Question

Why uk not agree with schengen agreement and not allow sehengen visa people to go in uk ?

Answer 1

not sure why ? but they are not in the Schengen zones

here is one explanation of the internet :

The British authorities feel that, to join the Schengen zone, they would need to impose continental European style registration laws and make all people carry official identification at all times.

They reconise that to do that would raise all sorts of civil liberties issues in the UK and would just not be accepted. The spectre of the poll tax riots looms when such matters are considered.

Oddly, it is this situation that makes the UK such an attractive destination for Eastern Europeans seeking to live illegally in the West. It is much harder to do this in the Schengen zone than in the UK. In the UK, once you get in, it is relatively easy to disappear and stay hidden.
