I watched this video a week or two back. It's beautiful and powerful and I think YOU, yes YOU, person of Revvy who has opened this post should watch, okay? It's definitely one of those must-watch's and so i'd recommend it to you all. I hope it touches you in the same way that it touched me and continues to touch me. It also mentions Rida which i briefly explained in my previous blog. Let me know your thoughts or anything else you want to say.

English tests for immigrant spouses fair, court rules

published by lollywood on 16 December, 2011 - 18:47

The High Court has dismissed a challenge to laws that require immigrant spouses to be able to speak English in order to live in the UK.

Three couples had challenged the rules which were introduced in November 2010.

But Mr Justice Beatson ruled the new language test was not a disproportionate interference with the couples' right to family life.

The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants said the ruling would affect many UK citizens

But Immigration Minister Damian Green said: "We believe it is entirely reasonable that someone intending to live in the UK should understand English, so that they can integrate and participate fully in our society.

"We are very pleased that the courts agree with us."
