personally I do not think that appealing to the public will do us any good. my understanding that ordinary people are at least mildly averse to immigration in general. They actually do not make any difference between people who came here on WP and HSMP and asylum seekers. Former are up to their jobs, later - for their money. So I do not think that any public appeal will do us any good.Hidden dragon wrote:A quick update:
We have got 6 people who would contribute to the AD action:

Could people kindly copy his suggestions to other forums to get more people interested?

Some businesses may suffer from new rules as they will have to pay for the extensions for their employees. I do not think that many of them are concerned that new rules will damage in any way the attractiveness of the UK for skilled workers.
Politicians are the only group which may be interested to help or play it in their own interests. At least you may try to convince them that some of the rules are unfair. So lobbying is the best way to do something about it.
Also I doubt if many of those whose life was affected by new rules are up to fight, frankly speaking. In my case for example if I do not have ILR before September 1st, it really does not matter to me (unless they change it again next spring).
So I would suggest to put all our efforts to lobbying: letters to MPs trying to persuade them that the retrospectiveness/retroactiveness is unfair.

I totally agree with the above and that is reality.

i'd suggest even if we couldn't manage a face to face meeting, we should defo arrange a Cyber-chat over the holiday period, maybe over either msn or some bbs(lkcn or immigrationboards?). otherwsie we might just miss a good time window.
