Really, Great Britain? For shame. (And for fuck's sake.)
I could go on a long rant, but I would only expend energy and fumes. I wish I could at least say that I am surprised, but I'm not. Foreigners are made to feel very unwelcome here (and both my students and I have experienced it often), and it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
For shame.
Update (2/22/16): And here is another horror story. (Tip of the cap to Yves van Gennip.)
