It's getting harder!!!Rover8098 Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2007 7:58 pm Post subject: Proposed government changes for UK tourist visas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been in the news all day today and yesterday (if you haven't read it, click http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7146527.stm )
I think it's a joke to penalise genuine visitors, especially family members of British Citizens/long-term residents of the UK.
What do you think? What's your view?
It's not written on anybody's face nor do they carry a certificate which mentions they are genuine visitor's.Rover8098 wrote:I think it's a joke to penalise genuine visitors, especially family members of British Citizens/long-term residents of the UK.
As far as I see, as soon as one or two dishonest people abuse the system, everyone is made to pay in the UK, when it would be far fairer to catch these people. It's the old school mentality: someone writes a nasty anonymous letter to the headmaster? Simple: don't waste time and energy trying to identify the culpit, just punish all the pupils. In this case it's far more unfair in that the legitimate visitor cannot possibly get his own back on the dishonest one.That's what happens, a few abuse the system and everybody else is penalised for their deeds.
