Re: Theresa May wants minimum income of £25,700; £49,000 if you have 2 kids

I have to call you on that statement. Who's to say that a the UK economy needs highly educated lawyers more than plumbers, shop keepers or writers etc. There's an argument to be made that lawyers...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

If you are born abroad UK citizenship is determined by your parents' citizenship. If you are born in the UK at least one of your parents has to be a UK citizen or settled in the UK for you to be a UK...

I'm not sure I agree with your characterization, but I always find that a fool's greatest enemy is often their own words.

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

I have to defend Formula's posts. I disagree with them, but they are reasoned and they don't strike me as those of a troll. If we want to discuss the implications of the new immigration law it's...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

I object for reasons.

1) because some people like students cannot work enough hours to qualify and those on minimum wage would have to work Dickensian numbers of hours. You seem to have missed the...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Unless you are a student or low paid in which case you won't be able to qualify. There are plenty of people who work hard but can't meet the salary or saving requirements and I suppose there are some...

There's so much wrong with this. I've never liked Paxman's condescending tone....although I do like the tough questions. Chloe Smith was obviously unprepared for the interview......which says more...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Is this true? I though 40 hours was the norm. There is something called decency and respect and any income level should be calculated using 40 hours, not some arbitrary number that smacks of...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Being British should be the only requirement to live in the UK with your immediate family. Any other criteria is un-British and deeply offensive in the way it intrudes into a UK citizen's personal...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Visas based on skills isn't the issue. The issue is the UK Government putting barriers in the way of UK citizens being able to live in the UK with their immediate family. A UK citizen should be able...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Ahh yes I see if you are on DLA etc you are exempt from the income requirements. But if you are a student it still looks like you would have difficulty bringing a non-EU spouse into the country....

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

I was wondering if the Government planed to weight the income amount required to sponsor a non-EU spouse according to where they'll be living. If its ok to do that for NHS salaries, surely the income...

Well not as closely as you, so can you tell the the situation for disabled UK citizens wanting to sponsor their non-EU spouse? I hope that there would be an exemption for people who are unable to...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

What do UK citizens who are students do if they are married to non-EU spouses and want to go to university in the UK?

What if a disabled UK citizen who cannot work gets married to a non-EU spouse,...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

That will be a terrible situation.....the numbers of cases will be very small and the tiny number of people this will impact will probably be used in any argument to maintain the policy. But the...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

It would be nice to have the opportunity to work in the UK. Unfortunately the new legislation prevents many UK citizens and their families from even trying. Because they are poor they don't even get...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Again I smell "red herring". The amount of benefits given to non-EU family members is vanishingly small. Politicians and certain newspapers use this combination of economics and xenophobia to pander...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

They are stopping people with the imposition of an income requirement. The family finances of UK citizens should not be a barrier to them living in the UK with their family. How the Government then...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Stop with income, saving and benefits s***. That is not the issue. The issue is the persecution of UK citizens by the UK Government. It's a human rights issue not an accountancy issue.

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

WOW, I completely disagree with you. A UK citizen should be allowed to live in the UK with their immediate family because it is his/her country. I feel that it's a right. Economic or xenophobic (not...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Thankfully, I don't have the heart of an accountant. Arguing about benefits is a "red herring" and a really small one too. The issue is a UK Government limiting the ability of UK citizens to reside...
