The previous UK government’s own consultation on this was overwhelmingly against this proposal but the views expressed and captured during that exercise have been ignored. The whole process by which the UK government consults on these matters is not evidenced based and does not appear to be well grounded on independent data or familiar with modern research and consultation methods. The nature of such measures is that they can and do have ‘unintended consequences’. These changes do nothing to stem the flow of unlawful migration where migrants are not even engaged with these increasingly expensive visa pathways and may even make the problem of unlawful migration worse.

This is wrong! Every person has the right to decide whom they want to marry and live along side.. I would say this is complete discrimination to the human rights and should be ban.

The new rule to test UK citizens wifes/husbands and partners amounts to telling people who they can marry or not marry ! I doubt if it will pass the UK, EEC, or UK Human Rights articles as it infringes on a persons right to private life. It also does not take into account what to do if a person is deaf and dumb
