In the news

^^ whole clamp down on student thing is a massive fail imo.

Of course being a "student" is a good way to get into and remain in the UK. But they're already cutting down on the number of hours they can work (to a ridiculous degree imo).

Policy definitely needs to be handled with care rather than by your marketing/spin/PR department.

My ex was kicked out of the UK for working more hours than she was allowed under a student visa. In fairness, they could quite reasonably have kicked her out because the 'college' she was 'studying' at was a room above a chippy in Hounslow that she couldn't point out on a map. There are stacks of them, each with stacks of 'students', that would be much more appropriate targets than a major uni. But that wouldn't have got the great big 'tough on brownies' headlines this govt wants.
