And I could answer easily...the only authority that can allow visas to this country are the Government of the UK..that means every visa.....citizens of the USA, Canada, Africa,Austrailia, ...on and on..Pakistan or any Nation cannot give out visas.. and Visas for education were at an all time high in the early 80's ...I would have thought someone as learned as yourself Jaysay would have known ...just a bit blinkered eh?

Times have changed Mancie, in the 80s students wanted to come here to learn not to blow the living daylights out of use. The issuing of visas is a two way effort, we issue the visa the country of origin provide the background information, I know the hoops my daughter had to go through to get her visas for Thailand, China, and Vietnam. If governments can't do this then its better to be safe than sorry, better to withhold 10,000 visas than to let people through under false pretenses, which eventually causes the death of British citizens. We also didn't have 250000 asylum (benefit tourist) seekers back in the 80s neither, which is also a drain on our vetting systems. Its always better to look at the whole picture, rather just from a one sided slanted perspective

Apparently the Father of one of those arrested has been speaking in Pakistan saying that he cannot believe he's a terrorist and that he's innocent. He says he knows him well, (hope so he's his Dad!), he's an Avid Cricketer, and whats more they never discussed The Taliban in their house!!...Phew, thats made me rest easier now!!:rolleyes:

Re: Police Chief quits over Terror Bungle
 

If I remember rightly Taggy, didn't the families of the people who committed the London Bombings say exactly the same. Don't suppose kids when they are growing up, sitting round the dinner table, just pipe up and say, "oh by the way I've decided on my career I'm going to be a Bank Robber, or a Porn Star" Do parents actually know for sure just what their kids are thinking and planning, well I'm a Father and I haven't got a clue and never have had, I'm not a mind reader or are other parents for that matter.:rolleyes:
