Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.

Hunts still shoot healthy hounds when they don’t make the grade.
It’s cruel, lazy, and unnecessary, these dogs can be rehomed.
