| It seems the British Government has reneged on earlier rulings for the rights of Gurkhas to take up residency in the UK. Any successful candidate must have served a minimum of 20yrs in the British Army. An unemployed Gypsy with Aids from Eastern Europe would have a quicker chance of taking up residency!

| hi brin
this does sound a little unfair!
i will say last night i spend filling in a friends visa application for the uk, she only want a 2 week holiday to visit family.
i was shocked at the things they wanted to know and how difficult it would be to complete the application if english wasn't your first language.
i think the problem is that some of the countries which joined the eu, have too many people looking to relocate elsewhere, dreaming of a better life.
i think if you or i were in their situation we would probably be doing the same thing.
the e.u need to pressure these countries to make staying home more attractive for its own people! |

True about Official form filling in the UK. Even with an English Degree it still can be a minefield navigating goblygook however, take a look at some of the English text books foreign students have to study from, incomprehensible!
