if a lot of the sweatshop type jobs are relocated overseas to places like india and china it benefits the uk because there workforce stay there instead of coming over here. instead of losing one job, see it as gaining 3 because the indian who would have taken that one job would also have brought his brother and cousing to take the other two jobs as well. if immigration keeps going up while employment is going down it blows apart the argument that the immigrants are coming here to work, and proves there coming here for benefits and council houses

I have a question for the mods. If I call this poster a bigoted idiot, and ignorant to boot, am I likely to get in trouble for it?

Because if I get in trouble, I won't call him a cretin. I promise. No, really, I mean it . . .

But Topov, old chum, I didnt abuse you. I merely asked a rhetorical and philosophical question about IF i wanted to abuse you . . .

Just as an aside, you need to increase the dosage on your medication . . .Large red type is so . . well . .mad.

Off topic my old bean

Oh Council houses have been mainly sold off now!

It'd be nice if a thread could turn into something other than an immigration rant.

Can we return to the topic or is the thread 'not fit for purpose'?

It is also against MSE rules to post racist or homophobic comments.

This thread is not about immigration, it would be nice to keep it somewhat on topic.

So . back to the topic.

I work in the legal profession and one of the hot topics at the moment is offshoring some lawyers . . ie using lawyers in places like India to do the grunt work on major transactions or litigations. Some firms have already off-shored some support services (my old firm has a support facility employing 400 people in Manila for example).

It's the way of the world . . we do these things because we need to cut costs to ensure we remain competitive.

Arguing against it is like Canute raving at the waves to stop coming in.

How are Bertha and Johhny, Topov? Those black British characters from Pipkins. Were they your friends?

What's your game, little monkey on top?

It's not very smart though, is it?

It's like what happened to the IT industry. They off shored a lot of their core business to india and china. It turned out that the very same people, after learning the ropes on company payrole, decided to use all their new found skills and start their own businesses.

When you off shore core competancies, you should expect that you are training a generation of competitors. It's not even just about off-shore. Whenever you outsource the main part of your business, you might make savings in the short term, but over the long term you are breeding competitors who actually know more about the business than you do.
