Keep to the subject, don't swerve

People employed in India or Romania (as an example) doing work like IT, Accounts, buying, etc etc. that were previously employed in the UK. These people don't pay UK taxes and the employer doesn't pay the NI on a 3rd party providing a services.

Even more reason not to add to the load.

Retail chiefs again when some inflation is predicted. Job losses - well there may be some but how many. A lot depends on the staffing levels they need and have. Investment - what open another branch?
