Offshore staff being shipped in to the UK

Write to your MP, write to all the other political candidates. Write to the press.

Complain about intra company transfer visas being handed out, in skills already in oversupply, to masses of Indian nationals.

Complain about so many intra company transfer entrants still being given indefinite leave to remain, and British passports, simply for working here a while.

is five years a "while"?

I don’t care how long they have worked here, if their only tie to the UK is having worked here, or family member of someone who has, then I don’t believe we should be handing out indefinite leave to remain or citizenship.
I have worked long periods in other countries and never expected to pick up local indefinite leave to remain or citizenship.
We do not need these immigrants, we already have an oversupply of these skills, and we are a small country.
And I would be policing the rules against the outsourcing organisations that flood the country with such people, the immigration rules, employment rules, tax rules, discrimination rules, and so on are all broken routinely by these organisations.

Look on the bride side, they are all so utterly useless you can put in 50% effort and everyone thinks you are fantastic.

The Indian contractors are now mostly British/EU citizens and realise they cannot survive on low rates if they intend to make their life in the UK.

The same happens with EU citizens they convince to come over. When they realise the cost of living in the UK or that the office they are suppose to work at is in the middle of no-where they either don't come or jump ship asap.

That is surely a good thing, competing with people that actually want to settle here is a lot better than competing with government subsidised slaves (oops meant ICTs)

im surprised this thread hasnt been deleted, i didnt think any discussion of the uk being swamped by overseas IT staff was allowed on this forum. Certainly i dont think you are allowed to discuss their work ethic/capabilities/legitimacy of alleged experience or qualifications , well maybe you can say something positive, but any negative opinions however well founded = doubtful. sad really

I disagree. That was the case 10 years ago. Now they are very good.

I am not sure that we should be allowing so much work to go to those abroad. But then I work in IB - the wimbledonization of the city happened a long while ago. We host the main tournament -but all the players are foreign. So what right have I got to complain?

[minestrone]

Worked with them in IB and you will get the decent ones but more than likely they are not that good with a fair chance they are dud.

As ever their social skills let them down the most, not team players, like to hide, bit funny with the women and spend too much time on their Lebara phones.

Anyway, this thread was clearly started by a sockie, I am shocked it got to this length.

I'm not a sockie, I'm a ******** enraged old git who is having his livelihood taken away by cheap imports. This place is as good as any to vent.
