"British jobs for British workers" - Is outsourcing a treasonable activity?

Erm, I think we’ve had that argument and it seems only CyberBNP wants to be rid of you.

It's ok, we know you lot would miss us

Did you see ryanair are offering free flights? Michael O'Leary will bring us home for nothing!

Cyberprat wants you gone? No, no! Please stay!

[cailin maith]

What does that tell you?

Erm, I dunno, that he's nice?

RW, don't be subtle with me, I've had a long day I'll never get it!

As Brown Chops tells us "British jobs for British workers", surely the hollowing out of the professional middle class in Britain by British companies who outsource is a treasonable activity - in the sense that it is damaging to the country as a whole?

I have to admit to being undecided on this. The alternative to outsourcing is some form of protectionism of jobs with stringent employment laws. That's no good for economies and entrepeneurs either. If you look at it as more a boost to international trade by importing services as opposed to exporting jobs then it must create alternative opportunities surely? That doesn't help coders and low level service types though. In a global economy outsourcing is here to stay if tier 1 firms wish to stay competitive and the sooner we look to exploit the potential opportunities it brings rather than moan about it the better imo.
