And I'd be very surprised if anyone has anything fvaoutavble to to say about those cock-ups by the UK authorities.

I go back again to the distinction I made earlier between restrictions which are genuinely designed to reduce risks to the public, and restrictions which are essentially there to provide some kind of cover for the authorities.

Imposing tighter restrictions on people who are going to a country for a limited stay, with the intention of doing some kind of work while they are there rather than merely sightseeing, very evidently does nothing whatsoever to reduce the danger from terrorism. Nor does it do anything to reduce the likelihood of people overstaying.
