          And why not - it's not like the country is in extreme financial difficulty or anything.

              I assume PHP/PERL is as easy as stacking shelves at Tesco then ?

              If that's what it is being valued at, then either there is a glut of people with the skill or the skill is easy to master (eg..easier than Logo)
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                Government Regulatory Body: You do realise that we can only issue work permits for roles that have been advertised in this country and for which you failed to find suitable candidates?

                Employer: Yes, of course. Look, here's the proof, a job advert on jobserve. The only applicants were complete muppets. Now, can we have those work permits?
