Half the immigrants to UK are from India and China
If you think *all* the EU workers who will be put off coming to the UK (or unable to) post-Brexit will be replaced by non-EU workers, what do you think those non-EU workers are doing just now? And why would you expect EU workers to be replaced by non-EU immigrants?
I would have thought the consensus is that, post-Brexit, there will be a smaller pie, a reduced IT contract market, but also a smaller number of people getting a slice of it. Awful for the UK's (London's) aspirations as a tech hub, but maybe no massive difference for most (British) contractors.Comment
