If you're a UK citizen, please sign. (You cannot sign unless you are a UK citizen). We shouldn't be punished for falling in love with someone from another country. And certainly shouldn't have to earn above the average UK wage.

[ID: Text that reads: Don’t increase the income requirement for family visas to £38,700. Currently the financial requirements to bring your spouse to the UK is £18,600 per year and now the Government wants to more than double it. Most people in the UK don’t make that per year. We believe this policy punishes those who fall in love with someone with a different nationality. 59,809 signatures out of 100,000.]

#not my usual sort of post but as someone whos partner lives in another country... #i dont like the idea of us losing our future if i can't earn above the uk average wage #and even if this didnt apply to me it isnt fair on anyone else #theyre bullshitting that this is somehow gonna help the nhs? i guess cos they think they'll be less patients? #jokes on them when they find out a lot of nhs doctors and nurses and workers moved here from- #-other countries so if this goes through they'll be less patients but also less staff so nothing would change anyway #the government just want any excuse to stop letting people into the uk because they're always scapegoating and demonising immigrants #the vampire vents
