Sorry but ntl are the most recent in a long list to do this.

If you want to blame someone for this blame our successive Governments for allowing the cost of living (and therefore salaries) to get so obscene in this overpriced, overtaxed, underserviced, depressing, erm, poop hole of a country by taxing the backside of everyone in every way possible making everything expensive and meaning employers have to pay so much more just to give people a half decent living wage (and I'm not even going to mention housing, 200 grand for a ground floor flat in Southampton, ffs).

The end result being a country that's not competitive internationally hence domestic qualified labour pool takes the training here then buggers off somewhere else where they can have a higher quality of life (really who can blame them, I'm one of them in the near future), and wholesale importation of labour to do the jobs residents don't want to, along with exportation of jobs to where they can be done for a cost that isn't obscene.

Comes down to 3 words often heard - 'off rip Britain' arrange as necessary....
