Do you mean to say that UK forced you to come here for study/work, they have enslaved you, forcing you to stay here, live here, settle here, immigrate here?
I found the test and the book to be farcical. Like a knee jerk reaction. The statistics didn't always add up in the book. The information was random.heretic wrote:Well - what do you think I mean by the title - I don't think it is that confusing.............
I feel - as an immigrant the HO treats us like ..........or should I just say does not treat us well. We have to pay through our nose for extensions and applications and as a final insult give an exams - don't know what they have achieved by making us sit a test............I look at it as one more hurdle.................who ever learned about "life" by reading a book; that to a book commissioned by the HO with a forward by Liam "Herr Flick" Byrne.......
It is just simply that I don't agree to this method and feel it is in bad taste. I would rather there be a scaled approach i.e. where a certain class of individuals be allowed to attend a group session where the book is discussed instead of them having to give an exam.........some should be exempt on the basis of......for e.g. their professional qualification or say the community work they do.........this test is a one size fits all - and it surely doesn't........

or
Is it by your choice that you want to study/work/live/settle/immigrate here?
Its really ridiculous that so many people always just want an easy path/way to settlement and always complain about everything. Every country has their own rules/policies etc and they have the right to think what is best for them.
Immigration is a privilege and not right.
And every goverment also has the right to set the policies it chooses for its own citizens - taxation, road rules, parking fines, VAT, etc. I'm sure you never make any complaint about policies that apply to you... After all, you have the right to emigrate.netacct wrote:Do you mean to say that UK forced you to come here for study/work, they have enslaved you, forcing you to stay here, live here, settle here, immigrate here?

Although I believe in respecting a persons opinion - I don't believe 'netacct' has given us an opinion at all.........what he/she/it (netacct net accounts - for which organisation?) has shared with us sound more like right wing claptrap....essentially not a reply to the points I made in my first reply to him/her.............Siggi Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2008 2:33 pm Post subject:

who er missus, Are you sure you're on the right Forum Mr/Mrs Self-Righteous?
Excuse me 3crown Newbie, are you on the right Forum, butting in on your first blogg.
Please respect netacct opinon!
I know..............the policy is quite confusing..........on the one hand they accept economic migration and on the other they ask "to contribute to the community"............isn't paying tax enough.............not having claimed any benefit for 5 - 10 years at least + being of a age group that contributes more than it takes in the form of benefit (medical / education etc)........now you also have to do community service....!!!!republique wrote:The test is a joke and it is just to appease the masses that the "right" kind of people are immigrating to the UK but the test is not as pathetic as the community service requirement they are thinking of implementing. That would be the biggest insult to have to fulfill that requirement
