well, the company in question will have to prove to the home office that you are more suited to the job than any native. particularly with rising unemployment here in the u.k., it will be a very tough thing to prove.
you can't just be good enough to get the job, you have to be better than any native applicants (they must actually provide the cv/portfolios of at least three other native applicants for the post and then explain why you are better than any of them).
they also then have to pay (both in terms of time and money) for the paperwork and all of the bureaucratic processes, which, again, in this economy is not going to be something they'll do for just anybody.
to be honest with you, as a cold applicant from abroad in this day and age... i don't fancy your chances. but if you're shit hot and they can make back in your cheap salary what they've lost in the process of getting you, you might just be able to pull it off.
