But why should they if they don't think it's worth it? It is a bit ruch really - they set up an obstacle course which could be designed to put people off the idea of going to the States,and then when people decide they won't be bothered, they get criticised for that.

Here's a piece about it from a Daily Telegraph website - the Daily Telegraph being the housesheet of Conservatism, the guys who think the current Tory Party is far too far over to the Left. Here

Here's a quote from that whch brings out soemthing missed so far:

"Nor can they just catch the dawn train to Euston en masse and turn up at mid-morning. Each person has to make his or her own separate appointment first, by phone - on that nightmare line that costs £1.30 a minute.

Why bother indeed?
