Yet they provide no evidence in this article nor does the MoJ that any of the 389 marriages are a "sham"jhbmike wrote:On this issue, I whole heartedly support the justice minister on this. Being married to a Latvian national myself, I am deplored that these sham marriages take place whilst attaching a negative stigma to legitimate marriages to citizens from baltic states.

He is indeed incompetent and a fool but also an authoritarian bastard. There is intent in this and its not just a bumbling mistake. It's quite obvious they want to get rid of "surplus people".
