confussed

No pasa nada chica..........You can communicate in English far better that the 'Nerd' who left you negative feedback.....Spanish would be lost on them and probably basic English. :mad:


thanks for that, that has put a smile on my face:)
 
I'm sure they're still relatively rare, but it's a question of principle. Incidentally, I see that Greg Pope hasn't appeared to defend his government's stance on this...but, then again, how can you defend the indefensible?
Its not like me to defend Greg Pope, but I believe that is not the political parties at fault its actually the men in wigs where the problem is. We are still using laws which were made for the 19th century and to be quite honst its not the easiest thing in the world to change them. When anyone tries to change anything like this, the dogooding branch of British society comes out screaming the usual "HUMAN RITES" crap or its their culture init. Well I think its about time that the powers that be started looking to the rites of the indigenous population of this country, not continually pandering to those people who have come to our country to make a better life for themelves and their families. Enough is enough, I've had my rant now I'm going back to sleep:D

This government passed the Human Rights Act in 1997, thereby opening the floodgates for all manner of spurious claims that would otherwise never have seen the light of day, so they have largely brought this situation on themselves. However, I still think that if the will was there, the goverment could end this anomaly if it wanted to - the problem is that it's so PC-obsessed, it daren't.

Must say though, I always get a little nervous when people start talking about "the rights of the indigenous population". Are you suggesting that people who have come from elsewhere should somehow have less rights? As far as I'm concerned, every citizen of this country, white, black or brown, British-born or born elsewhere, should have exactly the same rights...no more and no less!

Could not agree more with the second part of your post
Wynonie, but in reality it doesn't work like that, we livein a christian country but are made to feel outsiders and are put down for being christians, not by oher religions but by our own pc brigade, and this is only one instance. Is it any wonder that people who were born and bred in this country are leaving in droves. believe me If I were 20 again and things were like they are now, I'd have been out of here like a shot
 
Right, Jaysay, I've decided to take the "If you can't beat 'em..." approach and I'll shortly be asking Mrs H if we can import two "female adult dependents" from Peru. I'm sure she'll see the wisdom of this...

How come I never thought of that, sounds like a good idea to me:D
 
An aunt or a sister is a relative. These women are not relatives and not "wives" under UK law, so the man should not be able to claim for them. If I had a couple of live-in girlfriends, apart from my wife, would I be able to claim benefit for them? I think not!

Well said Wynonie, and in English law these extra wives have no more status than any mistresses a man may decide to have living in his house along with his legal wife.

Let's go for total equality shall we and allow women to have a few 'men about the house' to do all the DIY etc and we can claim for them while we're at it. (if you'll pardon the pun)

Ya can't do that:D
