The Tories would seem to be historically more amenable to the "foreign worker" argument so if a big enough fuss is made, the dubious practice of "on-shoring" could be targeted when they get to power.Hard Brexit now!

We tried back in 2003. It failed.
Still regardless of the this the Union have attempted to make a (meek) statement that has attracted no support whatsover in contrast to the refinery workers.
I think sasguru is right - one battle lost does not mean the war has been lost and the time is ripe now for political and legal change IMHO.
In the meantime if they are all at it there is no point moving my finances!This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

There is no way that it could ever be found to be illegal. If it is illegal now it would have been illegal before. The compensation payments for the loss of earnings would run into many billions.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

You may not like it put in such blunt terms (and in retrospect the smilie was wrong), but the fact remains I am right about this.
Until the IT industry learns to make its case effectively when blatant bending of the rules occurs, jobs will be lost, and are being lost.
That is the point I was trying to make.
Now, would you like to suggest what we can do about it?Hard Brexit now!
