Code Words.

Apparently, 'Tens of thousands of foreign nationals will lose ‘exceptionally generous’ rights to settle in the UK in a huge shake-up of the immigration system.'

Please tell me that this isn't going to be 'a crackdown'. I hate 'crackdowns'. The word is actually code for: 'Nothing is actually going to happen - unless we can figure out a way of making things worse!'
('Shake-ups' are nearly as bad!)
