You should get all your family and friends to sign this too. We need more and more signatures. Let's show them what we're all made of lol.

Done too, but a long way to go still !
I read a article this morning from Immigration news that a Bangaldashi had been allowed to stay under Article 8 simply because he played Cricket on Sundays and was a post graduate student.
It was not abt finance it was effectively petitioned on his right to s private life...........so if we all play cricket on a Sundays can we say the GF is wicketkeeper to allow her to stay here too.
Cameron and Clegg make the rules up as they go along
Like I said just a few days ago, there's some hilarious stuff associated with immigration to the UK....
its not them, its the judges who do what they want
Signed - not just because it might make a real mess of my personal plans for my future, but this is a disgraceful attack on someone's basic human right.
Yes we all know who the people are who are abusing this, so why not make it harder for that sort of scam.
They also really need to put this in perspective, so the government may be wanting to cut down migration, but marital visas - the thing which enables a FAMILY to be together - are not the major source of immigration, that is immigration from within the EU, which we can't stop, and really, we shouldn't stop as it works both ways.
The thing is, yes they want to as one part of a new ruling, raise the income threshold so people aren't coming here and on to benefits. The government "outsourced" this to a thinktank - who came up with these suggestions.
That is what it is though - suggestions. They could say no way and reject them all - or come up with one of their own - £30,000 plus or £10,000 or anything.
I really shouldn't equate "logic" with politicians, but surely setting an arbitary figure such as this would leave the government way open to court cases, and even moreso, as this would hit hard "you know who community", the perpetual accusation of "that's raaaaaaaaaaaaaacist".
Of course it needs opposing, and being aware of it, but it's already January, there's nothing on the internet about definite figures - or even that there will be a figure.
It also has to be remembered, that the average wage in one part of the uk can be drastically different to another part.
It will be interesting to see if this actually happens to be frank. If it does, then the court cases will soon erupt. Governments don't like to make laws they know could be challenged, and give them their due, will all joking apart always err on the side of caution.
If this does come in, it will be a real "pass the popcorn, sit back and watch the fallout" situation.
i agree, it has totally ruined my plans.. i work full time as a caregiver and i only earn 14-15k a year, i work hard, im in no debt.. and have good savings... and this has completely thrown me off track..
want to sign but it says this e-petition is closed,,why is this dodgy government maybe???
err no like petitions written on paper they have to have an end date when they can be closed off and submitted. It was a total waste of time as it was a petition against a "proposal" and only 133 people saw fit to "sign" it.
You could always tweak the wording and start a new one - I'll second it
