Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
All non-eu spouses of British citizens do not have the freedom to live in the uk with their British counterparts. Splitting families up even with kids.
We were planning to get married a few years ago in the uk on the marriage visa with the option of staying.
We postponed due to finances.
Now look what has happened!
We cannot enter or stay! !
If only we had known then

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
Yes as I have already said it was totally tongue in cheek, Britain quite clearly isnt completely crap, the things people are using to say it is are common in other countries as well and those countries arent completely crap either.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
If I sound bitter and twisted, it's because people don't read and make assumptions - it's very tiring having to explain something three times because someone can't grasp what you're saying, and also deal with people who have the opinion that only their opinion is the right one. I'm also sorry to say Chris, that you are one of the worst offenders in that regard.
I've added the bit you forgot in that.

Well, I didn't like to mention the word, but since you have...
Why is it Chris that you unfailingly avoid answering any sticky questions, but pick up and run with totally irrelevant items?

My son is very attached to me and wouldn't dream of being apart from him for 6-8 months.
We're trying to save the 62500 to satisfy the anti non-eu British government.
I never imagined in my life Britain would enforce such a anti family discrimitive law.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
Talking about pensions, there are many articles on the internet stating that Britain has the lowest state pension allowance in Europe. Difficult to quantify, as this article correctly states.
http://conversation.which.co.uk/mone...parison-serps/
I was, however, rather dismayed to see that the state pension is less than 25% of the average wage, and that was based on the new higher rates to be introduced in 2016!!! Even against the minimum wage, based on a 40 hour week, the state pension only equates to around only 50% of the minimum wage. Pitiful.
Interesting comments section.
