		<description>Raheela - 

Scum eats Scum - the British govt. is no less SCUM - they always have been and always will be so the only people that can live in Britain now easily and eat up their benefits are other SCUM. 

Imagine if one invests £500,000 building a business, paying taxes and going by the rules - those people are harrassed and mistreated to no end by UK visa authorities but the asylum seekers and sham marriages or students who lie and get into the UK succeed easy because they have no money so they lose no money. And the reason they succeed is because like themselves - the British govt. is also SCUM.. filthy scum.... they deserve each other and i&#039;ve decided to take my money elsewhere. I hope every wealthy person is discouraged from going to the UK and they will collapse like this. British are filthy people who pretend to be nice and tolerant - but they are evil.</description>

		<description>Why does the UK government allow so many immigrants here and let them stay here on marriage visas. They are quick to dish out Indefinite Leave to Remain to fraudulent scum who should live n die in their rotten homelands. They come here marrying unfortunate British girls, only to abandon them even the kids they have with them, soon after they get Indefinite Leave. Then the girl- the victim of this evil trend is forced to rely on benefits. So why are these scum allowed to remain? They come to the UK, have kids to guarentee their stay, up and leave and pass their responsibilities onto the government. Then worst of all they are eligible to apply for British Citizenship in their own right after 5 years. Only people who have something of worth to offer the country should be allowed access to the UK, such as these business people. However, if the government were more stringent when dealing with marriage visas and employed a longer term of limited leave then they would end up shifting thousands of these devils back to the squalor they came from.</description>

		<description>The biggest problem with British people TODAY is - they still think that Britain has an Empire and no immigrants are needed. They live in their &quot;glorified&quot; past even now but forget the fact (or are rather unaware) that throughout history only 5% of the upper classes in Britain controlled the Empire and the rest of 95% British people - all of whom were SUBJECTS of the empire along with the common people in their colonies. 

I also need to state that - the ONLY reason that Britain was able to gain control of India is because they made economic alliances with the Local Maharajas of India who were given full support and protection by the British in return for carrying out trade activities and controlling those parts of India which did not have any direct Indian Royal family ruling it. Its a pure misconception when the majority of British people think they controlled massive countries like India single-handedly and now the british think all Indians were poor and their slaves at one time - so nothing should change even now. Little do they realize that 95% of the British population up until 60 years ago were also slaves to the British empire.. only the 5% upper class ruled the country as late as until the 1970s. 

Anyway - a lot of the racist attitudes and BNP&#039;s popularity has to do with the fact that British public are under the misconception that they ruled the world at one time - so now they cannot stand foreigners coming and living side-by-side with them. Generally the upper class and well-bred British know the difference and are well aware of all that I say above - and they are not at all racist either - rather they hate the same lower class racist brits who keep making such a big deal out of Immigration without realizing how important foreign investment and skilled migration is. They fear foreigners coming over and not only taking up their jobs but also businesses and then employing british people....this is why the majority of them are not in favour of any kind of immigration - skilled or business / investors included - in fact they hate foreigners especially Indians with money the most. This attitude can be changed if they were properly educated about the British empire - sadly the education they recieve is biased and feeds in more nationalistic / racist tendencies amongst the common british people. Poor people also have nothing to be proud of except the achievements of their country (past and present) and that is why they are more anti-immigrant and have more racist / nationalistic tendencies. Do you really think that wealthy Brits are against foreign investors coming to UK?? LOL... they all want us to be there.. and make them wealthier. 

I seriously get very bad treatment by UK Border staff at the airports - and I have lodged several complaints regarding the same - they are jealous of me and one time this officer asked me - &quot;How much money do u have for this trip&quot; - I told him... how much do u need to see in order to be convinced?? Then I said - lets just put it this way... the clothes I&#039;m wearing right now are probably twice the amount of what you earn in an entire year... need I say more??? Believe me - I am not a nasty person but these people are racist and jealous to the core - they see a rich visitor coming in and can&#039;t wait to humiliate us and then let us in. I&#039;ve learnt how to give back the insults to them too - they cannot do anything about it. Do they really need to ask me how much money I have - when I just got off the first class of a very expensive airline and have been to the UK a 100 times before which they can clearly see on their screens??? Any wealthy even &quot;potential&quot; investor will get turned off by this behaviour and never return and seriously never even consider investing in such a country when they are treated so badly despite being regular visitors to UK. I seriously dread coming back to the UK now - I have no desire to be insulted by some low class low life visa officer at the very least UK&#039;s govt. should ensure visitors are treated with a smile - and not as &quot;criminal suspects&quot; the minute they enter the UK... its disgraceful and totally disgusting.</description>

		<description>Forgot to mention - I actually had sent a personal email to the student Immigration Head of UK as well as the British Ambassador to India in regards to a simple solution for identifying genuine students from the fake ones - 

Just make them pay the full course fee upfront before landing in UK and being granted the visa. What most fake students do is - gain entry in the UK then disappear or maintain their student status for a little while then seek jobs. But if you made them pay a full course fee upfront as well as prove they have enough funds to live on - then the more genuine people would only go on student visas. An education in UK Is far cheaper than USA - almost half or in some cases 1/3rd the cost - but if someone can really afford even that much genuinely then they should have no problems paying upfront for a course in the UK in exchange for a hassle free and respectable entry into the country. Yes they might lose half the student applicants in this process - but think about the guaranteed upfront fees that the other half bring into the country and their genuineness in contributing to UK&#039;s economy - they can also put in a clause if the student wishes to abandon their studies they will be refunded the remaining amount - only once their visas are cancelled and they are back in their home country.. I think thats a fair system. As for other genuine students seeking a quality education - at least in India there are world class educational institutions now which accept foreigners as well and cost of living / studying is very low here... genuine students will happily go anywhere in the world for an education - its the fake ones who target countries like UK and Australia for a free ride and easy jobs working illegally...sorry I have no pity for them because they ruin everything for the rest of us and give everyone else a bad name.</description>

		<description>My Dear &quot;Millionaire_Wannabe&quot;, 

First of all - I don&#039;t really go by what the media, press and websites say - most of my anger and frustration is out of my own PERSONAL experiences dealing with British people and UK immigration staff etc. 

If you saw the way I looked - firstly I don&#039;t look asian or Indian - there are many &quot;caucasian&quot; Indians too - in fact more than a 100 million in the north are ethnically Caucasians. I have blue eyes and very white skin and yes light browish / blonde hair as well - no one really thinks I am an Indian but I don&#039;t look &quot;Anglo-Saxon&quot; either. At best I look italian and greek to most people.. some even say French but in UK I certainly look like a &quot;foreigner&quot;. 

Now - my problems with UK immigration staff are due to the fact they see my Indian Passport and start making all their assumptions - socially unless I tell people I am Indian - I don&#039;t usually face any discrimination on my visits to London (and i&#039;ve been coming there since I was 2 years old). I know the UK very well as a country and it has changed a lot in the past 5 years particularly. They were accepting of wealthy indians in the Past... my family has had a 100 yr travel history to the UK and none of us faced any issues up until recent times. The racism and xenophobia in Britain has gone out of control now. 

Here is what I propose to stop all this hatred and control immigration - 

1) Immediately stop accepting any further Asylum applications to the UK. Why should any country in the world - let alone a wealthy western power accept Asylum seekers so openly?? In fact the entire Asylum system is Unfair - think about it - a few people run away and seek asylum - when the majority of others in their position are stuck in their oppressive home countries - so isn&#039;t the UK being unfair to those stuck in their oppressive countries by giving asylum to the few who escaped?? Why are these people coming to UK in the first place?? Why dont they go to a country like Australia which has plenty of land and lack of population or to Canada - the UK is too small and I agree a bit overcrowded already. Why don&#039;t they even go to eastern european countries and seek asylum there?? The very fact they come to UK is because they want a Free ride and free benefits nothing else - in my opinion the doors to Asylum seekers should be indefinitely closed for Britain and other larger countries which can accomodate more people should be opened up for these people. Another idea would be to liase with the Canadian or Australian govt. to send Asylum seekers over there if they land on UK soil - and let them go through a legal process to gain lawful residence and be law abiding citizens of those countries instead. 

2) Deport every immigrant immediately who has commited a serious offence in the UK - such as murder, rape, etc. I am extremely against such people living in the UK.

3) Just by taking care of the above 2 - UK will have solved more than half of its immigrant issues. Now I do propose controlled immigration for skilled people and businessmen as well as wealthy foreigners who just want to live in UK and spend their foreign earned income. France, Spain, Italy etc. all offer what is called &quot;Non-Lucrative&quot; visas to foreigners of independant means. The UK does this too - but they want us to invest £1 million in useless 1-2% yielding govt. bonds or unit trusts and lock that money away for 5 years. They won&#039;t even allow that investment in property. Is this a fair system?? On one hand they give free housing, free passports, and free food to Asylum seekers and criminals - while on the other hand they want wealthy investors to lock up a £1 million bucks for 5 years in useless investments and on top of that pay hefty taxes???? Its the stupidest policy in the world. France, Spain and Italy - only require proof of funds and foreign income to offer this kind of a visa - there is no ridiculous investment requirement. At the very least UK should reduce this amount to £500k - as this is a reasonable amount for anyone to live 10 years in the UK without having to work and be a burden on the system. Foreigners with money bring much more to the economy than average people understand - we come there to spend our money without earning anything... we spend in local businesses, services, going out and partying, shopping etc... all things which are important for an economy to grow. If laws for wealthy foreigners are also made so tuff and we are treated the same way as asylum seekers and illegal students then is that fair to us????? cmon... really.

Overall the entire immigration policy in UK is flawed at the moment - they want more and more people to come and live temporarily which will keep fueling their system - however they dont realize that as and when people get aware of this &quot;temporary&quot; user immigration policy - far less will be willing to come or even try to immigrate to UK - except for the same criminal minded, or desperate asylum seekers who have nothing to lose by going to britain but a lot to gain for free. 

The quality of IMMIGRANTS UK gets depends on the type they are attracting right now with their messed up immigration policies - if they made it easier and more welcoming for independantly wealthy foreigners who just want to buy nice houses and bring foreign income into UK - it would only benefit everyone. Also wealthy foreigners who want to move to UK want to do so because they enjoy the way of life there and wish to be part of it - the poor ones who move have no interest in british culture or way of life and just want the money and they want british people to change their way of life to suit the foreigners instead. 

The current British immigration policies are complete utter nonsense - they are only in place to show the world that UK is a nice tolerant country - when the reality is this system is only aimed at making money and disrespecting everyone from students to skilled migrants and even investors. The bloody visa officers at embassies around the world do not see any difference between different categories of immigrants - they see us all the same dirty way.. they hate us and they look for little reasons to reject us to take out their frustrations... and yes they are doing this to investors too.. believe me. Most investors and rich people dont have the patience to deal with the system and just go to easier countries. France has never treated me this way, neither has italy... they are far more accepting and tolerant.. they see the money and give us a visa in 2 minutes as opposed to the British who make our lives hell for months.. and even if after that we get a visa to UK - the entire experience is so bad that the charm no longer stays and we just decide to move on to better places. 

I really don&#039;t think I want to come back again - I&#039;ll miss selfridges and harvey nichols as well as having tea at the claridges or lunch at the Dorchester... but i&#039;ll survive without all that....</description>

<p>Overall the entire immigration policy in UK is flawed at the moment &#8211; they want more and more people to come and live temporarily which will keep fueling their system &#8211; however they dont realize that as and when people get aware of this &#8220;temporary&#8221; user immigration policy &#8211; far less will be willing to come or even try to immigrate to UK &#8211; except for the same criminal minded, or desperate asylum seekers who have nothing to lose by going to britain but a lot to gain for free. </p>
<p>The quality of IMMIGRANTS UK gets depends on the type they are attracting right now with their messed up immigration policies &#8211; if they made it easier and more welcoming for independantly wealthy foreigners who just want to buy nice houses and bring foreign income into UK &#8211; it would only benefit everyone. Also wealthy foreigners who want to move to UK want to do so because they enjoy the way of life there and wish to be part of it &#8211; the poor ones who move have no interest in british culture or way of life and just want the money and they want british people to change their way of life to suit the foreigners instead. </p>
<p>The current British immigration policies are complete utter nonsense &#8211; they are only in place to show the world that UK is a nice tolerant country &#8211; when the reality is this system is only aimed at making money and disrespecting everyone from students to skilled migrants and even investors. The bloody visa officers at embassies around the world do not see any difference between different categories of immigrants &#8211; they see us all the same dirty way.. they hate us and they look for little reasons to reject us to take out their frustrations&#8230; and yes they are doing this to investors too.. believe me. Most investors and rich people dont have the patience to deal with the system and just go to easier countries. France has never treated me this way, neither has italy&#8230; they are far more accepting and tolerant.. they see the money and give us a visa in 2 minutes as opposed to the British who make our lives hell for months.. and even if after that we get a visa to UK &#8211; the entire experience is so bad that the charm no longer stays and we just decide to move on to better places. </p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t think I want to come back again &#8211; I&#8217;ll miss selfridges and harvey nichols as well as having tea at the claridges or lunch at the Dorchester&#8230; but i&#8217;ll survive without all that&#8230;.</p>

		<description>I&#039;m a business person, I&#039;m not part of the British government or anything with an agenda. I just say it how I see it.

So why would I delete your comments?

Take a look at the comments at http://www.general-election-2010.co.uk/ and you&#039;ll see I don&#039;t delete comments I disagree with, I debate with them, it&#039;s fun and interesting to do so.

		<description>There has been a tightening on issuing student visas to the UK because of widespread abuse. Many so called students (really illegal immigrants) pay a small amount of money for false documentation to educational institutions that either don&#039;t exist or do exist, but some within them are abusing their position to make money selling documents to people who want to live in Britain to work.

What exactly do you want Britain to do with regards to illegal immigrants who found a quick loop hole to gain access to the UK to work illegally by buying fake documents to prove they are studying here?

The student visa issuing was a big problem, it&#039;s been tightened up recently and I&#039;m sure mistakes will be made, however your example blog page above only has a few comments from people who were rejected for a UK visa and a couple of &quot;I saw someone deported at a UK airport who seemed legitimate&quot;. The site you linked to is far from proof of a widespread problem.

The British government (the Labour one) wants foreign investors, skilled migrant workers and foreign students to enter Britain since it&#039;s good for our economy. Unfortunately there&#039;s the perception that the media propagates (it&#039;s news) that immigration is out of control and the British people have to some degree turned on immigrants.

It&#039;s not racism though since they have the same problem with Polish immigrants that are white. There are areas in Britain where the number of immigrants has been too high and it&#039;s caused strains on public services and strains between the different cultures. Had the Labour government controlled immigration better over the past decade or so we wouldn&#039;t have this problem now.

I will say there&#039;s an increasing religious and cultural intolerance developing in Britain against Islam/Muslims which far-right groups are trying to foster to benefit from politically (to some degree it&#039;s working, but the recent general election shows not much though: the BNP didn&#039;t get a single MP).

The problem we have is like with all religions and cultures there are extremes, there&#039;s extremist Christians and there are extremist Muslims. In part because of the Iraq and Afghan wars there&#039;s been an increase in extremist religious activity in the form of terrorist acts against Britain like 7/7 (though no where near as bad as what the IRA did).

So we are seeing a tendency towards religious discrimination in Britain, but the vast majority of Britain is very tolerant of other cultures and religions and although the British government has gone way over the top on &#039;protecting us&#039; with draconian measures eroding our civil liberties, that&#039;s not the true face of tolerant/multicultural Britain.

I don&#039;t see an Asian man with a back pack and immediately think Islamic terrorist with a bomb! Despite the perception given by the media that there&#039;s an Islamic terrorist in ever Mosque, the actual number of attacks on Britain is very low considering we are at war with Afghanistan .

		<description>One more thing - British people are &quot;closet&quot; racists - they will pretend to be open and tolerant and accepting but in reality they are very racist deep inside hating and harbouring even evil thoughts about immigrants. Ask any foreigner living in UK how much racism they face everyday - and only the desperate ones are staying there or wanting to move there now. People like me give a rats ass about the UK and will take our money where we are respected and treated like Human beings. I swear even when I&#039;ve been to the UK on a bloody visit visa - I was interrogated like a criminal at the airports despite the fact they saw my financial statements and had fully verified everything before even giving me a visit visa. They asked me even ridiculous questions like &quot;how does a person from India habe so much money??&quot; and I replied back &quot;India has always had money - you stole most of it during the 400 years of exploitation and looting your country carried out in India&quot;. Its a fact - India was the richest country in the world up until the 17th century when the British took over and destroyed it...but don&#039;t worry we are well back on track and look whats happening to UK.  

This is how they treat even investors - constantly suspicious and degrading people - they let you in but after they fully humiliate you and treat u like a dog at the border control desk....and no they are not at all polite - they are horrible. UK is an awful country to do business - whoever says its a welcoming environment for investors is LYING.</description>

		<description>http://blog.dawn.com/2009/10/07/the-line-after-the-visa/ 

Now please do tell - are all the people posting comments to that blog liars?? And you brits are the only honest people left in the world now?? Think about this now - why would most people apply for a UK visa in the first place?? Because all around the world UK visas are a HUGE Business - lying and attracting innocent students, visitors and entrepreneurs - then treating them all like dogs upon arrival or rejecting them and stealing their money by charging ridiculously high application fees (non-refundable). Don&#039;t worry - the entire world has a very low opinion of UK now and its only getting worse - only EU citizens are allowed free entry into UK and we all know how economically strong the EU is nowadays... soon those will also go back or stop coming in so your wishes will be granted and you can have your country all back to yourselves... good luck!!!

I hope the day comes when every british traveling abroad is treated the same way as foreigners going to UK are treated. Britian is a disgraceful country with a shameless population of very hateful people - beware of going there for business - they only want your Money - not you!!!</description>
