Fred2020: Anyone potentially affected should take a brace position and plan alternatives.
The UK is ultimately going to become more nationalist with minorities and vulnerable groups being scapegoated even by Labour as they are chasing the tailwind of reform. I expect Labour to roll out some very restrictive policies against legal migrants in the coming weeks to try to take the wind out of Reforms sail.
Ultimately, everyone other than the stereotypical white British will likely be hammered and blamed at some point in time as nationalists gain in the polls.
The UK's path to a turnaround is likely to be in the events that the US strong rightwards swings result in severe economic and social setbacks much like UK's experience with Brexit became a lesson for other right-wing parties in Europe to shelve the idea of leaving the EU. Very true reason I've been an advocate of folks seeking alternatives, which is why I'm always surprised when some folks here start kicking and saying all sorts of things against such an idea. Many have silently been seeking alternatives and relocating from the UK. The truth is all these measures will eventually lead nowhere, as it does not actually address the very economic reasons that are the root of all the anti immigration schemes. Already in the US, the economy has plummeted, which is why Trump and his gang have been trying to use the death of Charlie Kirk to rally their base against the opposition, knowing very well they are almost screwed in the next mid-term elections next year. There are also resistance here and there despite how the far-right folks have increased in popularity. I think the mid-term elections in the US will really determine how fast we may see a reversal in all this craziness going on. Once the economy continues to hit hard, especially in the US, it will be more difficult for the Republican Party to ride against the waves, no matter the culture wars they deploy. The UK PM was the one who actually played into these folks' hands with all those earlier economic policies of scrapping welfare here and there. If he were more focused and brave enough like his counterparts in France and Germany, Nigel and his gang wouldn't have grown this much in popularity. His political naivety is what has caused all this. |

Cyberknight: I think it's been made clear to the world since the start of this year that the separation of powers in a democracy is a fragile thing. However, the UK is a so-called an elective dictatorship and its government, once decided, has absolute power unchecked by the courts which it can exercise if it so wishes. The same absolute power and elective dictatorship can’t stop illegal crossings but can only suppress legal and law abiding residents. Something is amiss with such powers. In naija parlance their head no correct 😂 |

Cyberknight: Trump didn't say he was going to do that. Farage has said he will not seek to denaturalise anyone, but will cancel permanent residence. I think it's a given that he'll do what he says if Reform gets into power. There'll be absolutely no political benefit to Reform from reneging on this as beating the immigration drum is their only route to power so they cannot walk it back and upset their supporters, even if things have changed.
This whole thing was basically meant to bounce Labour into some sort of action against January 2026, so if that works, maybe that'll be one good thing coming out of this, as those on visas need clarity as to what the government will now be offering and from when, given that it's said its current offer will change. The state of limbo is not helpful - people need to be able to plan in line with any new rules. Cancelling permanent residence is an overkill, except if the UK is becoming a kangaroo society, trying to please a base? But that doesn't mean you begin to say stupid things you know you can never get legal backing for (even some Brits are already speaking out against it). Even the 10-year route to ILR for skilled workers is still being tinkered with because of the legal backlash that may occur, so Farage had better not get his hopes too high. He's even under pressure now after the Trump visit with all the proposed US investments, of which though we can't trust tump but if it works could see the UK economy boucing back strongly which won't be good news for Reform which I think it's the reason they are trying to up the stakes with this silly ilr ban, come on, somone must be drunk with that kind of thinking. Nonsense! |

mank1234: Blame goes to: NFF The mathematician and 94set
The were the ones that said it's not our style and that we have world class players that any coach can succeed with. And that our Nigerian coaches can do it better. Once any coach succeed, they will come out to say it's because we have array of stars at our disposal. They did it to Keshi after AFCON, Rhor at his prime and Peseiro after AFCON. During time of struggle they will enter their shell only to resurface after a breakthrough. You're very right, all of them have gone quiet now, this bad belle that ruins our football needs to be studied as a research thesis. |

daveP: I'm not even trying to blame them. The loyalty guage on the team is ALWAYS killed by the same guys that always refer to 90s set. These guys were all damn loyal and passionate just last year at Wafcon. We saw even a different Moses Simon. But they ruined it all with their decisions and expect that won't affect the players now that they have a coach that's bringing a new approach tactically? Why won't it be low morale? See the issues with bonuses as well.
How did they go from Afcon finalist to this tepid stale momentum if not leadership issues. It's so obvious that many don't even dare blame Chelle. But it was agreed here that we played rubbish in the AFCON, or were we that good? cos if I remember very well, that's why we chased Paseiro away, that our players were too good and world-class to be playing haram football. We need to put things in proper perspective, cos am one of those who still feel we ruined it all with the poor management of the Afcon success. Some tactics worked well for us that we just needed to build upon, but hey, we threw everything away in arrogance. |

lavida001: Stop telling us to build Nigeria they said, we don’t want to hear it they said. No worry Nigel and the true owner of the land go remind you 👇🏾 He explained: "We will not only say that these people do not qualify for indefinite leave to remain, we will abolish indefinite leave to remain as a category in this country."
The Reform UK leader said the anticipated cost of the more than 800,000 people expected to qualify for leave to remain in the next three years is £230 billion, what he described as a “truly eye-watering sum of money.” What about the ILR fees folks will pay to apply, is that not an eye-watering sum of money too? So folks will still lose their settled status after their money has been collected from them. The Reform Party is just a gang of fraudsters, just making mouth, let them try their luck sha! |

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you for the shout-out and I think it deserves a response.
Yesterday was one of my saddest day as a football fan because what I watched is play yesterday goes against my philosophy and belief of the game.
We are suffering because of the lean squad we have but I don't think that should stop us from playing.
Pep Guardiola should open up the academy and let the players there beef the squad.
I support Barcelona a lot because of the belief that they will never resort to negative football. Guardiola stems from it. So seeing that, no matter the excuse does not go well with me. I hope it never repeats itself.
I prefer to lose playing football the right way than win playing football the wrong way. This is due to the belief that in the long run, fortune favors the brave.
cc: TheSuperNerd Baba, you go explain tire, you want a coach to go and lose all 3 points on top of one yeye philosophy. abeg park one side. Pep has been figured out, just like MOU was, with his own kind of haram game, and now Oga Pep needs whatever he can to remain afloat. The game is the game, and it was fun seeing Man City go all the way to ensure parity. If they try that your philosophy dem for chop better goals yesterday and you want them to deplete their goal difference because of what? This is a league and not a tournament. Even Barca has re-modified their approach! |

mrwilliams9: Iwobi has quality when played in the right position. The reason he’s struggles with Naija sometimes is because we use him in the wrong position. Iwobi is not a CM at all. He should be playing further forward.
An Ndidi and Iwobi midfield is asking for trouble.
That’s like having a quality striker like Osimhen but playing him on the LW. You won’t get the best out of him.
Iwobi gets scapegoated for no reason.
And I always ask this question to those who say Iwobi is not good enough:
“Who should we call up instead?” If we continue to use him as a CM, he will also continue to be scapegoated cos we need a ball carrier and a leader in that midfield, which we don't have, hence the reason Iwobi continues to play that role that makes him look like a misfit. It's left to those handling our national team to make the necessary adjustments and save the young man from unnecessary bashing. The player himself is senior enough in the national team to let the coaching crew know where he will function the most. The national team makes him look like a mediocre player sometimes, and of course, when we don't get the desired results, not many will buy this excuse of him not playing in the right position. |

chuks404: Why are we not using iwobi the he is used at Fulham ? There is no need for Simon, iwobi is so intelligent and can be the outlet we need if used the same way he is used at Fulham. This will relieve him of midfield responsibilities It's because we feel or the coaches think we must always play him centrally in the national team. His role needs to be redefined if we are to see different results |

Talking about religious extremist.. can you tell me how many Americans that have been killed by religious extremists on skilled visa compared to those killed by White Americans? It's a waste of time arguing with ignorant people, especially when all they listen to is from the liar in chief at the Oval Office. America, with a population of over 300 million people, issues only around 100,000 H1B visas per year, of which 85k are from outside the US and the remaining 20k are from within the US. Stupid policies like these will only increase the number of illegal immigrants and overstayers. |
