Flood of IT immigrants from India

...

the Indian / Pakistani IT industry grew up to service western needs. Why wouldn't Tonga see the opportunity?

Tonga pop: 103k
Hyderabad metro pop: 9.5m

I hardly think there will be many "skills shortage" Tongans or Bruneiens. It will be Indians Pakistanis and Nigerians.

The choice is either Slavic/eastern european skills or Indian, pakistani and African

No but low skilled menial jobs, i.e. fruit picking....

Tongans are better off coming here as rugby players

The topic is about "high end skills" and the flooding of labour markets. I hardly think Tonga will flood any market let alone high skills ones.

Cheap Indian code monkeys != highly skilled IT workers. High skilled surely means the top few percentiles relative to the industry.

If you're bothered on this specific issue - and support UKIP, then write/tweet your local UKIP MP and/or Farage your concerns about mass off-shoring, and on-shoring of IT workers at cheaper rates.

I don't like UKIP but it's daft not to put your concerns to them.

Okay how about Afrikaaners, Nigerians (who seem to have IT skills which would probably get around gullible politicians), Australians, Pakistanis, Indians, Singaporeans, etc. There are plenty of countries in the Commonwealth with large educated populations

There's about as much chance of people doing that as Ukip listening. People like to moan but not get off their fat lazy arses and do something about it, most people who earn a decent living wage are complacent....

Then you've no right to whinge. I would've thought UKIP are more likely to listen since they're small, not entrenched fixtures, and (perhaps) actually believe in their policies.

Sadly no-one, apart from Farage, really knows what their policies are. All they currently have are soundbites and they change from day to day....
