I hate how everyone compares her to Margaret Thatcher just for being female. They have nothing in common. May is obviously a complete opportunist with no beliefs of her own, if anything she's more like Clinton.

Non-Britfag here with no stake in the matter, it's pretty clear what kind of replies you're fishing for.

I don't know much about her yet but she said she wants to strictly limit immigration so I support her.

She might actually be a decent primeminister tbh.

Mother Teresa of Britain.

Um no doesn't she want to implement an investigatory powers bill to allow governments access to corporate meta data? Essentially the end of freedom and liberty as we know it

Also the irony that people who voted for brexit because of lack of democracy are now receiving an unelected priminister

>>102784
I don't think it's ironic. This is how British democracy works. The conservative party is in, and their party leader is stepping down, so the party must put forward a part leader. No prime minister is elected by the people.

Doesn't matter since many of those foreign students come there with the specific intent to weasel themselves into a job and stay. The only people who can afford to study in the UK are rich daddy's money kids who study in for-profit non-Russell unis and party all week, so it's not like they're in any way downtrodden and unfortunate.
How do I know this? I studied there for a year myself (double degree programme) and literally 100% of students who were not locals had an endless supply of money from their parents and didn't really need to work but many did because they all wanted to stay and work as fashion designers and dumb shit like that.

Just look up all the visa and tuition fees, insurance and cost of living. It's pretty clear they're only there to make sure only rich people can get in. And I say that as someone from a relatively rich country in Northern Europe with free education that's considered among the best in the world. For those people, studying here is 'too common' so it's not like they're interested in the quality of teaching or anything.

Yep. Most are here just for the work permit and shit like benefits.

Oh well. So does that mean Starbucks and Subway will finally have people who can speak English?

cant wait to have my milk nicked again.

>* Sending foreign students back home after their college/university is finished also cannot work while studying

Reasonable. Non-Cucked states like Japan do this all the time.

>* Been deemed racist and islamphobic

When people describe someone as "racist" these days, it just makes me implicitly like them a lot more.

What I'd like to see May do most, because obviously it's difficult to do the sorts of legislation I'd like passed (mass deportations of non-whites etc), is to make it significantly harder to get PR and citizenship - same as it is in places like the Gulf and East Asia. You can get a work visa, but getting PR and citizenship isn't just a matter of staying there for a few years and then bam, there's your PR.

Also, make family reunification hard to impossible. Encourages self-deportation.

tbh i agree

So where are all those Syrians hunched up in the holiday resorts going to go now then?

Literally me.

Maybe you should put your English self in the refugees position, a bit of empathy you know.

>>102821
The French said that if you left the EU they'd stop protecting your border for you, enjoy.

>>102924
I'm not English. But I don't have to. This is Europe, not Africa or Asia. I don't have an obligation to obliterate my people and my country to make some poor people slightly less poor.

Since youre so charitable you take a few in

They can fuck off.

Nice fantasy. If you wanna trade with the EU you're gonna have to let them in.

>>102924
Your liberal empathy is why so many women have been assaulted and raped since the EU let refugees in. Stop.
