    We know it's tulip due the "skills shortage" in IT and in Indian restaurants.

      Yet THIS poor woman's sister is not being allowed in to give her a potentially life-saving bone marrow transplant.
      Disgraceful!

        Strange article. Goes from non-EU immigration to EU immigration and back again, says twice that that organisations have been "granted visas", when they've been given a license to sponsor visas. I guess DM readers don't know the difference between EU immigration (potentially stopped by Brexit) and non-EU (unaffected), and a visa and a license.

        And of course, it's got nothing to do with ICT.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          It happened before with a Jamaican guy who needed a transplant, and the only perfect match was a relation from Jamaica with a young child.

          The UK government was embarrassed into allowing her in by the media. It helped that the church and a charity funded her stay.

          The home office do it all the time.

            sadly so, we should be able to be compassionate without being shafted.

            Unfortunately having met a few overstayers it seems a popular route in.

                    Surprised, because I thought would be the other way around.
