Yesterday, Saturday 30 October, London saw the second "Life is too short ..." demonstration, leading from the Westminster CCTV Headquarter in Piccadilly Circus to the UK Border at St.Pancras.

The demonstration entered St Pancras International around 5pm with a sound system playing. Several people attempted to cross the border by through the Eurostar passport controls but were stopped later by security and transport police.

On November 29th a law to limit immigration, punish people for having relationships outside of the EU and further link language and immigration controls, will come into effect. Spouses and partners, from outside of the European Economic Area, applying to come to Britain, will have to pass an English language test before they come to the UK. The government estimate that this will lead to a 10% reduction of people coming on the spousal visa. The new requirement will be debated again next Monday in the House of Lords.
