This could be a great country if everyone else thought this way too about working hard for a wage and paying your way

... like the way you've summed it up. 's so true, !

Mind you ... ... taking into account the *security naturalisation offers our non-British partners, puts the fee entailed into perspective, making *it an advantage worth having.

But I do feel the cost of each of the interim periods of 'Leave to Remain' are nothing short of downright rip~offs!
