Should the UK introduce trade tariffs?

ICT's are simple
Full tax on pay from day one, not reclaimable. Housing etc. Expenses are seen as benefit in kind. Business expenses are reclaimable.
minimum pay excluding expenses should be 1.5 - 2 times the ONS rate for that job area, they are unmatched in the local or EU work market so they must be good and should be paid accordingly.
I would imagine demand would drop like a stone. It would also push up pay expectations back in original country so it would be a double benefit.
max 3 year visa no opportunity to remain, training program to hire replacement locally at the end of 3 years (no more Visas for that job at the end of 3 years). It would be expected ICT usage would decrease to almost nothing in 6 years. Stiffs all the big foreign body shops.
Yes you will see some business offshored permanently but tax take would soar and most people want bums on seats. Most big companies are planning massive growth in upcoming countries at the expense of established economy staff already anyway.
All UK government tasks cannot be taken outside the EU.
Call centres are slowly coming back, everyone is fed up at repeating everything 3 times. A few decent incentives (in exchange for work experience deals) and they will be back in the UK.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Certainly think we should dump the world trade agreements and decide trade by one to negotiation between nations or groups of nations.
We cannot all be self contained economies and it males sense to buy cheaper goods from India or China etc but we in return we should not accept the essentially closed economy that India imposes, the big fuss about allowing our supermarket chains to trade there, or the total contempt China shows for Western intellectual property. The measures the Chinese government has supposedly imposed to prevent manufacture of counterfeit Western goods are a transparent joke.bloggoth
