In reply to Galahad Threepwood.

Largely forgotten now but back in the early 2000s there was an influx of workers with IT skills from Australia and New Zealand. The money they earned in the UK was worth far more back home which meant they could be happily employed for less than the Brits. The fact that they were mainly limited to 2 year work visas was also attractive to employers – not every boss wants the burden of long term staff. I worked with a few myself and found them surprisingly entitled and arrogant. I get the impression that every immigrant from whatever country feels they have the right to despise the Brits.
