jac_the_gripper: A few years back there was a purge of foreigners round here.
The bit I heard about involved not renewing visas for a lot of academics. It involved the interruption of significant and funded research projects contributed to by specialists from all over the world.
Freezing bank accounts holding significant sums sounds like going for easy targets to boost statistics, without the consequence necessarily being at all beneficial to the country.
Like the Cardiff schoolboy who was dragged out of class by police on his last day with his peers before returning to his home country with his parents the following day, I wonder what resources and inhumanities will be expended in packing people off who are already packed for the off.
The Welsh had a cracking system for deterring the English and getting them out of Wales ...
They went round burning down their houses
Best Idea Mrs May could have suggested to her then would be ... subcontract "The Job" to The Welshies ?
