    Yep.

    Camoron went as well.

    The days of India being the worlds factory are coming to an end...

    But even the good ones are not getting paid over there what an "average worker here" is getting paid. Also, even if you are not very good, you get to work with some of the best people over here, especially in London. Also, you get to play with the latest tech on your client's dime and you make valuable contacts.

    Rule of (decent) law.

    Everything else follows from it (including high taxes).

    They are already writing benefit claims processing systems for a certain London borough... I'd rather not live there, TBH.

    No need. They can just go to Halifax.
