Its comical, beyond words.

To be honest I also thought that in terms of 'Human Rights' it would be very difficult for the govt to introduce these restrictions.

I'm not wanting to be negative, and maybe I'm making 2+2=5 but look here:-

The govt are set to implement some changes to 'Human Rights' laws that most people in UK would strongly support.
The words be careful what you wish for come to mind when linking human rights with UK immigration rules.
Or are the govt not that smart?

Ask any Brit ... and you'll find a high percentage in FAVOUR of measures to curb immigration - simply because they're unlikely to be affected by them to the extent that most of our membership is - and therein lies the rub!

I think you have hit the nail on the head, Arthur. And that is why it will never be dealt with in a fair way.

Sorry, but I would agree. Sooner is going to to much better than later.
No-one really knows for sure but the 'writing is on the wall', so to speak.

I would advise anyone now, with all the issues around us get your applications lodged before end of March 2012 unless you are very sure of your position.
Plenty of info on the threads/posts here for review. Make up your mind.

no the gov can not discriminate against Europeans only its own citizens can it victimize

nothing wrong with the welfare state, its people that abuse it are the problem

[brokenpieces]

LOL maybe England will no longer be England but Ingland :P coz they might get outnumbered by the Indians since they are migrating there yearly wow 4000? seriously? Well if only I speak a different language fluently like maybe Spanish or French or Italian maybe I'll just ask my husband to go to those country but since the only other language I can speak better is English then oh well......other english speaking countries like Canada, USA, Australia hmmmm well we will both need VISA in UK I am the only one who needs it he doesn't need one so.... and we won't be able to visit his parents and grandmas that often coz those other english speaking country are far from his country and I want to see Harry Potter hahahahahahaha
