Osborne encouraged to grow IT

Yep.

UK needs to be IT centre of excellence. Therefore unlimited work permits for India etc.

That's how the UK govt of any political leaning sees IT.

Given the people who are likely to be doing the encouraging, I'd say that was a given.

Anyone with any sense that can should be looking to emigrate.

Combine the IT work permit fiasco, with high inflation, tanking currency and the UK is not the place to be in IT.

Yeah but the trick is finding somewhere else that doesnt have rampant inflation, a tanking currency where you can start \ continue with your professional life.

Inflation is fine if you have wage inflation. Australia has price inflation but also has booming wage inflation.

UK has price inflation and wage deflation and a dead currency.

And that won't nick 10% of your savings. Seems anyone who hasn't spent into oblivion in recent years is now fair game for the socialists.

Oh, is it "the socialists" who are levying 10% on savings in Cyprus? I thought it was the Germans.
