So I'm not claiming to know about what sort of visa Makosi may or may not have
That's exactly my point. Sorry, no intention to insult anybody; but my point is: there're some people in this country who know nothing about what they are speculating. For example: why uneducated people like Craig would want to talk about patriotism and its association with cultural background? Just because you're naturally born and bred in UK, doesn't make you know more about this country than anyone else.
Knowledge and intelligence are all about formal and proper education. These are the qualities that would make a difference. That's why, non-native speakers like Roberto, Kemal and Makosi could speak QUEEN ENGLISH much better than Maxwell, Craig or Saskia (even though English is their native language).

I believe blagman was speculating about something, not stating a fact
you appear to have grude against certain HMs (and some posters) and seem to be making random statements, that don't follow what people were saying before.
you're entitled to your views (though the Hitler comment was pretty crass), but your moral superiority is very grating
