UK India Business Council: Rt. Hon Patricia Hewitt



Do you really think we had a change of Government?

Some of the faces changed, but not many.

And with interest rates likely to be kept at record lows for years, savers being shafted, inflation a target, house prices being propped up, population growth out of control. Takes Patricia Hewitt on a trade trip India to trade IT jobs for jobs for his mates and gives jobs to mad people who thinks there should be no cap on immigration. It's New Labour.

And we go over with arms spread to welcome all these new people and help them out of poverty and the cheeky bastards respond by demanding the Koor-I-noor diamond back. Give them an inch and they take a mile!!

Not many of the Policies have changed either.

To be honest I don't think we should have to take ICTs in return for trade with India. No one else has to. They are just trying to pull a fast one. British heads of companies with their faces in the trough that is.

I wonder why nobody has complained in the EU that the UK is providing state aid by stealth with their encouragement of the use of ICT to cut labour costs.

We've got no voice. No one cares. We don't demonstrate on the streets. We don't count.

It's not state aid.
