    "Applicants do not have to have a job before arriving in the UK, and there is no minimum salary attached to the visa. However, the passport holders must be able to support themselves financially and will not qualify for benefits."



    2nd class British citizens then?

    So all China needs to do is take all money from those trying to get the hell out of there and voila - no means to support themselves.

        Shades of Uganda, all over again.

        Still, we offered you refuge when you fled your responsibilities to the glorious motherland.

            I'm sure they would do a great job of rebuilding Swindon.

              So pretty much the same as people with EU Freedom Of Movement had to go to certain other countries who've signed up for it.

              Er, yes. But then, they always have been. Now they've just got easier entry to the UK, so it's an improvement.

              The smart ones already have funds abroad.

                  Judging by potholes in the roads around me it seems that there are nightly raids on Coventry.

                  Either that or Great Britain lacks whatever it is necessary to deal with potholes
