Stupid

Focus is back on immigration, and last week it was announced that in the previous 12 months, 505,000 more arrived in the country than left.

This is with various external issues, Ukraine, etc.

But the focus is now on students.

Foreign students.

I have been writing of this bullshit for long enough to remember comments that it is madness to count students in immigration figures, even if they do end up staying after their course has finished, due to the value they give to the universtity of college they study at, for the rfees they are charged.

In fact, most universities and colleges only are viable due to foreign students. So the Governments "plan" to restrict access to courses for foreign students to non-"rubbish" degrees would put dozens of educational establishments at risk.

But that is where we are, the Government destroying the soft power the UK has. Be it pop music, the BBC or now a home for educating the world.

It would be nice, for once, if the UK Governement stops doing stupid things.
