Can I suggest that we keep the discussions in the same thread, or it will get confusing?

Extension of what? What unskilled category are you referring to?

Criminals

The Home Office earlier published a consultation paper on making it a condition of entry that spouses who apply for visas to join husband or wife in the UK should have to pass a basic English test.

Around 47,000 spouses were admitted to the UK last year.
So spouses who don't speak english are criminals??? :-)

For a moment we will need to keep aisde the point that many immigrants can't speak english, and look into this BBC artcile first.
I have to say even BBC don't seem to understand or speak english well in the first place.

What a huge non-sense was that categorisation in that article.... spouses who can't speak english - how come a note on this got categorised under Criminals caegory of summary??? :-)

Outrageous!
