Then why did they take the deal? When my gig ended, I ended the lease of my flat and went home. What I didn’t do was bleat that I should be entitled to segue it into residence

Why? EVERY temporary work visa I have ever had has had a declaration section where I acknowledge that its temporary and in no way entitles me to residence. Its not a hidden suprise.

Sure, but then you have to refuse to spend an other Z on in-kind services when (X+Y) were spent on other things. And you'll find politicians lack that resolve.

Of course not, but it doesn't change the fact that the USA unilateraly committed itself to ending the entire planet if they didn't get what they wanted. The USSR were the adults in that conflict. So, yeah - the rest of us consider

Spekboom (Portulacaria afra) is said to sequester up 10 times the carbon of a rain forest by area. This is largely due to a special mechanism that continues photosynthesis at night. And it grows best in semi-arid regions. Where people don&#
