If the government are genuine in their concerns, they would close the door to Indian workers. The reason why the government pick on Romania and Bulgaria is that they have chosen not to go along with UK-US foreign policy."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Its hardly a big issue if you make it a simple Highly Skilled Migrant / work Visa.
Strangely enough every high grade employee we have transferred from places like Switzerland or the USA has had no difficulty getting a visa. If you do that you can also add no recourse to public funds which stops eastern European organised welfare abuse which is becoming common.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
