Re: The country we left behind
This series of tweets is top on the UK reddit right now:
Barbara Muldoon: I was an immigration lawyer during the entire time Theresa May was Home Secretary. Here are a random selection of tears:-

Unbelievably awful how UK immigrants have been treated over the past few years. Makes me thankful for the Canadian immigration system - it's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better and fairer than this.
One of the stories in the reddit comments ended up with them going to Canada

In the end, we both left the UK when my visa expired. The migration rules to Canada (where I am from originally) meant that my husband could come with us and then I could sponsor him from within the country. No requirement for having a job, no requirement for a certain amount of money (except the money to pay for the application.)
It's incredible to me, that the UK didn't want a software developer and an architect. We could have contributed greatly to the country, and would have happily stayed, but in the end the Tories made it clear that our family was not wanted.

I never much cared for her when she was home secretary, sending a fleet of vans around London telling immigrants to “**** off back to where you came from” (I think those were the words, but even if they weren’t that’s what she meant)

NHS to open its first ever clinic for children was the headline I saw today.
Eh? Surely there have been others?
For gambling addiction.

My sister died young. For much of that time in the early fifties she was treated in a hospital in Sydenham, SE London.
I passed it every day on my way to school.
It pronounced it's existence with large gold letters as a 'Childrens Hospital' an NHS property.
I was also treated there as an out patient.
It was closed later.
