Arthur whilst I agree with various posters here regarding the economic unfairness of our visa system my conclusion is that if we don't challenge its legality in the European Courts we tacitly agree to its continuing I guess it will have to wait until someone with the where withal or legal interest and or expertise has had enough.Not that our masters would necessarily comply of course being above the law themselvesOriginally Posted by Arthur Little
Okay, ok, so it looks like Myrna and I are going to be facing tough times in the ensuing weeks. But WHY in God's name would the authorities WANT to adopt a hard line with two people who have endured the pain and loneliness wrought by years of widowhood?? And, unless they are truly sadistic, why would it even occur to them to block any genuine opportunities the couple might have of grasping their new-found happiness with both hands??
I would reiterate a question I've posted in at least one other thread on this site (and which no-one has yet attempted to answer):How come so many undesirables, such as would-be [and actual] terrorists, have managed to infiltrate their way into so-called "Great" Britain if our immigration laws are as tight as they're claimed to be ... ???
In your own particular case from what you have said I would say that you have no problem to bring your lady to the UK if you really wish just a few choices to make (unpalatable or unfair as they may be) as to how you manage/create/present your application process and the relatively small amount of financial restructuring that requires.Ady,s recent post sets the financial hurdle that must me met very clearly.
As to your second point in my view the climate of fear created by continual "threats" suits western governments very well as it allows continual erosion of our rights as a supposed mechanism to "win" the battle which is again in my view about "control" of the population, that is the agenda not controlling our frontiers or catching illegals but training us to comply as to question would be "unpatriotic" otherwise resources would be placed there, its always more accurate if you want to know whats actually happening to look at what people are doing rather than what they are saying.
So the answer to your question is the government don't give a dam about illegals or East Europeans except as a mechanism for advancing there own agendas and for passing new laws to diminish your ability to make choices
If you read History and think outside the box it seems to me that all "Nation States" are based on the premise "do what we say and pay up or we will send the boys round" just like any other protection racket here in the Fils its all much more obvious who to pay and for what
Gracious did I just say all that I must be having an episode
