No.
All IT jobs in the UK have been taken. And IT industry in the UK is in decline. Companies are not hiring IT skilled workers. And those who are hiring are only looking for people who are British Citizens. Makes life easier for them. No immigration controls.
If you were a builder, or plumper, or electrician. Someone with practical skills you will find work. For IT jobs. No. Very little work.

The UK needs to shed its protectionist attitude if it wants IT industry to succeed was the opinion of majority in a technology conference in UK.
According to the CEO of UK software giant Autonomy, Mike Lynch, the UK must work towards throwing open of the UK visas for high-skilled foreign professionals in order to boost creation of IT employment in the nation.
He said that this would be the key to generating higher number of entry-level jobs employment in the UK. He continued to say that it is not in the interest of the UK economy to go for insular purchasing since the economy of the UK is export-driven.
In view of this, the prospects of IT professionals seem promising in UK.
