LondonPax, I was just being a pedant. Laziness of the media and of 'issuers of press releases'. They think they know what they are saying, but they don't think through the obvious.
Visitors from Canada could very well mean visitors who require visas, based on their nationality. And that too could exclude me, since I no longer live in lotus land.
I just wish they would take the time and think about what they are saying, perhaps show it to a colleague and ask their opinion.
After paying a tidy sum for a UK visa, why shouldn't they be given priority? Or perhaps I should say why should they be expected to queue longer than us white guys?
