Comment

I declined to use Norwich Union for car insurance despite a saving of 20 UKP because their call center is overseas. Instead my business went to Direct Line who assured me that their call center is here in the UK.

This is a very small thing we can all easily do to protect our own futures. At the very least you must ask yourself if your personal data is truly safe if not fully governed by UK data protection laws?

As a tax payer I would even suggest that corporations who choose to "offshore" for financial reasons should face a tax or levvy.
