    Ex software engineer myself, retired do to disability several years ago.

    To be honest. It was a field with higher left of center views then most. In my 30 year career. I only knew a few right wing programmers. Most were more left then myself. (Blair was a tory stooge to let you know where I stand)

        Hmm. Programming is not really that highly paid in the UK. Have to admit that is why I worked in the US so long.

        But you are sorta correct. And the fact that the UK is relatively badly paid compared to software eng jobs in other nations. Added to the media ideals we have seen since the thatcher years. Is likely way so many of the folks I qualified with left the UK to work.
