Double Standards

As British Citizens the situation at the moment is one of double standards.

Large corporations are allowed to outsource work to take advantage of cheaper labour in the Global market.

At the same time, individuals are forced to pay subsidies on online purchases(Recent CD WOW settlement and others) to protect the large corporations from competition of cheaper prices on the Global market.

Outsourcing is effectively virtual labour importation and should be heavily taxed.
