There are about 35,000 overseas students whom the Home Office accused of cheating in a government-approved English language test they were required to take as part of the process of applying for a renewal of their student visas. The allegations triggered a wave of dawn raids on student flats around the country.

About 2,500 students were subject to an enforced removal from the UK and another 7,500 left the country voluntarily after being warned that they faced arrest, detention and forced removal if they stayed. Thousands of those accused have spent years trying to prove their innocence.

    A constitution is just a foundation of principals a community uses to define its path.

    The US chosen principals do not define the word. Our form of government was called a Constitutional Monarchy long before the US existed. And we were far from the first.

    Not that I in any way indicated I agree with how it works. Or any UK actions at all. We def have a lot of actions in our past and present I am not proud of.

    But even a minimal knowledge of US history makes it clear your constitutional principals. Have not provented the same abuses of power every other nation faces at multiple point in its history.

    The principals of your constitution are a nice idea. But in no way shape or form the pamcea to controlled power.
