The wise and the clever people are those that get married in the UK.Just imagine how much time, money, worrying etc you will save yourself.Not forgetting being able to communicate with your spouse in the same language
You could be unemployed,penniless, homeless and still get married here and have somewhere to live and something to live on.

I think it is against humanity which says that you can marry anybody. Sometimes you can find your best opportunity from another country - or meet somebody even in the UK who has a temporary visa and has to return to home country.
I really dont like that this is again all about rich getting treated better than others. In my workplace there are many people who have full families with minimum salaries and they are doing ok.
There are many hardworking good people in the UK who just do not have skills/"brainpower" to get well paid office jobs (even if they wanted) to earn £25000. Its not their fault that they did not get these skills naturally when they were born. For instance, many people do not have naturally skills to teach other people; should we punish them for not taking a (well paid) teacher job? I dont think so...we are asking for them something which is impossible for them. But they are important for this country doing essential jobs so that rich people can drive on the roads, buy cars, buy food from the shops etc. So we should punish these hard working people and not letting them to get married with foreigns?
Life is not always that easy that you can find your partner from the same country.
"Are they no suitable people in the whole of the UK for one to marry?."
There are, but its not always so easy to find them. Sometimes you just want to marry certain person.
