Shouldn't be any visa fees for those who have served the country, be that the forces, NHS, etc. "Two MPs are trying to force the government to waive visa fees for foreign citizens who served in the military and want to remain in the UK. Visas for foreigners who served in UK armed forces currently cost £2,389. Labour's Dan Jarvis and Conservative Johnny Mercer, both Army veterans, put forward an amendment to the Immigration and Borders Bill to scrap the fees for those with five years' service. They said ministers must look after those who loyally serve the nation. Dependents of former servicemen and women also have to pay the fees, meaning it can cost a family of four nearly £10,000 to stay. In 2020, there were 5,110 Commonwealth citizens serving in the armed forces. Every year around 500 leave and those who choose to stay in the UK must pay the visa fee. The government has promised to address the issue and launched a consultation earlier this year. It proposed scrapping the fees for those who had completed 12 years' service in the armed forces. But it would not apply to their family members or be applied retrospectively." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59526516

I wonder if Grant Shapps or George Eustace will be put up, or whether Allegra Stratton will 'resign' by PMQs.

Apparently Sajid Javid withdrew from an interview this morning. PMQs will be interesting if nothing is said by then.

Liars , cheats , racists , idiots It's worse than Thatcher, but due to Johnson hiding behind the 'Boris' disguise it's all ok because he means well. He's quietly shutting down the right to protest but gets away with it because it might slow down the traffic. We're mostly too privileged to care and so long as poverty, pandemics, corruption and inequality don't touch us then we're sound.

It's been lonely in here. Lurking, mostly, but I'm getting increasingly vocal in various appropriate/inappropriate circles. I'm just getting angrier I suppose but it's feeling futile. I work for NHS, classed as frontline but the apathy from many colleagues is depressing but probably not all that surprising. The saddest bit for me, on the subject of the latest disgrace of the Tories, is that any restrictions that may well need to be brought in for public safety won't be due to it highlighting the obvious hypocrisy. And more people will die because of that. People just want their Christmas, and please 'Boris' grant it to us. People are bored of the pandemic, it's too inconvenient and we've stayed in for a bit already. I genuinely hate to say it, but we're getting the Government we deserve
