Welsh learner denied entry to UK

[aromulus]

I am no expert at all, but it seems, to me, that UKBA is out of order on this one....

Comments, please.....

why would you want to learn welsh...?

but it does seem strange that so many get let in,that they will stop her too.

They should stop the English getting into Wales

, one less student for your wales speaking course that you hold in your cellar scouser keith

they should have gave her a map of the uk and asked her to point to where wales is

The refusal seems perfectly acceptable to me. If it was a 20 year old from the Philippines being sponsored by a non-related person to come to the UK to learn English at a non-offical learning establishment then no-one would be surprised or complaining when their visa was refused.

I bet that if she had come in, dressed from head to toe in a bedsheet, with eye holes in it, she would have waltzed through......
