Hmmm…

What I was looking for was more along the lines of an apology for a strength of comment I have never seen you dish out at an individual here, but as one does not appear to be forthcoming, I shall at least for my part, and for the frustration my own words caused you, say that I am sorry for such.

I suspect you use the example of the courier to illustrate your point by drawing a comparison to work which you know I did. A poor analogy though given that I did that work as student. Perhaps a better statement would be many couriers in London are students.

Laws are in place for people to find employment in this and every city. If visa rules bother people, I have no pity. If this is the only work that can be found which supplies a visa, then so be it. I think however that if these folks were as skilled and accomplished as I have taken your description to make them seem, finding employment which also came with a visa should not truly be that difficult.

I'd be jumping in too if someone decided to say that the people who work as couriers in London were morons, otherwise they could easily find other opportunities...

Perhaps these ladies should be able to find 'better' work in Tokyo, but who'd give them the visas? I think you're being very unfair.
