It seems the British Government want to abolish the rule whereby the New Zealand ancestors of UK residents born in the UK can live and work in the UK for up to four years without any qualifications or work experience.
Well, I say good for them, the British Government, that is.
After the hoops we had to jump through to get our New Zealand residence visas in 2004 why should it be easier for kiwis to go to the UK just because their Grandparents were born there.
If my Grandparents had been born in New Zealand then emigrated to England I would have had no automatic visa rights at all so why should it work the other way?
Its also true to say that the 'returning Kiwis' who have enjoyed earning and stashing away the high UK wages have been a big factor in ensuring house prices in New Zealand continue to be ridiculously inflated.
So there!!
