Should immigrants from high risk countries be banned from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential terrorists?

If you had to make a decision about who gets into a country, what factors would you think are most important to consider?

Should the top tax rate of income over £150,000 be raised to 50 percent?

It should go to 100% at some level. I think 150k is too low for 100%, but 50% should not be the end of the progressive tax system
