... it DOES seem that the British Government is doing its damndest to make the goal for decent, genuine couples in LDRs as difficult and unattainable as it can ... financially, at any rate! Yet, the scum that [somehow] manage to infiltrate our borders, and are responsible for wreaking havoc with terrorist atrocities - like the London Underground Bomb attack, and many more - sometimes aren't even deported when "brought to justice", for fear their "human" rights are violated.

But that's ANOTHER story ...
