Doesn't the government love to use the phrase 'if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear', I'm sure there must be occasions when that is true - I just can't think of any at the moment!
Take the story of Adam and Rochelle, she is canadian and aged 19, they met 2 years ago when Adam visited Canada, kept in touch and married when she came over to the UK to see him again.
Sounds like a delightfully romantic story until you read about the official involvement .....
The Home Office messed up their application for permission to marry with the result that Rochelle's visa expired due to the delays, in the meantime new laws were introduced to 'protect' young people from forced marriage which means that even though they received permission and married each other, Rochelle must now leave the country until she is 21 (an "inconvenience" according to officials).
The bizzare thing is that the couple can live together as man and wife in any country except the UK - Adams country of birth. How crazy does that make us?
Who the hell is making up these laws? and what planet do they live on?
