This week's episode of Location Location was very impressive. The first set of house hunters was a young couple who had saved a £110k cash deposit on their own. The second househunter was a dynamic lady - a cancer survivor and rowing world record holder who had a budget of £1.25M (as a single person!). Remarkable woman 😎 2 Likes |

Does this PM Sunak not have any other campaign strategy apart from immigration? Ineptitude. |

What type of cars are in the UK, manual or automatic? I'm learning manual now but I prefer automatic |

ehizario2012: Several polls have shown that immigration is one of the top issues among UK voters, so naturally it'll be a focus of his and other parties. It's not like Labour isn't planning to clamp down on immigration either. They might seem less hardline about it now but that's only because they don't have to bear responsibility for the migration figures being announced. Once they're in and the outcry is focused on them, you'll see that they'll be talking about it a lot more, too. 1 Like |

Goodenoch:Exactly. Every political party has got immigration on their mind. This election would be really interesting. It would reveal things that Cameron’s BREXIT election failed to reveal |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by missjekyll: 8:29am On May 25 |
Goodenoch: I beg to differ. Top issues are the cost of living crisis and the NHS. Fewer people care what's happening at Dover . Which poll are you referring to? |

Anyway, here you go: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/society/trackers/the-most-important-issues-facing-the-country https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/49500-political-tracker-roundup-may-2024 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/23/key-battlegrounds-uk-election-economy-health-migration https://ukandeu.ac.uk/immigration-what-the-public-think-as-the-election-approaches/ https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/nhs-economy-inflation-and-immigration-set-to-be-biggest-election-issues https://www.moreincommon.org.uk/our-work/voting-intention/ Now, your turn - Can you show any report or poll where migration is not in the top issues for UK voters? Clearly healthcare and cost of living are the highest (as you can see in the reports up there) but migration is always closely behind, ranking ahead of security, crime, tax, education, childcare etc. 1 Like |

profemebee: Honestly its tiring to say the least, there is always something happening. Went to a wholesale market the other day, it was like I was transported back to yaba and na so someone bring out tripod to record ![]() ![]() There is already rife talks of them stopping individuals from coming due to the manner of buying and splitting and creating chaos. I even saw someone carrying box of yam/items on the head at the bus station and I begin to wonder if the market is really worth it |

missjekyll: 1. Migration concerns are not only about asylum seekers. 2. How many doorsteps have you been to and how many asylum seekers have you met? Enough to draw conclusions on the generality in either case? 3. Have you considered that it not coming up on doorsteps may be due to reluctance to discuss such a volatile subject with random strangers (with at least one of them being visibly an immigrant herself), and risk being considered racist or prejudiced? You should read about the 'silent majority' trend and it'll make clearer why despite not hearing much about it on the doorsteps, divisive issues are such key electoral drivers. 6 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 12:34pm On May 25 |
Goodenoch: 💯 And actually Labour is talking tough on immigration, just that both locals and immigrants still assume that this is the same Labour party of old that had the reputation of enabling mass migration. Labour's current policy is to train and invest in local talent to reduce the reliance on foreign labour. They've stated the current migration figures are too high and needs to be reduced by focusing inwards. They didn't oppose Rishi's recent clampdown on dependants and other measures like removing the shortage occupation discount. They also want to stop asylum seekers from being smuggled into the UK in the first place. One of the key reasons Labour has been shut out of government for over 10 years is immigration. The other is perceived mismanagement of the economy. They're now on a mission to prove they can be trusted with both which means keeping migration levels down and no free money/unrestrained public spending. |

kumbhuru: Have you got a test date already booked, assuming you need a UK driving license, as many test centres have a lead time of a few months. If a UK license is not mandated, then ensure you use a full Nigerian license and not an international one. 1 Like |

fatima04: Yes what's happening with Homes under the Hammer, I stopped watching as they kept showing reruns. Location, Location, location is on Channel 4, (Kirstie and Phil). If you have cable you should be able to watch current and old episodes. Kirstie and Phil also host another popular property show - "Love it or List it", also on C4. 3 Likes 1 Share |

missjekyll: You beg to differ? Yes, you may choose to differ. But you are 1 individual in the Labour Party. I previous heard Sir Kier Starmer saying that he admits that immigration numbers are too high, and should be cut. I think the issue is that you are (either deliberately or maybe unknowingly) conflating dingy arrivals in Dover with Airplane arrivals at Heathrow. The issue of net immigration goes beyond small boat arrivals. 1 Like |

kumbhuru: Seem a bit of an anomaly that you do not have the ‘local ‘ one, yet you are processing the ‘international’ one. Do you not need to proof that you can drive in Nigeria before you can be given a proof that you can drive internationally? 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 2:06pm On May 25 |
kumbhuru: Exactly as ReesheesuKnack said... There have been cases where a driver has been stopped during routine checks or for a driving offence and instructed to produce the driving license issued by their home country, as they do not recognise the international driving permit as a valid legal document on its own. For instance, for a UK driver to be able to obtain an international driving permit to drive overseas, they must first hold a full, valid UK driving license. Edit: Your Nigerian license is valid for 12 months from arrival in the UK. 1 Like |
