Osborne encouraged to grow IT

I think it is still possible to have a successful small or medium sized niche IT enterprise but the days of having a British based and staffed large IT consultancy have long gone.

Despite what people think, Germany is a nice country and the people friendly. But, everything is so expensive there plus you have a new language to learn.

Personally I don't find it expensive there. But it does help if German is one of your languages, I suppose.

So in one line, the thread title should be "Osborne encouraged to blow IT"

How about 'Osborne encouraged to provide lots of bums on seats as cheaply as possible regardless of the quality and resulting disaster that will ensue'?

For a sec. there I thought the headline was "...grow weed"

Shame the headline wasn't ".. grow a pair", urging him to privatise the NHS.

Definitely socialists. And even if it wasn't, in my eyes it was

Anyway, remember Brown muted a savings tax over here. Seems to be a standard socialist policy.

Only the "rich" have savings, so it's only "fair"

Must.

National.

Socialists.

Bugger.

There.

We.

Go.

And certainly not Arbeiterpartei!

Yeah but the trick is finding somewhere else that doesnt have rampant inflation, a tanking currency where you can start \ continue with your professional life.

Germany?

And that won't nick 10% of your savings. Seems anyone who hasn't spent into oblivion in recent years is now fair game for the socialists.

Oh, is it "the socialists" who are levying 10% on savings in Cyprus? I thought it was the Germans.

Inflation is fine if you have wage inflation. Australia has price inflation but also has booming wage inflation.

UK has price inflation and wage deflation and a dead currency.

Anyone with any sense that can should be looking to emigrate.

Combine the IT work permit fiasco, with high inflation, tanking currency and the UK is not the place to be in IT.
