An acquaintance of mine was complaining last night when I saw him about the rules. He missed a deadline (his own fault) and now has 10 weeks to come up with £3k for his whatever sort of leave to remain he needs.
While he has the money, although he'd undoubtedly choose to spend it on something else, he's lived here for 19 years.
The only benefits he's accessed while here has been the NHS for vaccinations and the usual things of life.
As he says, "Go home? There's no-one I know there any more, my job, my pension funds, my family are all here".

It's harsh.
