They need to prove they can pay.....what's £20,000 in pesos?

[joebloggs]

true,

it makes you why the philippines has the highest refusal rate in South east Asia?

with places like Singapore & Hong Kong on half that refusal rate..

and why has Algiers a refusal rate of 1% ??

makes you wonder why some places are so low, and other are higher? its not the brown envelope is it ?

and if not for the brown envelope what would be the refusal rate in the philippines

Muslims matey.....They have 'Right of way'

[joebloggs]

so true

but you can't say that , that's not PC

well good job this forum is not broadcast on tv,,

after watching the big brother row, white girl calling a brown girl a N***** ,

i said to my trouble and strife, what would offend her most, someone calling the colour of her skin, or making fun of her height..

she said both were just as bad, and if anyone did they not be standing still

i said there nothnig wrong with her height, shes just the right height, so i can lean my elbow on her head when i get tired , ...

oh

well PC free here, no keith PC . not PVC

its like little brittan here , where we use to have freedom of speech where you was once able to mock and jest at yourself and others

and if i've offended anyone, then you've offended me, by being offended

Having been to the Philippines, Spain, Malta, Barbados & Holland in the last few years, and seen how un-PC these countries are, I think we in the UK are so obsessed with "correctness" its getting a bit crazy now. I really think we all need to chill out a bit and stop worrying about how our every single move or every single word we speak can be potentially seen as being racist, age-ist, height-ist, colour-ist, whatever-ist. Its all getting a bit stupid now. I live in a part of Wales where racism towards English people is alive and well, funny how the PC brigade ignore that one. Anyway back to the subject at hand.....

[KeithD]

I'm in a part of Wales were we've 'disposed' of the Welsh

The headline news last week Rob was the victimization of red-heads

I can sue Joe for scousism......or just empty his jisim

[joebloggs]

like there are times, when you can apply for a visa, out side of immigration rules, so taking the mick out of socusers is outside the PC rules


got me thinking, if its 27%, must be a lot more than 27 people out of 100 who have had refusal, as ive applied for a spouse visa, a visa for my daughter, a visa for my stepson, flr, ilr * 2 = ive had all 6 visa apps accepted !!., so must be lots more who have failed if ive got 6 out of 6 , simple maths i should have had 2 refused !!
