    Maybe I am missing something but I can't see anything wrong with people, whatever race or nationality they are, spending money in UK shops.

    Let them take advantage of the weak £, better then no money being spent at all in my view.

    In addition to what they purchase, they will need to stay somewhere (i.e. hotel), eat in places etc so all helping to keep some people in their jobs.

    Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.

    Clearly you know nothing about the ability to transfer NI contributions to another country, then - nor do you know anything about the ability to reclaim tax dependent on your residency situation
    I'd be interested to learn about this
