British xenophobe and racist policy against immigrants --Say NO to charges!

British xenophobe and racist policy against immigrants --Say NO to charges!
Abolish Visa Renewal Charges for International Students!
Abolish Visa Renewal Charges for all Immigrants in the UK!

According to a document of the British Home Office Department of State, Consultation
Review of charges for immigration applications, September 2004, the UK government displays an obscene xenophobe and racist proposal against all immigrants living already in the Uk or that plan to come to the UK. They pretend to increase a 958.3 % of the fees to all immigrants! If nationals process a Leave to remain in their home countries will cost £ 36 GBP, but with the new fee they will have to pay £ 345, that is, a 958.3 % increase of the fee in any British Embassy or Consulate abroad! Stop the British Nazi policies!

Inspector Norman Cox who had £750.000 of cash that his brother had earnt from his own private "Slave trade"
gets' of with a warning The spokesman stressed that "there was no suggestion Mr Cox had been directly involved in the money laundering operation". Well naturally whats the big three quarters of a million quid stashed in his back garden which was found by a special team from Kent investigating a mega money laundering scam which just happened to be run by his brother and nephew.
