PoliticsRe: Britain Is Our Home, It's Not A Hotel: Kemi Badenoch (photos/video) by Gerrard59(m): 7:02pm On Feb 06, 2025
The thing many White people have yet to come to terms with is their birth rate vis-a-vis the pension system. Fine, they are upset with the high immigration numbers and demographic changes, but as long as the pension system is tied to the number of young workers who pay into it, a corresponding increase in the number of the elderly and an anaemic low birth rate, immigration happens to be the quick-fix.

The solutions are:
- Reform the pension system to be comfortable with low birth rates and low immigration
- Increase the birth rate.

Anything else, the pension system will collapse sooner or later.

Kemis fall and disgrace is near.

15 years to get ILR. We’ll move to Canada.

And mind you the UK will suffer for it.

Lazy people over here.
It is equally harder to become a naturalised Canadian, judging from the numbers. The govt has even stated 2 million have to voluntarily leave the country, something which is not feasible.

Your perspective raises some important points, but I respectfully disagree with your conclusions.

Firstly, while it's true that skilled workers do not have to become citizens, many sectors in the UK rely on their ongoing contributions, both economically and socially. Sending them back after a short period can lead to constant workforce disruptions and a loss of expertise that hng it as a racial issue distracts from finding balanced solutions that serve everyone in the country.

Thoughtful immigration policies should aim to benefit the nation as a whole while maintaining fairness and compassion. A nuanced approach is far more productive than one driven by exclusionary rhetoric.
Even though I am an immigrant where I live, you need to understand that an immigrant is not entitled to become a citizen wherever s/he lives. The aim is to work, earn a higher income and develop one's skills. Living in a country as an immigrant does not entitle one to become a citizen. That era is gradually coming to an end. Do you advocate the same for Singapore, UAE and Saudi Arabia?

Kemi will never ever ever be prime minister of UK. White people would never vote for her. A negro woman! Obviously africans would never vote for her. Africans do not even vote. On that day they d all go to work instead of going to vote.

The next prime minister is Nigell Farrage.
That does not look numerically possible.

Those who accuse her of being biased against immigrants simply because she is one should understand that she is promoting the interest of her party supporters - the majority who are White British. If your party supporters want a particular goal to be achieved, that is what you, as the leader, should aim for regardless of where you initially came from.

Her sole allegiance is to the party's British supporters - Whites - who want to reduce immigration. She has no pledge to anyone else.

He is not trolling but stating facts. Our women are the least desirable anywhere in the world. This is statistics and I do not mean to knock down our women. Why do you think they want desperately to look differently with all those foreign wigs, weapons and make ups to look different from who they are.

I come in peace.
My interest isn't whether Black women are desirable or not. But in East Asia? Black women are way outnumbered and don't stand a chance of getting married to East Asian men. Even White women in the region complain, whereas their men are highly prized. Asian women and White men are a notoriously common pairing compared to Asian men and White women. Then someone believes because of some YouTube videos (clearly for social media content creation), then it is common or realistic for a Black Woman to marry an East Asian man in East Asia.

Okay, if you think that's a flex...it's not. They're smashing women built like 9 year old boys who are so pale you can see every vein they have.

And if you're trying to troll...that's sad.
I have no business who decides to marry any or fvck any. My point is: it is not common for East Asian men especially those in the region to marry Black women. Does it exist? Yes. Is it common? No. How many Black women live in East Asia compared to even the Middle East?

The guy is arguing as if he had meeting with all african women to come to his conclusion. He forgets that benefits is no.1 preference to some women in marriage. Even black marrying black, howmany of the marriage are done base on true commitment or love? undecided
oy.
Women of all races are hypergamous. That is not breaking news. There are MORE Black men in East Asia than Black women. So, how realistic is it for a Black woman to marry an East Asian man? In a diverse United States, it is not common. So why should it be common in a homogenous East Asia?

The constant bickering between two of Nigeria's most "enlightened" ethnic groups on Nigeria's biggest forum has made me realise that it's better to align with the White man or East Asian man over these lots. These are the people some believe will unite to build the most populous black nation.

black Americans have forgotten who they’re
Majority of them only care about sex, drugs ,money and don’t want to work for it

The struggle of the likes of Martin Luther king jr, Malcom x and other notable blacks who struggled to to free lot of them from racism don’t count to them

An avarage black American boy just want to Bleep, make easy money and blame it on the white man. 80% of the girls from 17 to 40 are all single mothers
Brother impregnating sisters without any consequences
Very disrespectful set of people and selfish too
No culture
A mother and a daughter can date and Bleep one man without shame
It's not any different from Delta and neighbouring Edo state where cultists reign. As I write, Fulani herdsmen have ransacked communities in Delta and Edo, arrested their community leaders yet the cultists or politicians cannot do anything about it. Then you have the audacity to criticise African Americans? Why do you think we're any different or better?

Let leave america
Go to most Caribbean countries where black occupies
Nothing to show despite have close proximity with America
Go to Jamaica
Go to Barbados
Go Antigua Etc
Nothing
All they care is sex and booz
Barbados and the Bahamas have higher standards of living than any oil producing state in Nigeria. Wanton sex and booze are synonymous with island nations and regions. That's not a black man's problem. Na so e dey everywhere. I once watched a video of Bonny Island on Instagram and was thoroughly disappointed with the road infrastructure. I bet Barbados wouldn't have such.

My point is, we're not any better than our Caribbean and African American folks. In fact, I dare say we're worse because we've greater resources and control of everything. So no excuse.

For 5 gun violence 3 involve black American
They feel the world owe them something and it makes me sad
Cultists dey waylay people for Warri and Benin City. When will you focus on those areas instead of the US? Is anywhere in Nigeria more developed than Atlanta or Austin, Texas? Why Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta and Bayesla no dey like the UAE and Qatar?

Here are some examples of Asian men dating or married to black women.

A black SH7fBy2SYBQ

There are still many of them out there... It might not be common, but they're now opening up to the idea of dating black women.
If I were to do the same for Black men marrying Asian women, this forum wouldn't contain us. The best chance is targeting Asian men living in Black-majority areas, not in their dominant lands. The US is one of the world's most diverse societies, yet the percentages are low ditto in the UK and even your South Africa. So why do you expect it to be common or opening up to the idea in largely homogenous countries? I have seen such pairing, but it not just common. I work with the numbers. They can date or simply fvck to see what it is like, but commitment is a big deal for most men, especially the men who haven't travelled outside their country or region.

Western Multinatiinals in Africa pay the highest pay to African people.
And that's a fact because I worked briefly for one when I was still based in Nigeria

The Big 4, Schlumberger, AXA, and the list is endless.

That right there is your answer
There are pockets of middle class in Africa IN PART because the Totals and Chevrons et al are paying good money to the locals who work for them over there

China on the other hand is opening sweatshops left and right, and half witted Africans on the ground are hailing them lol grin
They employ a larger number of persons compared to those companies you mentioned. That was how China, Singapore, South Korea and now Vietnam grew - they served as sweatshops to MNCs and local entrepreneurs. Today, they have strong and stable middle classes. So, where should ordinary Nigerians work if not factories manned by the Chinese producing everyday goods? Is it everyone PwC can employ? Less than 100 in 2016 and slightly above that in 2017 meanwhile, 76K+ people applied.

Well, if Africans don't want such, they can start their own companies and run it. It even took Indians to turn around Guinness to profitability within a year.

Fewer black men in the region, and those in the country either head back to Africa (Black Africans) or marry non-black women (Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Chinese etc). African American men have too many choices as because of the American nationality, they are highly prized over Black African men.

Black women in East Asia? Please forget about it. The stats are not in your favour.

You have done well with your post. To be fair though, from a capitalist point of view, a major reason salaries/wages are low in Nigeria is due to the high population aka cheap labour, neighbour to countries with even cheaper labour and yes, weak labour laws. When currently developed Asian countries were industrialising, they experienced the same.

But it's the owing of salaries that pisses me off. Why owe your employees?
