Reviews
"An incisive and compelling analysis of how muddled political thinking has caused our immigration laws to go so badly wrong, and what must be done to reform them. Highly readable and cogently argued, a copy should be put on the desk of every tabloid editor and every MP." - The Secret Barrister "Successive governments have allowed the UK's immigration laws to become ever more incomprehensible and increasingly unfair, confident that few will understand what is happening and even fewer will care. Colin Yeo understands the law better than most and cares very much indeed. As well as providing a highly readable account of what the law is, he offers his own vision of what it should become." - Joshua Rozenberg QC "Colin Yeo presents us with a forensic examination of the UK's labyrinthine, costly and dehumanising immigration system - a must-read." - Maya Goodfellow, author of Hostile Environment: How Immigrants Became Scapegoats "This is a brilliant and urgently necessary book. Colin Yeo writes piercingly about the chaotic cruelty of Britain's immigration system and offers meticulously well-informed proposals for reform of the Home Office. He strips away with lawyerly precision the nonsense which informs so much of our toxic debate on immigration. Packed with chilling accounts of lives ripped up by the Home Office, this is an intensely disturbing read." - Amelia Gentleman, journalist "Excellent ... delivers a powerful critique of the failings of the system and offers meticulously well-informed and realistic proposals for reform. Yeo is the perfect guide for a tour of Britain's broken immigration system." - Prospect
