Home Office refuses to exempt exceptional students from tough immigration rules

"The home secretary suspended student visas for applicants from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan last week, saying she was “taking the unprecedented decision to refuse visas for those nationals seeking to exploit our generosity"

All outstanding Chevening applications from the four countries were cancelled and candidates informed that their applications had been terminated"

I have literally no words for the vindictive cruelty of this.

@afewbugs clearly those candidates, should they eventually settle in the U.K. and naturalise, are way too smart to vote for Labour. Better not let them in at all.
