The latest Tory betrayal? Seems probably. Shouldn’t even be possible to contemplate it. But this is Boris Johnson. He is an open borders activist. It’s being presented as a geopolitical stratagem (as if concerns about China’s intent on India matters a solitary damn to the true people of this land) and also a time-limited settlement plan (as if they will ever willingly return home). Our defender is the Indian Home Secretary, apparently?

Having around 10000 French people living in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea did little to affect British lives , except perhaps to improve the quality of the districts restaurants. 5

Reducing the overall level of immigration was a central part of the Leave campaign but it will not happen if the government continues to make it easier to acquire visas. Having said that, I do accept that it’s unfair that Indians have to pay considerably more for a visa than the Chinese. In the name of equity the Chinese should have to pay more. It goes without saying that the European of tomorrow will not be the same as the European of today (and this is particularly true of the French). Last May Patel signed a reciprocal Migration and Mobility Partnership with India’s External Affairs Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, to allow around 3,000 students and professionals a years work experience in either country, with a start date in April 2022. It’s likely that Patel doesn’t support the government’s visa plans as the Partnership deal would become largely redundant. 6
Posted by Al Ross on Thu, 06 Jan 2022 08:00 | # There is no need for Indians to come and live in UK. The Left’s rationale for New Commonwealth immigration is that we colonized their countries so this influx is reciprocal payback. This is just plain wrong as there was no White Settler colonialism in India . There was , however , Imperial Presence which, by the time of India’s independence in 1947, had taken a large group of ethnically disparate states with mutually unintelligible languages and welded them into a cartographical facsimile of European political modernity.

Visas being on the table during trade negotiations with India was discussed when Johnson was still pro-Huawei and before IDS led back benchers in persuading Boris to ditch China and make MAGA.
Narendra Modi may well be ambivalent about the proposals. On the one hand, he will not welcome young Hindu post graduates returning from the UK as rabid progressive liberals who hate traditionalism and want to change everything. On the other hand, he may well view the visa scheme as a vehicle for permanently reducing the size of his country’s Muslim population.
As for Cruella, it can’t be easy having a mandate from the British public to reduce immigration when you are the Home Secretary of a government hell bent on increasing it. No wonder she appears inept.
