I'm not so sure on some of what you say, I'm sure the 'arch-capitalists' were and still are aware at the demise of cheap labour, the issue is that the unemployed Brits will not or cannot perform these roles for the salaries offered.
Now, it would be very easy at this point to simply say 'well, raise the salaries of these roles' but this then would us lead us down an interesting economic path.
A very simplistic view says you either make UK people take these roles. Or, you have to get cheap labour from somewhere
