Maybe you have MUG written on your forehead
I find you quite insuling to those who have found real love through dating a site. Who are you to tell people 'how' they should meet?? or who they should fall in love with. All of us here are hard working people who save hard to see our wives and girlfriends overseas, we are not claiming benefits you know.
If you went to Phils 'splashing your cash' around, it's hardly surprisig you found the 'wrong' sort. Maybe take a leaf out of some of the lucky people here to have found the 'right' one.If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

Hold it there my friend.
Anyone reading your posts would rapidly come to the conclusion that it is YOU who are making a lot of assumptions here.
The membership of this forum includes people from all walks of life and with a wide variety of experiences concerning relationships between British and Filipino people.
Most members try to give honest advice simply as adults with both life-experience, and in most cases experience of relationships with Filipinas.
YOUR knowledge on the subject I'm happy to say is not unique, and I'm sure your opinions will be considered along with those of every other contributor.
As a rule it is a very friendly forum where we get along very well ...possibly DESPITE our different experiences and backgrounds.

I did not tell anyone how or where they should meet their "sweetheart" i just gave my honest opinion on internet dating sites
i never thought or implied anyone on this forum is claiming benefits i just stated that 26k is a low figure and that seems to have upset most of you
I dont throw my money around when i am in the philippines, actually i am quite thrifty when i am over there after visiting there many times and over many years i know what price to pay for most things

what would you advise the gov should set the figure at then if 26k is too low
remember that if he earns less than this, maybe he will be entitled to claim certain benefits, which if he is, he is then legally entitled to, also his spouse unless she has at least ILR cannot cliam benefits.
also if they have kids, either his step kids or their own born in the phils or in the uk, he can legally claim benefits for those step kids, and if they are british then they have the same rights as any other British citizens who have kids and claim benefits.
anyway this minimum income will be scrapped once it gets to court, the gov has a record at winning any cases

Ok you asked for a figure so i would say at least 30k a year minimum for someone wanting to bring another person to live in the uk permanently also they should have at least 10k in savings also
most spouses apply for ILR asap = hardly long enough in my book 10 years would be better
not all spouses remain with their partners after they get the "magic" stamp in their passports and many of them then go on to claim benefits as well

how can a figure of 26k to keep 1 spouse be a fair minimum amount, when the govermont expect
1 single person on benefit to be able to live on per year ,.............................. £5,155.80p,
example how employment and support allowance has been worked out,
living expenses ......................................................................................... £71.00
extra money towards housing costs .............................................................£6.18p
(limited capability for work addition)
extra money because you are in the work related activity group...................... £28.15p
which gives a total income related amount....................................................£105.33p
deductions for housing costs .................................................................... £6.18p
which makes a total weekly amount of..........................................................£99.15
now thats an example of a minimum 1 person is expected to live off, so how can 26k be justyfied,
unless they pay bennefits of 26k if they say this is a minimum to keep 1 person

Maybe because he's from London, and on the Lord Mayor candidate debate on the tv the other night, I heard £26,000 p/a being quoted as the average Londoner's salary.
Obviously anywhere outside of the capital is of minor interest to anyone in power, or living there.

I think looking at the stats that 26k is the national average. So I will wager that the London average is higher. Indeed it is.

I don't think he would of stated this figure if he was earning less than that or was on minium pay...IMO he justs shows a total lack of respect for all the other couples & families that this will cause very much pain & destruction to.

i may as well add my thoughts now, what a sad person you must be to pick these ladies, then for them to ask you for money, and then you have the gall to move onto the next, you sort give everyone a bad name, best bet for you is to save your money and dont get involved with anyone
