Ukip to merge with the Conservatives

[lastlid]

Point taken Marco...on reflection, I throughly agree.

I Lastlid dont begrudge anybody a settlement visa if they can financially stand alone...perfectly reasonable one thinks....you keep harping about the 26k...that figure was put forward because that figure and below is where you cld avail yourself to the public purse......not as you are saying plucked out of thin air or out of malice.

( But you avail yourself to the public purse. )

Exactly, it wasn't plucked out of thin air. But it was generated erroneously and out of lack of care for those on lower incomes. It didn't need to be £26000 and it doesnt need to be £18600 either. Same old same old eh. Just simply an I am alright Jack approach from you.

How would you have liked it if the government had gone higher and precluded your wife / fiancee from getting into the UK? You wouldn't be all for it then.
