Just arrived in the philippines

[Dedworth]

I have recently arrived in the philippines, and i am here on limited time. I am trying to secure an audience with the ambassador mr lillie to register with him my disgust at the new salary threshold proposals, that the british government are trying to introduce. I will then seek british citizenship for my two children. If this absurd law does come into place then i only have to worry about my wifes visa not my children.

Whilst in the philippines a letter arrived at my house from the house of commons telling me that my m.p. For halifax west yorkshire mrs linda riordan is representing my objections to the home secretary regarding the new proposals....
The weather is hot here and my wife and i and my children are enjoying the hospitality of the filippino
people. The pound is slightly up. Wowowee is very funny. Everybody is smiling and kindest regards to all forum members.

I might be totally wrong but I'd suspect registering your objections about salary thresholds would be directed in the wrong channel, the Ambassador is merely a very well rewarded civil servant who has no bearing or input on immigration policy - you stand scant chance of getting an appointment as these type of people prefer to remain faceless bureaucrats except when theres a bit of hospitality going. You should make arrangements to see your MP at her office in Westminster or one of her constituency surgeries - their job is to represent your concerns and raise issues with Ministers. Best of luck with your endeavours - I'd strongly recommend a series of face to face meetings, make a nuisance of yourself its harder to brush you off unlike all the Joes who just writes a letter.

I liked Wowowee am glad it's still on there
