    1. Are you from Europe?

    Yes, welcome in.

    2. Are you from outside Europe?

    Yes, you are studying English at an approved School? Welcome in?


    3. You are from outside Europe and you don't have any good reason to be here?

    Yes, your country of origin is very nasty, you are seeking asylum, welcome in.

    4. You are from outside Europe and you don't have any good reason to be here and your country of origin is very nice?

    Yes, how about a holiday visa, welcome in.
    Sounds like a good BTL formula. BOOMED!

    You and your new money don't impress me, no sireee.

    Takes centuries of inbreeding to produce a truly dim species of Homo Sapiens, before it'll impress the likes of me. You're pretty close though, some might even say you've got a natural advantage ...

    Tom White's family has been selling land in Lincolnshire for three generations and he has seen the influx at first hand.

    "Over the last two years I've sold just 12% of the land on our books to UK farmers.

    "The rest has gone to overseas buyers, mainly from Ireland and Denmark, and the rest to investors who have made their money outside agriculture," he says.

    Curious as to whether you have elderly parents, or ever had to take care of an elderly sick person ?
