Ah well, at least that will mean closure for UK IT, which is better than being in limbo-land wondering whether it was a temporary vindictive short-termist Labour policy or the end.

A quick google registered these:

Coalition expected to outsource and offshore to cut deficit - 14 May 2010 - Computing

Indian IT companies will storm the UK market this year - 30 Apr 2010 - Computing

Law firm signs

I think we are properly doomed.

Yes, Google "Labour Friends of India" and wonder why they rubber stamped hundreds of thousands of work permits, mostly for IT.

It'll be interesting to see whether the Tories will continue with the New Labour policy of replacing us with Bob or will put a stop to it.

BBC News - David Miliband says New Labour era is over

So a complete disaster consigned to the political rubbish bin then?

Good riddence to bad rubbish!
