This can be another U turn for government like their forest plans if and only if people show their discontent as the english people showed against the selling of forests.dewales001 wrote:I'm ready and fully in support of a challenge to this in a court of law.

All migrants (except refugees) will need to be free of unspent convictions when applying for settlement. Those who are not, and have no other legitimate basis of stay here, will be expected to leave the UK.
You just don't destroy people lives this way! Where do they expect them to go to within a short period after many years in this country?
To make the matter worse, refugees are exempted from this new rule. This country is a JOKE!!
Why did i come to this country? Why??
I am so annoyed at the moment,
I fall under the JR and that was the same reason ppl went to court at that time, u just cant move the goal post right at the end!!
It says clearly in the JR policy document that ppl should be given ILR under the original terms and the then opposition party member Damian Green agreed with HSMP forum and look what a kick in the balls now!!
Shameful I reckon there will be court cases again or ppl should express their concerns to their MPs as the law is still open to parliament scrutiny.
How can a migrant who has contributed economically to the UK economy through studying or working be refused settlement because of a traffic offence after 5 or 10 years of stay in this country,and a refugee who got a custodial sentence be granted settlement after 5 years?
Where is the fairness that Britain has been known for? This rule should be thrown into the bin, because it is not balance. We should all challenge this rule and fight it out!
I think a standard letter should be drafted by some experienced member and all affected people (T1, HSMP, T2 etc) should sent the letter to their local MPs and some other measures for our voices be heard!
