Points awarded for overloading a Nissan Micra won’t count towards new visa, government confirms
2020-02-20
There was disappointment in the Eastwood area of Rotherham this morning after it emerged that points accrued for overloading a passenger vehicle won’t count towards qualification to receive one of the new visas which will give the right to live and work in the UK. The government introduced their plans for a points-based visa system yesterday, and gave hope to people living in and around Eastwood, but these hopes were dashed when the details became clear.
“This is just racist.” said one local who asked not to be named. “A point should be a point a point innit? But no, it’s only special points that count. People round here have worked hard to build up their points and now this. It’s a disgrace.”
The Bugle understands that locals are now resting their hopes on Tesco Club Card points, the status of which is still to be announced.
