Il Regno Unito mette un freno di emergenza ai visti di studio per i cittadini di quattro paesi

This doesn’t make sense to me – someone is from a place where it might be reasonable to claim asylum, and they take a legal route to come into the UK, and then also claim asylum on top of that.

If someone is capable of qualifying to take a study visa, or capable of having the right skills to get a work visa, then that means that not only is there a potential for them to have a right to asylum, they’re exactly the sort of person that the UK deems useful to come even if they *didn’t*.

Punishing qualified, economically productive people from taking safe and legal routes to enter the UK, because they might eventually try to claim asylum, doesn’t sound like the kind of thing that would help with the small boats problem.

It’s a step in the right direction. She should have done the same to any country that refuses to take their failed asylum seekers back like Pakistan. She is really starting to grow on me. Her extending indefinite leave to remain to 20 years is possibly the best thing any politician has done in a decades. Shabana is the only member of the labour party that I find tolerable.
