US has got really involved in mid east now by carrying out air strikes against Huthis in Yemen FFS they can't help but stick their nose in can they, "World Police"
Aren't the Houthis shooting European and American ships off the coast? Let's just forget that's happening and invent an anti-US narrative? Ok
This is the kind of thing that really pushes my buttons... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx25egegpx6o ... bureaucracy at it's worst ...
well if they had left when told to this could have been sorted before the Istaeli airstrikes started .
Surely it's her own fault for over the years having not applied for a British passport, but then in a time of trouble she wants our help. Well maybe she should have thought of this sooner, as her kids were growing up...unless I've missed an important bit of the story here.
As for the £350 again you should always plan in advance that if you might want to return to the UK at some point in the future, you ensure you have funds in your account to pay for any future unknowns. I remember a friend asking me for a advice once on going to live in Australia, my reply was fine, just make sure you have enough in your bank account to cover a flight ticket home, in case it don't work out.
Bureaucracy? This isn't a bureaucratic problem at all. She isn't a British citizen and doesn't have a visa. The British guy she's married too hasn't even lived in the UK for over 20 years. It says in the article that their 16 year old daughter, Rebecca, booked the flights was likely told the wife wouldn't be able to join them and "decided to go to the airport anyway and have a go" What insane, terrible bureaucratic nightmare is that? He could have sorted her visa weeks back, but he's in Iraq picking up land mines.
