Why should she be exempt from, what I admit is an exorbitant amount, just because she comes from a foreign country called the E.u. Many Brits have brought their Thai wives to the U.K from another foreign country called Thailand, and they had to pay,

Have you even read the article? How many Brits took their two-year old Thai wives to the UK?

Yours is a nonsensical comparison, the one that I made re the Brits living in other EU countries is far more pertinent.

Yeah yeah tough guy.  I'm sure that would have worked.  Just in case it didn't what would be your next move?

Postal.

You don't have to be, or become, a British citizen to apply for indefinite leave to remain as the spouse of a British citizen. Get your facts right!

 

Not once in either of my posts have I said that they need to acquire British citizenship, I don't even mention the word "citizenship" in either post and you have the gall to accuse me in a previous post of having reading and comprehension problems.

 

"You ridiculously claimed that obtaining citizenship as a spouse of a British citizen is easy."

 

Please reference which post I said this in.

True you didn't specify citizenship but then again you didn't specify ILR either. In any event my point remains valid. Your claim that it is easy for her to remain as a spouse of a UK citizen is still ridiculous. The process is not easy, I have been through it for my wife and when the people dealing with it made an obvious error they would not even reply to any communication pointing that out and asking that it be put right. They had a backlog of a couple of years of complaints to deal with first.

To secure ILR she would need to show proof of residence to the same people that have already wrongly rejected her previous application. We know that the decision is wrong from what "her" MP has said and he would most probably have seen the evidence before reaching his conclusion.

The cost of ILR is around £2,400. How can that be justified when she ought to be entitled to stay in the UK as a long term resident EU national? Should the UK expats in Spain and elsewhere in the EU have to pay similar sums?

You all  actually  like and  eat  genuine  jalapenos??? I grow  them in large amounts  but only  to  torture  the  braggers who claim they  can eat  "pet" up here in Isaan.

I get a sort of  vindictive pleasure  because  even one small innocuous  chillie shuts  down my sense of smell and  taste  for  hours! I can eat a lot of prik thai  (black) no problem.

Jalapenos? When we were back in England I introduced Mrs BM to Scotch Bonnets.

Neither of them has applied to stay as the spouse of a British citizen (which they are both entitled to do), they are both applying for settled status as EU citizens.

 

That's the point of the article. They have applied to stay as EU citizens and have wrongly been denied. They should not be forced to apply for British citizenship. You ridiculously claimed that obtaining citizenship as a spouse of a British citizen is easy. It is not easy and it is very expensive.

Available in most stores, bottled or canned, "up to you".

Darkness: Those Who Kill

 

Enjoyed the first episode of this new show.
Episodes 1 and 2 are available.

Summary: Investigator Jan and profiler Louise constantly move around in the thrilling periphery of a murderer's

view as they link a series of killings.

 

 

That looks right up my street and was not on my radar, thanks for posting.

So both of them could easily remain in the UK if the really wanted to due to their having a British spouse.

 

What a non-story, the remainer media are getting desperate.

Wow, reading not a strong point of yours, or perhaps its comprehension that's your problem.

Nah, can't touch another man's Harley, it almost amounts to touching his ****!

Thanks for all the various replies even conflicting ones. The structure being built is a metal framework about 4 metres high with a platform on the top. It is a real eyesore. However, the neighbour has agreed to move railings on the top further away from the perimeter so that his guests are prevented from looking in my windows and open doors. Polite requests were made to do something similar earlier in the week but the owner was away working and his contractors just carried on and ignored my protests. Now he has returned and although he has solved the problem of overlooking my private residence, the structure is still an absolute eyesore when I'm sitting in my garden. It would still be an eyesore if it were built a metre or so further inside his property so it looks as if I'm stuck with it.

How about sharing a picture?

Good points raised by you two usual suspects. 

For me the difference is that I'm actually enjoying watching Chelsea again after a couple of years when I frequently could not be bothered to stay up for games, in fact it's the first time in a few years that I really "wished I was there".

The extra game and travel to and from Istanbul was certainly a PITA. Pulisic's lack of spark may well be down to his lack of a break this year. It would be nice to think that he'll come back after the break a little refreshed but if he's involved for long spells against Mexico on the 7th and Uruguay on the 11th that's not going to be the case. The Uruguay game is in Missouri, a twelve hour flight from London so the earliest he'd get home would be the afternoon of the twelfth and we play away at Wolves on the 14th followed by Valencia in the CL on the Tuesday and Liverpool at home on the Sunday.

At least Willian showed he's getting back to fitness and form, his showing was a marked improvement on his admittedly poor previous outing.

You might start by sharing your approximate location.

Top marks for Frank playing Tomori and putting Billy Gilmour on the bench....would not have happened under Sarri Conte or Mou....regardless of transfer ban.

Pulisic will open his account tonight.....i hope.

It's just so refreshing to see these promising youngsters being given a chance and is long overdue.

Good game to give Tomori his full PL debut at home against a promoted team.

Bad blood is back with season 2. I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 is a escalation in mafia action which is great and better then 1. 

Season 2 was last year?

OK so slightly off topic as I'm not watching it now but next week sees the return of Mayans MC and I'll certainly be watching it then. If you missed season 1 then you've got a week to catch up with a binge.

"`Mayans M.C.' is the next chapter in the `Sons of Anarchy' saga. Set in a post-Jax Teller world, Ezekiel `EZ' Reyes is fresh out of prison and a prospect in the Mayans M.C. charter on the California/Mexico border. EZ, the gifted son of a proud Latino family and former golden boy, sees his quest for the American dream snuffed out by border violence. Faced with carving out a new identity for himself in his small town, EZ's need for vengeance drives him toward a life he never intended and can never escape."

Seen most of your games and im really enjoying watching Mason Mount; hope he gets quite a run.

 

Think i heard correctly  that Tammy has scored the most goals in england  in 2019.

 

Not been impressed by the CBs though; Zouma looks very unnatural kicking a ball. Having watched Cahill having a cracking debut t'other day im surprised with Luis leaving you didn't hang on to him for one more season - reckon he's going to have a good season at Palace.

We've still got our best CB, Rudiger, to come back from injury.

Thanks for your positive comments on Mount and Abraham. Many of us have been longing for more of our youths to be given a chance. What they need most is support when they have the odd, inevitable off day as you are probably aware.
