The whole thing is about publicising risk and privatising profit.
Having been thru the visa process back when it only cost loads of money and wasnt utter shite (2013 to 2019) i cant but help feel sorry for all the poor souls who have to endure the abysmal fustercluck that it is now.
I wonder how the 3 million chinese about to arrrive will feel about this or do they already have passports?
