that's not shocking - the fact that they're using both Facebook colours & fonts for an official government ministry in the airport - that is shocking!

The cost of bringing foreign wives to England has been going up each year for quite some time now, same as it has to become a British citizen

Australia is just as bad unfortunately. 6-7k Australian dollars to apply without a guarantee of visa & no refund if refused. I moved to Thailand & couldn't be happier.

And no guarantee of visa, yet, we import the destitute & impoverished, whilst, we let our elderly citizens suffer! Not right in my books.

Again and again with the hurdles ...this never gets any press.The human rights of those families 100% non British are paraded front and centre, anyone raises a complaint 'racist' is thrown around ...but British citizens marry someone from another country they are expected to shut up and take it .What about our human right to a family?
