They are still almost all fake- coming from a safe country all of them are, there is no danger to them in France so they are all illegal economic migrants. They should not even be fed never mind put up in hotels and be given money every week. Powell was right in 1968- we must be mad literally mad, its like a nation building up it own funeral pyre. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britons can marry even if they have zero income or rely solely on state benefits. This has nothing whatsoever to do with marriage, per se, or who can marry whom, it is only about allowing foreigners into Britain. You've completely missed the point I was trying to make, and it was tongue in cheek when pointing out the hypocrisy of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the second line from the article: Unless every foreigner emigrating to the UK is the spouse of some British citizen, your comment makes no sense. "James Cleverly, the home secretary, announced last week that a British citizen who wants to sponsor their foreign spouse to live with them in the UK will need to earn at least £38,700 a year to qualify for a family visa application."

Any change of government will not be making this a high priority, as the policy of increasing the amount will be seen as a vote winner by many in the UK. https://news.sky.com/story/rishi-sunak-under-fire-from-own-mps-over-family-visa-salary-threshold-delay-13036412 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be quite a diverse and interesting forum. Now it's essentially a handful of prolific posters screaming racist at everyone they disagree with and liking each others posts. I have to agree, except it's been that way since 2016. If they are not accusing posters they disagree with of being racist, it's being misogynist, or antisemitic or such like. As the recipient of many such attacks, I know most of the slurs they use, but sometimes they come up with a new one. It used to annoy me, and then I discovered the ignore function, which made my posting experience so much better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
