i thought that when I heard! That's the consequences of going to war with a country because they won't let you sell their population heroin!
It only applies to people who were born before 1997 so many of them will be knocking on and have families in HK that aren't eligible so 3 million eligible but I don't think the uptake will be anywhere near that.
I think we have a duty. We are certainly not going to consider scuppering trade links with China are we.
More bloody foreigners though. What are frothy mouths going to say?

Given net migration to the UK in 2018 was just over 250k, we could see a dramatic increase in that.

It won’t be the brutal Chinese regimes fault it will be the British empire for taking it in the first place
Are you worried about being swamped?
Bad news is it is possible to be born before 1997 and not be old. Still, as has already been pointed out earlier on, fruit picking problem solved.

A bit like the 20k asylum seekers we granted protection to last year. Bit of an increase from that to 3 million, admittedly, but same principle. It's pretty awful in the Lebanon too, Syria, Sudan...
Yes, but if it was open to younger residents I think there'd be a bigger uptake.
Many of those eligible will have family there who can't come to the UK so I'd imagine they wouldn't want to leave them. Many of those eligible will also have the option of going to other countries.
I don't think we'll see anywhere near 3 million.

You look at immigration from any method or reasoning and the majority are young and mobile whether they be students, professionals, illegal immigrants or asylum seekers. Not exclusively a young person’s game but by far the majority. In a nutshell I think you’re right. The numbers who take up won’t be the full number of those eligible. By any stretch.

You're right. We have a negligible number come into this country in normal times, but some people still seem to get upset about that.
No it’s not the same as China are breaching a specific agreement made between the two countries at handover

It is the same.
We offer humanitarian support to people we consider need it.
Just we're scaling it up rather from next to nothing.
To something.
Yeeesssss !!!!!!
It's the EU thread reignited all over again. Which side started it this time ?
Well that should cheer up all the people who are outraged we can't let cheap labour from Europe come and do it.
We wiped our hands with the Hong Kong problem, it's only right they should be allowed to try and settle here if they have a connection. If we gave up Gibralta, would we turn them away?
Nice one Reg, and I always love your avatar. Don't ever change it.
