We just invested £2.5b into Ukraine, all while following the lead of the US into Israel and Yemen and trying to make deportation deals with Rwanda. All while we watch the news on Japan and India building (rather than destroying) and landing rovers on the moon for the first time.
Remember when the UK looked down on India? Now it even relies heavily on hiring people from there.
- gumballindie 3y agoWhoa. What’s so bad about “hiring people from there”? Now that east european skills have left it takes two to three locals to get the same job done, if they even figure out how. Have to bring people with expertise from somewhere. Only issue is that Indians are visa bound and underpaid, unlike east europeans that companies competed for and drove wages up - contrary to what the clay of the land thought.

- password54321 3y agoYou highlight a problem with talking about politics online. It seems very easy for people to become emotional with responses like "Whoa. What’s so bad about “hiring people from there”?" and assume a comment is racist rather than assuming the best intentions. My intention was to highlight how the dynamics between other countries have changed and how the UK seems less independent and less interested in progress all while spending money on war (while aimlessly following the US).
- dtornabene 3y agoyou have not in anyway cleared up why "hiring people from there" is somehow a bad thing, which, yes, is a deeply racist attitude.
- password54321 3y agoSeems like the other commenter was smart enough to understand, if you aren't, that is your problem.
- gumballindie 3y agoMy apologies - it was a knee jerk reaction on my part. I am sorry.
