The point here is that the UK finds itself hoist by the petard of international treaty. I'd rather we lived up to our commitments and be trusted than otherwise.

Btw, if the UK is swamped with refugees from communist China oppression, then might we need to relabel that stupid word "BAME" - add a few letters, signs and numbers, perhaps in ideogram form?
In fairness there’s no way the Government would make the offer without sitting down and having some kind of stab at how many would be likely to come, their background, education, existing means.

While he’s quite cynical about it, there’s an element of reward in PR terms (for anyone in any line of work) in being seen to make a generous offer that nobody will take up.
