    Poached From Facebook

    PH Is The World's Best Country In Business English - according to a newspaper headline.

    Here're the Top 10 Nations:-

    1. Philippines
    2. Norway
    3. Serbia
    4. Slovenia
    5. Australia
    6. Malaysia
    7. India
    8. Lithuania
    9. Singapore
    10.Canada

    UK itself isn't mentioned, ... and, frankly ... ... I'm not unduly surprised!

    I think it's just a racket to squeeze more money from those already going through hell with the process of bringing their wives to UK

    I agree!

    When I took my IELTS exam, I actually asked myself why do I have to go through all of this as a spouse of a British National. In the first place, it's not as if we are going to talk like business people that require more technical terms and follow certain structures or write a love letter to my hubby like as if I'm going to write a book.

    Or maybe I'm just lazy.

    It's because in the past certain ethnic minorities were bringing over their arranged-marriage brides or old uncles and grandmas who were able to take no part in integrating into British society....and for whom it was necessary for us taxpayers to finance interpreters to help them claim benefits etc.

    All Filipinos are now suffering through the stupidity of those who govern this country, and the actions of a bunch of dishonest primitive parasites.

    Our prospective partners are tarred with the same brush.
