It all comes down to the lottery of where your born.

I too agree we have a big problem with eastern europeans, London is swamped, every where I go everyone seems to be speaking russian

My mates who work on sites or in trades agree also.

All they have to do is apply for a work permit and they are in, no questions asked and yet when a British citizin wants to bring a loved one to be with them they treat you with pure contempt and make you bend over backwards for the privledge whilst bleeding you dry in the process

But at least when you do things the right way you know that your girl (or boy) aint genna always be looking over their shoulder or waiting for a knock on the door

I sympathise entirely but if I had to do it all again I would still do it the right way rather than her overstaying coz now I know that she is here for good and can live life to the full
