Spouse migration rules 'unfair' to UK citizens, admits Minister

[stevewool]

Those with pensions that are reasonably healthy should be fine, but young guys with no income from the UK? Live here with their spouses?
Not normally a practical or even a possible solution for most.

Right on all accounts there Fred,

I am so glad I don't have to go through all this. But if I had to, I think I would just not bother and move myself over there.

... guys, I wouldn't ever consider moving to the Philippines at my advanced age (or in my state of health) ... somehow or other, I'd got hold of the impression when you mentioned "moving over there" you'd been responding to *Robbie's post in its context and jokingly meant move from the mainland to the Channel Islands (where the 'old rules' still [apparently] apply) like *he'd done, Steve.

Seems Fred, in replying to my post, did so based on his awareness of your plans to migrate to the Phils in the long term.
