Rory, even the idiots in this country will normally realise that your wife is NOT one of the sponger immigrants...trust me.

What the ridiculous increase in immigration generally during this past 20 years has done however, is to adversely affect those of us who do want to bring our partners into this country ....NOT to live off benefits or cause social problems (whether employed or not), both as far as the financial cost and stiffness of regulations goes.
