This seems to be the kind of figure banded about. But I just wonder if they might start off at a lower level and ease it up slowly.

I have to say that I am not fully in touch with the facts at all, but I seem to recall that Denmark have much stiffer hurdles for Spouse visas than we do and yet Article 8 still applies to Denmark also. (I seem to recall the Danish bit cropping up in the governments recent assessment on these matters when they were looking to see how other countries dealt with these issues).

Along with the rest of the Europeans I don't think the Danes have the same bleeding heart, hand wringing perception of Article 8 Human Rights nonsense as the UK judiciary
