Double standards. He is an immigrant in Japan but he doesn’t want immigrants both in his host (Japan) and home (UK) countries. Pretty ironic come to think of. I guess he thinks his type are “good” immigrants, others are not so much.

Except that’s not what he said at all. He said if there’s visa abuse, the abuse should be stopped.

How one gets “doesn’t want immigrants” from this is beyond me.

> As a *Brit living in Japan* (non-resident) I think they should protect themselves at all costs, lest *what happened to my country happen to theirs.*

Yes, keep reading…don’t just stop when the first part of the paragraph makes you mad.

UK doesn't have an issue with visa abuse though.

The UK isn't exactly an assimilation success story. As someone with potential aspirations of moving to a different country I don't mind it if they tried to avoid that kind of scenario and to retain their state's character to some extent.

The irony comment comes across somewhat innefective and petulant when I and others i've encountered with such views hold them in spite of the effects it could have for us. I don't see the point in laughing at that any more than i see it in calling out irony when a rich person calls for tax hoops to be closed and taxation to be fair.

With all due respect aka_67, your reading comprehension is as low as your bigotry is rich.
