It would be detrimental to the British economy in the long run, it would deter foreign companies and limit the opportunity for British companies to expand and compete with other international firms which do not have the same limitations.
Look at France if you need an example that Protectionism just don't not work.

It's not about protectionism it's about doing what's right for the workforce, here we have a sub contractor abusing people for profit, it's alright them saying they will be paid more than their British counterparts, well why hire them then? The boat and shipping them over can't come cheap, especially when they have perfectly able bodied workers outside with placards, perhaps the rumours are true about
a lot of them not being properly trained and failing drink and drugs test aren't without foundation.
Tbh nothing shocks me with Total, they are a company I have had nothing to do with for a long time, their activities in Burma have aided the Junta's genocide against the Karen people and should have lead to a mass boycott of their products long ago.
