Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostI see it as a bit of chicken or egg. There's a massive pull for talent towards London and therefore business interest in being there. If you were setting up or running a business where would you go? If you were looking for work, where are the highest paying contracts? Perhaps the BBC's move to Salford Quays is a mini-example of the outcome of trying to reverse such a trend.

Though to be fair I was born and raised here.
The location of your business depends on what you do, where your customers are and where your competitors are. Added to that some businesses are more secure in more secluded locations e.g. protestors are easier to spot.

Originally posted by MPwannadecentincome View PostIt's a viscous circle...
Starve the education system here so as to reduce the UK talent pool, then complain there is a skills shortage, keep outsourcing offshore and make the existing talent pool redundant forcing more onto the job market, reduce the market rate, use visas to bring offshore people on-shore, some of these will at some point become resident, thus more people on the job market, reduce the market rate. Wise elders say to youngsters don't go into a career in IT you are only likely to be made redundant when your job is outsourced. Talent pool reduced again as youngster's dont join the industry as elders are retired or on early retirement. Complain there is a skills shortage....
Ad infinitum.

Ugh.
