i dont know what all the fuss is about. the uk enjoys the worlds biggest services surplus- that means that the money we make from services outsourced here FROM other countries is much much greater than the 'family silver' we sell. so isnt it a little naive of us, of all people to say outsourcing is bad, given the fact that we are the biggest beneficiaries? besides, the functions we export are low end, so its more like we are selling the family's plastic plates and spoons whilst we earn foreign exchange selling high end solutions, such as legal services.
