The systematic offshoring of the UK wealth and exploitation of UK skilled workers facilitated by the corporates and a few who thrive benefiting by doing business in this country supported by current and previous governments.

Over the years corporates in the banking, media, pharmaceutical,  industries etc. while profiting from the people of the United Kingdom have outsourced and offshored UK skilled worker jobs to countries such as India for cheap labour to global giants. These global giants overseas have taken away the wealth of the UK making UK skilled workers jobless, while exploiting their own skilled workers such as bringing them over to the UK on skilled worker visas paying them cheap foreign wages and tying them to contracts, while hosting them in shared accommodation to cut costs and to capitalise on profit. These foreign workers cannot get out of the grip of these global conglomerates, unless the UK company that hired them paid a large sum of money to buy these workers.

For instance, the net worth of some of these global tech giants as of May 2025 based on publicly available info:

Infosys  (US$11 billion).

HCL (13 billion).

Tata Consultancy Services TCS (US$200 billion).

The list goes on…….

Even tech giants originating  from the UK, that were on par with the UK job markets  for skilled workers have offshored most of their work to cheap labour countries for more profit. Ensuring that both corporates and these tech giants together are able to undercut the UK skilled worker market also negating any jobs for British workers that desperately need them.

The latest trend is that prominent organisations even previously saved by UK taxpayer money have started opening tech centers in India spending billions of pounds to undercut the UK job market. It has also been stated through the grapevine that their plans are to have 9/10 skilled workers within these tech centers abroad. They have done so by cutting down on UK local offices, forcing skilled staff to come to central locations or being forced to resign since some are not able to travel to these new central locations costing them more money and travel time. This is discrimination and surely illegal?

There is also a new trend where these organisations only advertise the remnant jobs that cannot be offshored due to various reason such as compliance outside of London. This is due to two reasons:

1.     To justify their cause of opening tech centers abroad saying that there are no skilled workers in the UK to do these jobs, since there is a massive pool of skilled workers based in London, and if they do advertise in London, they will not be able to justify their false claim. While even some of these organisations say that their motto is to prosper the UK. Which is not really happening only the shareholders and the C-Suite in the UK prosper.

2.     To bring the value of the skilled workers wages down across the UK, as we all know the cost of living in London is unaffordable irrespective of what the Mayor of London states, and skilled workers in London need to be paid what their worth due to the value they bring to an organisation and also to survive in London.

Living in London has become unaffordable due to antics by the previous and current governments such as Net Zero, LEZs that look good on paper or maybe good ideas that are not practical due to poverty of the middle and working classes in the UK. Where even some workers such as plumbers, tree surgeons, electricians have had to sell their vans and buy small cars to travel round London due to them getting fines impacting their only source of income. Cancer patients while being on chemotherapy have had to do grocery shopping by using horrendous public transport due to the inability to use their NetZero non-compliant cars due to them being fined through very vigilant cameras and local councils. It is a ridiculous notion to ask them to buy NetZero compliant cars when they cannot even afford to do their grocery shopping, while the Mayor of London is exempt from such fines. This is a two-tier standard. Is his job and status more worth than the poor beings of London who are struggling to survive ?

The current and previous governments harp on how they are supporting small businesses, but they introduced IR35 and increased taxes and destroyed small businesses. Where skilled contract workers have been forced to close their small businesses and earn their contract payee wages through a preferred list of conglomerate global umbrella organisations defined by the employers and government. Where these global umbrellas hold the floating capital that was held by small businesses previously making these handful of global umbrellas prosper and expand their businesses. Their justification for introducing IR35 was due to some rogue Umbrellas themselves using Ponzi schemes to attract contractors and not paying tax that was due to the government. This does not reflect the rest of the hard-working contractors who have slaved in this country and paid their taxes through their companies and have held the United Kingdom together over the years even to saving  some corporates such as banks through their taxes.

The UK system has been manipulated extensively to benefit a few, while the rest cannot afford to live anymore, hindering innovation, killing UK skills, stopping small businesses in their tracks etc. Over the years we have taught many overseas workers to even do our jobs and given our jobs away to them at the request of corporates, whether it be contract or permanent. The system has been exploited so much that British skilled workers cannot afford to live any more in the Britain that once was great that has systematically been manipulated by a privileged few.

The impact of these actions is not limited to only the tech industry domain but are prevalent in other domains such as accounting, legal, support industries such as call centers etc.

On the other hand, the jobs available to UK skilled workers from some government organisations such as HMRC require security clearances. If one does not have a clearance or a clearance has expired these government organisations should facilitate the re-instatement of these clearances to UK workers if the UK worker has the appropriate skills to do the job or has done the same job for the same organisation previously before being outsourced to global tech giants. 

It has even come to a stage when a skilled worker is desperately looking for work, these same government organisation agencies are not willing any more to sponsor the required clearance for certain jobs that are advertised. Skilled workers are unable to apply for security clearances directly, hampering their chances of securing these jobs, leaving them at a massive disadvantage. Some organisations are currently utilising DEI policies that have been created to be more inclusive towards candidates to discriminate against them based on their age etc, values. excluding them from potential interviews based on what they input into pre-hire, pre interview, information gathering forms. For instance, it has also been found out that certain organisations, recruiters, and HR departments utilise a filter within Workday to filter out applicants above a certain age, this is absolute discrimination. When the government has raised the retirement age of workers in this country up. How does the government expect these same workers to be discriminated against and find jobs at the same time. Recruiters even recommend removing years of experience from your CVs to ensure that the CVs get through to the actual hiring managers. The latest and greatest achievement in the recruitment process  and industry is ghosting, this is where recruiters and organisations never provide any feedback post interviews. This is either due to the organisations changing their hiring criteria, the job being put on hold or the candidate not being successful at an interview stage. Either way it is rude not to be transparent and give feedback to the candidates about the situation, after they have spent hours preparing for these same interviews in addition to sending time on the interviews themselves, their time is valuable too.

In addition to the issues mentioned above when these global outsourced and offshored tech firms cannot find the necessary skills abroad and are forced to find skilled workers, what they do is advertise these jobs through foreign companies back to British workers. Where a chain of foreign organisations take cuts “finders fees” on the daily rate or permanent salary of a UK worker lowering their due wages.  In addition, these third-party foreign companies also demand your PII information to fill in the applications on your behalf to the portals created by these global tech firms that these third-party organisations have access to making your personal data vulnerable to identity theft. Where PII data is sold in the black markets. Also having tech centers abroad or services that have access to UK data abroad, only expand attack vectors making British people’s data more vulnerable to attacks. For instance, the BBC stated the following: “M&S said the hackers who had brought huge disruption to the retailer had managed to gain access to their systems via a "third party" - a company working alongside it - rather than accessing those systems directly.” This shows the impact of expansions of attack vectors in terms of data breaches.

When ICO fines these organisations for data breaches, the actual British people who suffered the  consequences of these data breaches never get compensated at all.

Hence the requests are as follows:

1.     Reduce corporation tax, so that more businesses will invest in the UK and British workers.

2.     Introduce a tax on cheap foreign labour abroad so that corporates cannot undercut the UK job market rendering UK skilled and unskilled workers jobless.

3.     Get rid of IR35 that only benefit a handful of selected umbrella companies so that small businesses can use their hard-earned contract money to innovate and expand their businesses even venturing into other avenues creating jobs for the British people. Currently the only way for small businesses innovate is through funding from a few privileged venture capitalists, benefiting only a few and tying these small businesses down to their control.

4.     Make at least business workers that require a vehicle for their daily work and patients who are being treated in hospital or disabled people exempt from NetZero, LEZ fines propagated by the mayor of London for global recognition.

5.     Ensure that any foreign workers whether in the UK or abroad are not able to undercut the UK job market due to their privileged visa status or cheap labour abroad. The government’s new introduction of the new visa schemes introduced by the prime minister will only undercut the rest of the UK job market, since the global conglomerates will take advantage of this situation.

6.     Allow skilled workers to apply for their security clearances directly or ensure that the government organisations are willing to secure clearances for skilled workers for all jobs they advertise. For instance, it costs them only £56 to secure a SC clearance for a worker.

7.     Ensure that businesses that profit from the UK, hire UK staff first and investigate any false claims that they may make saying that there are no skilled workers in the UK to fill jobs, which is a blatant lie. For arguments sake if certain skills are lacking it is also their moral and ethical duty to train UK workers and not get rid of them.

8.     Ensure that PSPs (Preferred service providers) cannot tie UK workers down to no competence clauses after six months of service. These organisations make enough money within six months taking almost 20% off the daily rate of a contractor just for an introduction to a corporate.

9.     Ensure that when an organisation due to their own negligence breach PII data of UK citizens, that the UK citizens get compensated too. What’s the point of ICO and the government making money while the people who actually suffered the consequence of the breach is not compensated.

10.  Ensure that organisations and recruiters cannot utilise pre-interview hiring questionnaires and forms that can be used to discriminate against certain individuals based on their personal attributes such as age, excluding them from potential interviews with the actual hiring managers. Any type of discrimination against potential candidates through the hiring process by biased individuals within organisations should not be tolerated. These forms that contribute to bias and discrimination against potential candidates should be totally banned from the recruitment process.

11.  Introduce a compulsory government backed hiring etiquette online program that recruiters and organisations are required to revisit when they do not provide transparent feedback to candidates post interviews. This will ensure that British values such as manners, transparency, honesty, ethics, and etiquette do not continue to diminish from the United Kingdom at least in the recruitment process.

12.  Ensure that organisations cannot demand change of work location or work patterns mid-way through contracts or employment that inconvenience employees thus forcing them to resign from the job they loved. This is a well-known tactic adopted by certain organisations when they want to cull their British staff to hire cheap labour elsewhere.

13.  Ensure that any business profiting from the UK disclose their employee hiring statistics both within the UK or either directly or indirectly through outsourcing or offshoring. This is to ensure that British public can decide for themselves which companies to do business with or where to put their hard-earned cash. Currently these organisations under the law are not obligated to provide this information to the British public. The British public need to have visibility of these statistics. This should be both for skilled and unskilled worker hires and not apprentices that are used to fill in gaps for these same organisations, misleading the actual statistics.

14.  Ensure that the mayor of London does not mislead the British public by stating that foreign workers on temporary visas pay in more tax than the average British worker without any statistical backing or proof. Has he already forgotten that the British people have already contributed into the system all their lives ? If the mayor of London wants to have a formal debate of the ridiculous cost of living in London, rising taxes, NetZero fines, foodbanks, rising knife crime and lack of jobs etc. without avoiding these issues by running away from real questions when addressed directly, he is welcome to do so formally. 

15.  If this petition goes into parliament, the parliament should ensure that any votes cast by the elected, whether they be positive or negative pertaining to these requests that have been suggested to protect British workers are published transparently. This is to help the British public navigate their voting choices for future elections. The proof is actually in the pudding and not what the MPs say before they are elected in this day and age.

This is the last desperate and final request from a British UK skilled worker with a master’s degree, with almost thirty years expertise, who has given away his permanent and contract jobs continuously over the last 15 years to overseas workers due to outsourcing and offshoring and has now lost the will to live in this country anymore.

He is currently barely surviving in London due to high living costs and being forced borrow money from the bank to survive the last six months to keep his dignity and identity intact that has also run out due to the high living costs of London.

His contract being terminated due to no fault of his own, due to the corporate that hired him previously through a preferred UK supplier, getting rid of the preferred supplier to support their global hiring agenda for cheap labour abroad and even building of a tech center abroad spending billions to undercut the UK job market while profiting from the UK. This very same organisation was previously saved by UK taxpayer money. His immediate managers tried their best to extend his contract due to his brilliant work, but the higher ups within the corporate terminated his contract end of October 2024 to follow their global hiring agenda. He was also tied down by his no competition clause introduced by the PSP, after making money for the PSP for almost three years.

This action coincided with the time when the new government hiked employer national insurance, stopping corporates hiring for a few left-over jobs UK jobs in their tracks, crashing the UK job market. While the current elected government say otherwise. He has living proof of this so please do not try and give an eloquent speech on new jobs being created by the new government that do not relate to the desperate working people of this country.

If the current government or any political parties really care for the working people as they claim they would take action to reflect on the actual events that have transpired over the years described above and address the points mentioned immediately. There are so many skilled workers in the UK in the same desperate situation, jobless at the moment due to the selfish actions of a selected and privileged few who have abused their powers to destroy this country and its working people without any moral or ethical obligation or principles. Where they have even trampled the hand that fed, lifted them out of their perils and helped them to prosper in the first place. He is risking his future career prospects by revealing these dark secrets  for the good of this country because he does care for the prosperity and well-being of the country that he was born in though he grew up abroad and have even experienced the perils of civil wars induced by a select few due to their uncivil actions. He hopes that this never happens in the UK. Most people are scared to talk about these issues in case they get blacklisted by organisations and never get hired again, but it is imperative for the survival of the British people that these issues are spoken about while there is still a bit of freedom of speech left in the UK without being given synonyms by a few, for instance being called far right or left. This is not a matter of being far right or far left but British people trying to survive without losing their identity, moral and will to live, when they have been constantly abused by the system controlled by a few. It should be clearly stated that this petition is not against foreign workers at all it’s about creating a level playing field where British workers are not undercut by global conglomerates for cheap labour abroad. In fact, foreign workers are tied down by these same global conglomerates through non-compete clauses.
