Will the end result of Cameron's doings be any worse than Labour's policy though (apart from the lies)? Wasn't the latter a case of unlimited visas, and the more the merrier?

Shame tulip different political party really.

Just to counter your rather simplistic argument, I've found a contract where Bobs will never get the clearance required. A niche market.

<BOOMED>Which is nice.

Lucky you, bob is everywhere and all we have is the underlying threat of more jobs being taken away as Cameron and co grease the palms of large multinationals.

No Bobs on my next project. Which is nice.

You keep saying that like some retard. Are you trying to tell us you're a racist or that you're getting benched?

It all seems very odd. The immigration cap was a pretty controversial policy in the election run-up and got the Tories a lot of flak, which I figured meant they were serious or they would water it down to get more votes. Playing hardline on something controversial when your power is in the balance, only to water it down once you get in power, seems the wrong way round somehow.

Well looks like China is the place to invest? Anyone know of any good funds?

[CheeseSlice]

Do the chinese really do much IT offshoring/outsourcing?

I once had to deal with a Chinese team who thought they could take all of our work offshore. I gave them a presentation on what we did and showed them our many hundreds of servers and dozens of networks which formed a complex application platform.

They flew back to China the next day and we never heard from them ever again

Cameron is probably in China right now trying to trade more IT jobs for Chinese business. It won't affect the immigration figure though, because Chinese IT workers won't be included in the immigration calculation either.

Wrong.
Guessing by the amount of replies to your posts you must be the village idiot.

Given that India are not within the ECC any Indian worker partaking in employment within the ECC requires a Work permit/Visa....guess that makes them immigrants.

Not very bright, are you? My hyperbolic sarcasm went right over head. Now I expect that from that half-wit SB, but do try to KUATB.

I thought the cap applied to ICTs? This new army is in addition to and not limited by the ICT quotas?

Migrant cap exemption for company transfers - Cameron

But speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said: "Intra-company transfers shouldn't be included in what we are looking at."

Yes, this post from TW has a linked story about this.

Are they not meant to be talking about imposing some type of minimum salary cap on ICT's though?

ICT will be excluded from the 'cap', but AFAIK they still have to appear in the Net Migration figures.
Immigration Minister Damian Green has actually confirmed that achieving net migration in the tens of thousands was a cast iron commitment from the government.

If you look at recent figures for inward migration that contribute to net migration, you'll see that ICT (under Tier2) is only a small piece of the pie.
