Prof Stephen Reicher, "I would appeal to you to not call these people protestors. They're not protestors" "To call them protestors is profoundly misleading. It is to discredit a long tradition of perfectly legitimate and peaceful and important protest that has made our society better in many ways" "What's going on is specific to these crowds.. Crowd psychology is there when people are cleaning up the streets as well as attacking the streets.. The difference is one group has an ideology of hate and violence, another has a vision of community and solidarity" "Most people are pro immigration.. The irony is that over recent years attitudes towards immigration has become more positive.. People see immigrants as a boom rather than as a menace to the country.. Britain is one of the more liberal countries" "If we didn't have migrants then our care service would fall apart, our NHS would fall apart.. It's important not to highlight the negative exceptions, but to show that most people are pro migrants"

It's a visa status called "3C Leave" which is supposed to maintain all your rights while your visa extension is being processed. But during this time, you don't have any paperwork to prove you're here legally, not even a confirmation email. The current wait time is 11 months
