It was a load of old twaddle. If he was honest he'd have said - we exempted ICTs from the immigration cap limits because business asked us to (actually he did say that bit), otherwise we couldn't carry on cramming the It dept of every major organisation in the country with Indians to save money and undercut every UK IT worker who has to deal with the obscene cost of living and therefore can't take the kind of poverty wages offered. Business needs these cost savings to pay for obscene top management bonuses.Comment
