I'm not really sure what to think of this, as it still split immigrants (like me) into a "special" category, how about...those areas get funds anyway.
And how about we are all human give the tax cash I pay to people that need it, that's what its for! Do they really think immigrants think "hm yeah dunno I don't want to pay tax that goes to these Brits/NI ones".
On the other hand it -may- defuse the constant anti immigration rhetoric, which should have been fought from the start, but perhaps this is the imperfect solution for an imperfect world that is needed.
The UK is positive about immigration atm it seems 2 years of hearing stories about refugees/EU immigrants stuck with Brexit/the unfair income rules for spouses from non EU countries etc have changed people's minds.
So good news, just annoying Westminster seems to be slow to pick it up.
