Quite correct Dedworth.

It's not long since my brother fired a Pakistani guy (ECO) working in one of our visa sections...for selling them.

No doubt the tip of the iceberg.

I couldn't get a Housing Association house having lived here all my life, so doubt this will affect many. Possibly it could have an effect on private rented accommodation, if they have to prove their immigration status. However, there are always the unscrupulous out to make a quick buck.

It took me more than 1 yr of waiting and I've always lived in this area. Unless you've got kids you've little chance.

Supposedly private landlords are moaning about having to act as 'immigration officers' (usual exaggerated rubbish).

Well why not ? Prospective tenants are usually charged a few hundred quid by these parasitic letting agents for basically doing sod all, and the property owners also coining it in every month by also doing sod all.
