The Price of Brexit? More Indians?

The number of people in the South East (or travelling in and out of it) has nothing to do with it?

Due to bad government (of every colour) strategies on ensuring most businesses want to be in London and the SE.

I see it as a bit of chicken or egg. There's a massive pull for talent towards London and therefore business interest in being there. If you were setting up or running a business where would you go? If you were looking for work, where are the highest paying contracts? Perhaps the BBC's move to Salford Quays is a mini-example of the outcome of trying to reverse such a trend.

I'm already in London.

Though to be fair I was born and raised here.

The location of your business depends on what you do, where your customers are and where your competitors are. Added to that some businesses are more secure in more secluded locations e.g. protestors are easier to spot.

Farage said on TV that the UK should be open to skilled labour from India rather than having unlimited migration from Europe. However, nothing is said about British workers being able to work and settle in India. It’s one way only.

It's one way for a very good reason. Do you want to live there? Neither do I, and neither, it seems, do an awful lot of their "skilled" population.

Well if nothing else, it's taught me where the subtitle button is on my million-button remote control...
