We've always allowed relatives and 'friends' of the most appalling despots to come to Britain for 'education' and medical treatment, even to do a little shopping. Whether that does any good in the long-term is entirely debatable.Unsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307116169498533047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-83187379133865466332007-03-27T08:36:00.000+01:002007-03-27T08:36:00.000+01:00As a side to this story, I wonder if anyone in the...As a side to this story, I wonder if anyone in the UK is aware of the scandal that has been raging in the EU for a couple of years now about the rights of ANY EU student to enroll at a University of their choice in any EU country. In Austria currently we have the situation that students from Germany have been enrolling at our universities on an EU first come, first served basis. In some universities Austria is paying for more than 50% of students from Germany. I reckon it's only a matter of time before the UK will wake up to universities full of Irish, Polish, and Romanian students. The stupid part of all this that the students must not have residency in the target country. Totally idiotic laws, ill thought out and applied by morons.Vienna Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957194230173008975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-86803353984507912222007-03-27T08:30:00.000+01:002007-03-27T08:30:00.000+01:00Anon 9:46Can you give us a link please?By the way,...Anon 9:46<BR/><BR/>Can you give us a link please?<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'll be posting a possible explaination of how Zim officials are evading the travel ban on The Remittance Man Blog this evening for those who are interested.The Remittance Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104149259707414863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-66757133179386404722007-03-27T07:00:00.000+01:002007-03-27T07:00:00.000+01:00I thought several of Mugabe's henchmen had childre...I thought several of Mugabe's henchmen had children at English public school. <BR/><BR/>Visas are obviously forthcoming.
