I would believe the part about the ILR being discontinued, if it were true. But I don't believe the part about discontinuing permanent settlements.

It may simply be that they wish us, after so many years, to swear allegiance to our new homeland (British citizenship). Personally, I don't have a problem with that.

he came here to ask if a rumor is true.
he didn't came here to spread a rumor as if it was true.

sorry, i can't see why so many people are mad of him.

having said above, tribalboy mate, i don't think this rumor is going to be true, well, not in the near future at least. because:

ILR 4-5 and HSMP changes did raise a lot of anger. but what caused the anger are not the changes themselves, it is the way they were implementationed. all the changes were told or tipped by the HO beforehand.

base on the above fact, i can't see ILR is to be discontinued without any forecast.
Jeez, people! I already answered his questions, why are we still on this? It is a lame and nonsense rumour...removing ILR AND settlement? Pish posh. So nothing is being DISCONTINUED for now. Even if they did remove ILR they'd be SMART enough to replace it with something similar (but tougher). But nothing has been mentioned so why worry? So, can we agree to let this one go?
