Believe it or not, so do I. But I'm angry at their leaders, who are fully aware of the legal situation. There is absolutely no hope in hell of these poor blokes who are standing outside power stations and refineries of getting what they're after here. They have been sold a lie and are being used as pawns in someone else's grand political game.

It would, in my opinion, be far better to engage the question of why can't we compete equally in a tender against a company such as IREM?
Their advantage was, apparently, a directly employed workforce with the necessary skills for the job - according to this statement by LOR

The bigger problem is the 'saleability' of the UK workforce, which is relative to a long standing shortfall in training, in my opinion - knee jerking a response to one construction project won't solve that?
We need to get a properly resourced strategy in place to provide the opportunity for our young people to acquire skills that will be properly competitive with other EU countries, not just whinge when we get beaten ....
