Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, which between them saw 17,000 spouses or fiances enter the UK from their home countries last year, sometimes as a result of arranged marriages.

Na, nothing will happen, it will carry on the same, soft touch Britian, come on in, bring you kids aswell, oh and by the way, if you do leave your kids we will give you Child Benefit to send home.

Also when you do get your home before anyone else, we will give you all the white goods and even carpet it for you.

But what about your own British Homeless, oh thats no problem sir, they have only paid taxes so can carry on living on the street.

"Foreigners who want to marry a British person and come to the UK should be required to take an English test, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has proposed."

Who did SHE propose to! and was HE English?  :D

here's another idea ..

When we are married my wife dont know a word in Turkish..(But take the citizenship according to laws)

And at first we both talk English (how much we could) for few years and now she talks my language perfectly..

I dont think its good idea to put barrier in front of peoples relations..

However when I came to England I see more immigrants than British ..Specially at the airport (Heatrow) it was nearly impossible to see I white man.. ;D

Maybe someone should remind the government theres already a difficult test in place...multiple choice type relating to england's history.

Wife speaks English fluently yet she failed 3 times costing me over £100 in test fee"s.

If i can find the test i"ll put some of the questions up....i wonder how many here could answer them without looking them up,not me thats for sure. ;)
