One Rule For The Rich?

A man faces deportation from the UK after a judge said his British wife's salary was not high enough...

Under rules introduced in 2012, British citizens who want to bring a foreign spouse to the UK must earn £18,600 a year and a further £3,800 if the couple have a child.

Mrs Engel's (the wife's) craft-making business made £19,786 in 2014 which was deemed not enough by the tribunal panel, which met on 3 December. She said the decision made her feel like her family was being "kicked out" of the country.

So much for the lauded British values I keep hearing about? How short do you reckon you'd have to be before they kick you out, £100, £10, £1?
