All this nonsense of moving work from the UK to the likes of India reminds me of the negotiations that took place many years ago at one car plant.

The managers went through the process of explaining just how much time each machine would save, hence saving the company money, and allowing for bigger profits.

"With these machines in place, we will need only half of the current worksforce" the executive waxed lyrical.

The Union delegate just sat back in his chair, cracked his knuckles, and quietly asked "How many cars will these machines buy"?
