Rishi to the rescue

I want a system that puts the health and well being of its citizens first. If you can convince me a big multinational that pays it's tax via offshore tax arrangements and hires the cheapest non-local people to perform the work is best for the UK, then lets support this great concept.

Well said.

I would say that it's partly true. I meet youngsters who only know how to use a smartphone and have no interest beyond that.

To be fair, they are extremely good at using smartphones.

Did I actually express a desire for anything in my post or did you just make that up ?

Did you not understand that the strange curly symbol at the end of my sentence implied it was a question? <== look there's another one. Maybe answer the question instead of having a tantrum.

For your clarity, I didn't express a preference for anything or imply one. It's a shame one of the ten commandments wasn't 'thou shalt not be a c**t', cause it would certainly make your posts less irritating.

Hate crap like this. Just let capitalism do it's thing. If there is a real shortage let the wages increase organically which will incentive more people to start training in the area, people with tech skills who have left the industry to come back, and companies to become more efficient/increase productivity.

Agree, Personally I got into I.T. in 1999 because the salaries I was hearing about seemed pretty attractive.

I am always sceptical about reports saying there isn't enough I.T. labour etc. if you dig deep you often find the report is comissioned by someone who will have s direct or indirect benefit from importing I.T. resources from another country.

Until they get out of space or stop working
