Come on for heavens sake you cant put a price on genuine true love ...
Deltaromeo you say you wouldnt of considered a relationship if you were in those circumstances but surely love conquers all whatever the circumstances are if anyone trully loves there partner they will move heaven & earth to make a family life with them i know i certainly did

No of course I agree, there is no price that can be put on Love. But back then.. I wouldn't have been in a position to have met or considered meeting someone from so far away.

and anyway, you're from Oxfordshire?

Not from here, but moved 3 years ago for the job I'm in now lol

i been there myself single dad to 3 young daughters, and didnt consider a relationship while i was bringing them up,
but to the point it sounds like you think under £25,700 is living in poverty

Of course not, that isn't what I suggested, living hand to mouth, not knowing how to clothe, feed or keep your children warm is what I know as living in poverty.

But guys, for goodness sake, I'm not attacking anyone, I'm not trying to demean or be unsympathetic. I do feel though that some measure of control be brought in. Yes, I see that no one here wishes to abuse the system, but unfortunately there are those out there that will and do. So the proposed (and they are only proposed) reforms to migration aims to curtail the freeloaders and abusers but it is impossible to say.. ok you can come in .. but he can't on such a large scale.
As Terpe points out, the reports are published and available to read... they are not unreasonable - in my opinion.
