Just a thought but on this forum there are so many people going through/gone through hell and high water to get a visa to get into Australia. They spend not only money and time but also invest emotionally always working towards getting the visa which will enable them to have a better lifestyle for their families.

So now consider if you were to want to come into the Uk. It seems to me you need not speak the language, nor have any qualifications and once you
get here money is thrown at you. Can anyone on this forum see a time when the British govt will put in place some of the same measures and standards that the Australian government has?

Also just to be clear I am sure that many immigrant coming into the UK are here for similar reasons as those of us who are going to Oz. I am sure that they too want to give their families a better lifestyle. But surely now is the time to put in stricter controls.How else is the UK going to become a better place?

As I said just a thought-I am in contemplation mode at present!
