Cokanasiga Snr stuck in Fiji because of immigration rules

Post by Puja »

So, he served in the British Army for decades and had indefinite leave to remain because of that, but after being honourably discharged from the army that right is automatically revoked and he has to jump through the hoops same as anyone else applying for permanent right to reside? And a multitude of Fijian soldiers are saying that no-one told them about this; it was just implied that they would be able to stay without problem?

This government. Smdh. He'll probably be okay because he's got famous sons, but I wonder how many Fijian servicemen (who were deliberately recruited by the army, presumably cause they are happier with the wage than the average Brit) will be given short shrift by the hostile environment.

Same shit as the Gurkhas, and barely even any pro Tory, pro military anti-immigration types are against allowing a right to be in the UK in instances such as this. Feck only knows what they think they're achieving

It’s fecking ridiculous and absurd but could you move it to a relevant board, please. I come on the EMB as an escape from work and politics.

it's all fine distinctions. Any anyway, with coronavirus possibly ending live sports we'll need something to talk about

though maybe with 14 days self isolation I'll get around to finishing the Wales minute by minute, what will you do with your 14 days?
