We've already identified that you're an ignorant racist cretinous prick, so need to provide further evidence. But thank you for your time.

He does have a point with this:

Ask any Saudi / Dubai expat about the Indian Mafia.

It's not only Saudi / Dubai. Ask any black African.

Gad, Carruthers, we didn't get to wear funny hats & rule half the world with that sort of attitude.

I blame the invention of the AK47.

Harummph.

30 per hour + all the unwanted gropes an eastern European developer could want.

You should have applied then.

You'd have got a pay rise and a sex life.

You really had to watch your back. Basically they wanted the whole IT operation to be a closed shop - i.e. Indians only - and they would snipe and eavesdrop what you thought were private conversations and go to senior management (always a Saudi or Emirati) with their twisted version of events in the hope that you'd be their patsy.

Fortunately at that time, a western expat was far higher up the pecking order than an Indian so they usually ended up wearing egg on their faces.

However, I think that has now changed and they have the tech market well and truly stitched up out there with very few opportunities for western expats unless you're in something very niche.

And, yes. It worries me about the future here. I think the writing is on the wall and we need to prepare ourselves for when the uk tech sector becomes an Indian closed shop.

Romanian doesn't equal Roma.

Roma are hated all through Europe.
