EU court says British visa rule illegal

The European Union's supreme court told Britain on Thursday (December 18) that it could no longer require entry visas in advance for non-EU citizens who are family members of EU citizens and hold a residence permit from another member state.Ruling in the case of Helena Patricia McCarthy Rodriguez, a Colombian married to a Briton living in Spain, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) said EU rules did not allow London to insist on her applying in advance for an entry visa before she travelled from their home in Marbella to Britain.Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman said the government disagreed with the ruling. He said it would await a ruling on the issue from the British High Court before deciding how to respond.

In his last speech to parliament before Christmas, British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday (December 17) condemned the atrocities that took place in Australia and Pakistan in recent days."I'm sure the whole House will join me in condemning the outrages that have shocked the world in recent days. The siege of a cafe in Sydney ended in tragedy but was accompanied by heroism so typical of that great nation, and we all grieved with Australians today," Cameron told Parliament.Three people were killed, including hostage-taker Man Haron Monis, when police stormed a Sydney cafe early on Tuesday (December 16) morning to free terrified hostages held at gunpoint for 16 hours.
