You can add exemptions to immigration rules for different groups, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. When you say that migrants are second class and "less than" others, as this government is doing, that feeds through to everyone. Migrants aren't a disposable resource to pick and choose from.

Holding a climate summit in the tropics would seem to be a good idea. But this month’s COP30 conference—in a Brazilian city considered the gateway to the Amazon—didn’t account for the rain.

Is it because the story just hasn’t died off in the ‘Left leaning’ media (as is typically the case when the BBC smothers a story)?
