Whoa. What’s so bad about “hiring people from there”? Now that east european skills have left it takes two to three locals to get the same job done, if they even figure out how. Have to bring people with expertise from somewhere. Only issue is that Indians are visa bound and underpaid, unlike east europeans that companies competed for and drove wages up - contrary to what the clay of the land thought.

You highlight a problem with talking about politics online. It seems very easy for people to become emotional with responses like "Whoa. What’s so bad about “hiring people from there”?" and assume a comment is racist rather than assuming the best intentions.

My intention was to highlight how the dynamics between other countries have changed and how the UK seems less independent and less interested in progress all while spending money on war (while aimlessly following the US).

My apologies - it was a knee jerk reaction on my part. I am sorry.

you have not in anyway cleared up why "hiring people from there" is somehow a bad thing, which, yes, is a deeply racist attitude.

Seems like the other commenter was smart enough to understand, if you aren't, that is your problem.
