Some interesting comments on that page too.

My client employs plenty of Indians and that seems to be because not enough do systems/software courses and not enough want to

Require £50k minimum permanent salary as condition of workpermit issued (very high penalties for lies in applications, non payment) - that would sort out 90% of the problems.
