I daresay many coming to our country have skills that we could benefit from but what a crackers and painfully slow system it is before they can be working and helping the economy.

It appears he was refused asylum because the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Schemme is closed not because of his application being considered against clear criteria for granting asylum. Meanwhile the NHS needs trauma surgeons ...and he is volunteering with a homeless charity in order to do something useful as he is not allowed to work!! Am I missing something here?🙄
