Humphrey Appleby 13,984 Posted January 28, 2014 All this is the practical reality of 'pulling up the drawbridge' as plenty advocate on another thread. If immigration is supposed to be made more difficult, then there's no real reason why speedway should be exempt. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sotonian 610 Posted January 28, 2014 Immigration is permanent and a different argument altogether. This is about temporary working visas. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can come here but a foreign national from outside the eu cannot work without a work visa. Edited January 28, 2014 by A ORLOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted January 28, 2014 Not long ago it was put out that a group of MPs and a couple of promoters had set up meetings to help speedway in this country. Would this group have any clout with the people who issue visas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried getting a visa to work in Australia? Yet we let any Aussie speedway rider in. Not long ago it was put out that a group of MPs and a couple of promoters had set up meetings to help speedway in this country. Would this group have any clout with the people who issue visas?

A lot of immigrants are temporary workers, and I'm sure many on the other thread would advocate pulling up the drawbridge on them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humphrey Appleby 13,984 Posted January 28, 2014 So we are treating these bloody Europeans better than our GOOD FRIENDS from Australia, New Zealand. I think that the percentage of those in Australia who are ethnically non-British or Irish now exceeds those who are. So they're 'bloody Europeans' if they come to the UK directly from 'Europe' but automatically our good friends if they go via Australia... In fact, a lot if the problem with work permits and the like is because fewer Australians have British patriality these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
