LONDON: Indian companies are being drafted in to run the information technologies of British government departments whose blunders and gaffes have cost the taxpayer billions of pounds.

Senior executives of several Indian information technology majors held an informal meeting with Trade Minister Gareth Thomas and other members of the British parliament Wednesday night to explore the possibility of an Indian rescue mission.

"I want you to lay down your life, Perkins."
"Right sir!"

"We need a futile gesture at this stage. It will raise the whole tone of the war."
"Yessir!"

"Get up in a crate, Perkins."
"Sah!"

"Pop over to Bremen."
"Yessir!"

"Take a shufti."
"Right sir!"

"And don't come back."
"Yessir"

"Goodbye, Perkins. God, I wish I was going too."
"Goodbye Sah! – Or is it au revoir?"

"No, Perkins."

The feckers will be smart enough to do the first one on time and on budget before the sabotage starts.

They could solve all this by making public sector management jobs "performance related pay". This would separate the good from the bad, give them all a £15k basic with unlimited performance related bonus.

Mind you, I'd rather see my taxes go to the indians, than the pockets of unaccountable people in the civil service.

This is pretty gobsmacking. They give out all govt work to big consultancies, who produce inadequate results for vast sums of money. Then the govt themselves eff up the data. Now they want the Indians to fix it.

The wallflowers in this party? Britain's large supply of competent IT contractors, overburdened and unwanted. I have just about had enough.

....I have just about had enough.

I passed that stage years ago

 

[MarillionFan]

So my gaff is replacing all contractors and 60% of its IT Staff with Indian outsourced companies.

I will soon be heading up an Indian Dev team.

Lovely.
