 Hi Hi

This story came to my attention, from someone who is not only a great artist, but a cool person. She has a bit of a sad, frustrating story.

Basically she cannot marry her partner because of some bullshit laws.  The following explains it;

 Due to the immigration laws in the UK, British people are unable to marry and be with non-EU spouses unless they make a ton of money that 47% of the country is not making. Because of this, my British fiance and I (an American) and roughly 20,000 other families are unable to get married and be together until they start making more money, which is very difficult in this job climate. This affects me personally because in America I have nowhere to live but on a couch in my aunt's house, and I want to return to the UK to be with my fiance and live closer to my mom, but while this law is in place, we can't be together. Please consider signing this petition that asks the British government to lower the financial requirement and allow us to be together.

My mother lives in the UK. My fiance lives in the UK. All of my friends, happy memories, and possessions are in the UK. Over the past few years I have built a life in the UK that I am not allowed to keep, and in comparison, America does not feel like home at all. I feel trapped, isolated and increasingly hopeless. The British government has admitted that the law for British citizens marrying non-EU foreigners is unfair and abhorrent, and yet they refuse to do anything to change it


The full journal of this is here: <da:thumb id="558574398"/>


So she is asking people to sign a petition here: www.change.org/p/the-home-offi…

If you have a minute and can sign this, that would be great! If you can't bring yourself to click, maybe help out by :+fav: this journal to spread it around and help this topic get exposure :iconsupertighthugplz:
