    MI6 'OUTSOURCING TORTURE TO INDIAN CALL CENTRE'

    THE security services have opened a 24-hour torture centre staffed by low-wage Indian workers, it was claimed last night.

    Maverick Tory MP David Davis said the government's low-cost torture policy was putting hundreds of experienced British sadists on the dole.

    Not exactly a world authority on business outsourcing. The article is also a tad outdated written in 2007, the year the brown stuff hit the fan.

    I'm not saying that outsourcing will not succeed, it has alot of advantages, however it is like everything else. There will be alot of burnt fingers and some success stories.

    Whats happening at the moment is what they call in the city, A market shake.

    There are a lot of headless chickens running around, a lot of doom sayers and a lot of tulips being planted.

    One fundamental thing everyone has missed here, India can supply labour cheaper, which may affect UK unemployment, UK unemployment may affect market sales of products manufactured cheaply in India and China, which basically has happened due to the fact we are talking of recession, which has an adverse affect on the asian economies. Will the asian economies have the buying power european economies? Will there be a total shift of economic power houses?
    There are thousands of other articles in a similar vein, pick any one you like, though they are not difficult to write- just look around you and tell us what you see.

    No doubt, but they would like to pay you even less if they could I suspect.

    Here’s an idea, knock up a word doc that just says “This job ad is being reported to ICTabuse.net” and register it with Jobserve as a CV then apply for the role via ‘apply now’.

    Should get some interesting replies.
