But in making that statement you are seeking to deny many folk a right to bring their fiancee or spouse here. You avidly supported the £26000 income threshold and the £18600 threshold. As Arthur and others have pointed out, it is perfectly possible to sponsor a spouse / fiancée on £18000 pa.

And as many have pointed out, the government estimate that people can get by on a lot less, as one can see by the level of benefits dished out to the unemployed. You can't seem to see that and openly begrudge the lower income earners from bringing in a spouse / fiancee when you have been lucky enough to have already established your wife here in the UK.
