How To Take 2 Years Off Of A UK Passport Application,
get your other half to risk life and limb on picket duty!
yes caring Gordon Brown has said if your wife (I am taking this from my point of view, reverse wife for husband if it is the other way around) wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with militants on picket duty for 50 hours, 2 years will be taken from the 8 years it takes to receive British citizenship, think of the opportunities your wife will have to get injured, she could join these characters above, that are facing frustrated commuters as the tube strike in London gains momentum,
there are a few other ways she can get 2 years off, canvas for the Labour party, just spend 50 hours knocking on peoples doors and risk the wrath of an irate householder, I've got an idea she could even canvas for the BNP! in courts in the UK community service is given out as a punishment, yes, you've got it! serve 50 hours and 2 years off! for me all of this seems a bit strange, but the Home Office says trade union activism and political canvassing should count towards the planned new system of 'earned citizenship',
critics will point to the historic relationship between Labour and the unions, migrants cannot vote until they become citizens - so, by using union membership to speed their applications, Labour is potentially swelling its own support, the details emerged in a Home Office document circulated among MPs this week, it reveals that employers will be expected to give people time off, where required, to complete the service, just what a small company wants, give me 50 hours paid leave gov, I am off on picket duty!
