I don't think its fair to band about hardship faced by the currently employed and their dependents and in the same breath suggest a lot of newly qualified guys shouldn't be given a nod.

I must admit, I'd prefer it if the UK industry was protected a bit more for UK citizens as it seems to be in every other European state (even though its illegal to openly admit it, they get round it).
It may be of use with this thread if all posters form now state if they are employed by either MYT or TCX as it adds a level of credibility to their argument (as in the case of Seven Fifty Seven).
Me, I'm employed by neither.
