"Ridiculous visa rulings set out"

Linda Costelloe Baker's report said that despite such flaws there had been "significant improvement in quality."

lol, i have to say that teh UK visa was the easiest one i've applied for, compared to many others !!!
i've asked for one year and i've got it !!!
In the same time, i live 5 min away from the german borders, and 10 min from the french one, and i still have trouble everytime i apply for a schengen visa in their consulates, because they dont see a reason why should i go there :)))
So, that's why i like the UK more :))
