The Home Office overturn the plans to charge visitors from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri-Lanka, Nigeria, Ghana £3000 cash bond to enter the UK. Established people from these countries contribute greatly to the diversity, economic, cultural and scientific success of the country, what does this say about the UK? Open for business as long as you pay £3000 first? Nigeria was the fourth-biggest contributor to overseas tax-free shopping in the U.K. last year. Realistically this policy means if you have dark skin, if you are African or Asian you cannot come into the UK to visit unless you pay £3000. First the racist vans and then this! This policy should be abandoned and definitely not piloted in November 2013.

This is honestly just blatant discrimination. My family visits from Nigeria all the time and they spend plenty of money here contributing to the economy. Why punish them like this?

Ridiculous. UK is meant to be welcoming not charging people just for visiting. Sort it out.
