You'd think that but you'd be wrong. It's true that fresh immigrants might have a low salary ask, but folks wise up pretty quickly to their worth in the UK - which is just as well, as otherwise it'd lead to exploitation and would drag overall salaries down.
No, the supply and demand bit doesn't hold true - it's cultural. We undervalue technical skill here, severely, and have for several generations. It's seen as somehow dirty.

Reminds me of facepalm moments in Bracknell a while back. Maybe things have improved since then, I wouldn't know: I left that country.
