-up.
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
