I think we have to tread carefully on this and be careful what we wish for. Most folk in the UK won't differentiate between our wives and girlfriends and many other foreigners from outside the EU.

If we pound the drum too loudly for shutting the doors on immigration then we may shoot ourselves in the foot (to mix the metaphors).

As you indicate, we can come very close to having a set of double standards.
