If businesses screw themselves up trying to do dodgy out-sourcing, leave them to it. Eventually companies will either see it as not being especially worthwhile, or will figure out how to outsource effectively (which is possible).

I wouldn't like an office in Oval. Too close to Elephant & Castle.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIn the atmosphere of a plush Oval OfficeI've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

That's close to Stockwell, I believe. Surely we wouldn't want to be a Brazilian electrician in these circumstances...Originally posted by Francko View PostI wouldn't like an office in Oval. Too close to Elephant & Castle.Comment

If we only protect against India it will be fine.....Originally posted by Gonzo View PostYou do realise that the resulting protectionism and nationalism that arose out of the great depression is blamed for causing the Second World War don't you?

Actually, you could argue that had the USA not moved their fleet HQ from San Diego to Pearl Harbour, the USA/Japan bit of WW2 would never have happened. The Pearl Harbour attack wouldn't have happened in San Diego because the surprise element wouldn't have been there, and wherever else in the Pacific Rim the Japanese attacked they knew the the US Pacific Fleet would be too much of a threat...so if they couldn't knock out the US Pacific Fleet a la Pearl Harbour, would they have started a fight?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
