British IT workers 'crowded out'
- mahmud 17y ago"Talented Britons are gradually being replaced by Indian workers" Are the Indians equally talented or is competence an inherently "British" trait while menial labor the forte of the Indians? Submitter, why sex up the article by using an 11th-paragraph sentence for a title?
- smharris65 17y agoI'm not trying to sex up the title at all. I thought the original title: "British IT workers 'crowded out'" was too vague. What does "crowded out" really mean? And the 11th paragraph sentence from an IT worker who was affected summed it up more nicely than the author.
- mahmud 17y agoIt's more conventional here to leave the title unchanged, just to avoid sensationalism and misdirection. I am sure you meant well, but what's stopping a pro-immigration submitter from underplaying the effect of migrants on the British labor market by quoting any of the company statements including this :"They are not filling roles that require a permanent UK presence.", etc. Changing the subjective unnecessarily reframes the debate, and what could have been an objective piece becomes a subject propaganda pamphlet (not to mention the cred-hijacking associated with putting the publication's name beside an inflammatory/unsubstantiated claim) Of course, there is also the risk of excessive meta-debate from pedantic jerkwads like myself.
