Camerons battles backlash from controversial outsourcing deal

With no offence intended, the job market in London tends to be tight and you often pay over the odds for "less able" employees (basic supply and demand), as anybody remotely competent can find a better paid job at your competitors. London (and maybe the SE) is quite unique in this regard. The rest of the UK being quite the opposite. It seems quite reasonable for a firm to outsource this “balance of power” issue to an external firm – let the wage inflation be their problem.
