OT: All for the love of Chess
So a 9 year old Indian lad who is believed to be the finest young Chess player in the world is to be allowed to stay in the UK after all.
His dad's visa, which was about to be time-expired, has been revoked thus allowing the child to stay in the UK and doubtless get access to British citizenship.
Isn't this creeping nepotism? We'll keep the good ones but the others can go scratch.
One of the problems with the attitude of those who want to pick and choose the best of brains from other countries is that they are lessening the chances of poorer economies improving themselves. In fact it's not dissimilar to what goes on in football whereby the rich boys swoop on the poor clubs and snap up their talent. Something most on here despise - look at the Dongda He fred.
