Comment

The concept of allowing immigration to alien IT personnel without jobs is scary. Are the Foreign Office officials in Embassies oversea's capable of assessing IT skills before granting a visa? Perhaps the task should be undertaken by low paid sleepy eyed officials at the immigration desk at Heathrow airport?

There are plenty of highly skilled IT Professionals in the UK who can fill the posts. The only disqualification is that they are over 35 years old. What about all the IT personnel "released" by Offshoring.
