        Thats pretty short sighted. First off the reason you can't afford a house is that these arrangements have been used as an economic weapon against you to ensure that your rates are kept as low as possible. Secondly they are not here as skilled workers that pay taxes. The standard arrangement for these guys is that they pay NO tax as the companies in question pay a minimum wage that exempts them from TAX in this country and at home and then provides a Tax Free daily allowance to them just like the allowances that have been removed from contractors that use Umbrella companies...

        You need to gain some worldly understanding about the politics because the baby boomers are most definitely screwing you but at the moment you don't even know how they are pulling it off...

          Two wrongs don't make a right.

          We are talking about Brexit, once that is sorted we can sort out ICTs. If you notice its sorting itself out as many companies are bringing outsourced stuff back in due to the bad experience they had.

          Currently the bottom end labour is being undercut by cheap eastern european workers.

            It takes 8 years to be eligible for a German passport and they need to speak fluent German, so they won't exactly be piling in in June.

                That made me laugh. Who's the "we" who can sort out out ICTs?
                You're almost as naive as PG.
                ICTs are brought in by the big corporations, they are driven by the size of markets, a lot of them are only in the UK because it's a part of Europe and its easier to hire and fire here than on the continent.
                Once Brexit occurs, the calculation will be made, what's the size of the market here?
                It's miniscule, if there aren't more middle class people in India, say, with the spending power of the UK, there soon will be.
                If you are a CEO, what's your motivation for setting up in a Brexit UK?
                So you're right, there probably won't be any ICTs, because this won't be the base of many corporations

                Of course there are centres of excellence in the UK, based around the universities, that will always attract companies for the talent, but this isn't going to help the lower paid and less skilled - there is just no incentive for large corporations to be based here after Brexit, unless we compete on low wages.
                Hard Brexit now!

                  Poll putting Brexit camp ahead knocks back sterling | Reuters

                  Sterling handed back early morning gains on Tuesday after an opinion poll showed the "Out" campaign three points in front before June's referendum on whether Britain should remain in the European Union.

                  The ICM poll was the latest to show the "Out" camp ahead or tied.
