ICT Visa route news in parliament today

[CoolCat]

Oh dear the government has further widened the floodgates of the intra company transfer visa entry route allowing the Indian outsourcing movement to destroy UK jobs and intellectual property ever more!

Apparently because Cameron’s “business advisory” committee told him to! That’ll be the committee with Mr Tata on it who owns one of those self same Indian outsourcing companies and the same committee which has no UK national IT leaders on it

I will be voting UKIP. I urge everyone to do the same. LibLabCon are all puppets of the global elite (banks, huge multinationals, etc).

Paid over £150,000 can extend to 9 years on ICT. - Good (high earners wanted)

Can spend > 180 days out of UK without affecting citizenship. - Bad why pay tax.

Can't convert from student - good


what I would have like to have seen.

Minimum qualifying wage (after accommodation etc expenses) must be in top 10% of earners. Tax paid in UK, no exceptions.

suitable CRB & checking when dealing with data.

Disconnect between sponsor & visa (maybe 3 month amnesty to find new job?)

It's a bit dull when you just post news, can't you give your opinion on the subject?

WHS, now a UKIP voter.

I don't expect them to take any seats but if there is a 5->10% vote for UKIP in every area then the tories will be changing their policies feckin quickly.

Had enough of IT, this will be my last contract, had enough of bobs and their tulipey code, annoying communication skills and updations.

Have you never come across Bob PMs then? - at least with coders you can keep them isolated from the client

The UK is rapidly becoming the toss donkey capital of the universe.
Why the **** did I come back here. Stupidest thing I ever did.

[d000hg]

I think a political party who exist pretty much for a single, negative, policy is rather pointless.

"We're out of the E.U. Now what?"
