Shape of things to come?
BBC: Foreign student visas to be cut by UK
"The number of visas granted to students from outside the EU is to be cut in a crackdown on abuses of the system, UK Home Secretary Alan Johnson has said."
NewLab trying winking at all those right wing undecided voters? I'd expect areas like the South East (Brighton is a big one) to suffer from this as language schools/colleges will be affected. TBH this is silly as most overseas students are rich! Anyway, less students means less work for language schools, and less request for rented accommodation (rents to come down) or host families. Not good for all those who heavily rely on students to boost their income and scrape through their mortgage payments. BTLs won't love this.
Tories will be even more severe on this, as recently announced...
