Quote Chris28
Good point. I would hope that the UKBA would at least attempt to be consistent, otherwise why refuse the original visa? If I'd gone to the trouble of refusing a "bad lad" in Australia to "protect the UK" I'd be annoyed if some doofus at an airport didn't at least check up on the reasons for the refusal and not just overrule my decision.'"
surely his next application should be judged on its own merits, not on the decision previously made (even without getting into the differences)
and in SL only, we can see numerous examples of people worse than bird being allowed in, if the news reports are to be believed and it is only the change in interpretation in canberra that has changed, and everywhere else is the same, you would expect him to be allowed in would you not?
Quote Chris28He would fall to be refused for the same reasons - nothing has affected the reason for the original refusal (if it was for what we think
)'"
im not asking whether he would or wouldnt, im asking whether or not you would think it made a mockery of the system to allow him over here to compete in the 4nations, but not allow him to move over here
Quote Chris28Olympics over RL? I can't really see this being a political issue at the highest level tbh, but I take your point'"
im sure the French politions wouldnt mind scoring a few points out of it, it would surely be easier politically just to let him in and have done with it
