    Ministers are to scrap the right of appeal for more than 80,000 relatives of British families who are refused visas to visit them each year, according to a leaked Home Office policy paper seen by the Guardian

    This is an interesting extract from that article
    "Senior Whitehall officials have warned that the move is considered highly controversial, particularly within Britain's Asian communities, as well as being legally risky"

    There would surely be uproar.
    Although I wonder how many (percentage and number) Family Visit visa's are actually refused? Maybe not so many. Mmm

    Make me wonder if UK Govt is planning some national dilution of Human Rights in order to push through these kinds of changes.
