Goodenoch:
Stop it please, don't you know all they have to say is "my ancestors came here from the commonwealth when they could get citizenship upon arrival", and the Reform folk will respond "aite mate you're a true Brit and entitled to be here, not like the other ones.



😆

You’re not saying it very well jor. It’s like this ‘my parents and grandparents were proper and legal migrants (asylum seekers o) who made lots of net contributions to this country unlike you immigrants now coming here for benefits’ 😂 I understand what it means to be British unlike you! In summary am British but you cannot be one as our country shouldn’t become an hotel.

You never jam! 😂

Lexusgs430:
I never talked about ECHR...... 😂

My argument, was based on historical assumptions (I have chop humble pie)...... 😂🤗

Ok o 😂

Raalsalghul:
Illegal immigrants ✅
Legal immigrants ✅

The next set they would come after are ethnic minorities with ILR/Citizenship.

That’s usually the progression; they will start by claiming they after only criminals, then move on by saying any illegal is a criminal then from there they will go after legal residents saying it’s not a right but a privilege then finally pounce on settled ethnic minorities by saying they are not English or British or attack DEI policies! You gerit? If you don’t gerit forget about rit 😂 same playbook in the US. That’s the right wing for you!

Lexusgs430:
*Updated *
Labour don join bad gang, changes in legislation by default, is not usually retrospective in implementation.... We are indeed living in a different world now......

😂 Shebi you were arguing then? Do you still want the uk to leave the echr?

Is this not what was expected of him the wcq play-off? Dude blew it off

Athletico is poor sha but they finally survived!

DrYa:
I really pray they don't

It’s 3-0 now 😂

Athletico needs a miracle to survive this

Raalsalghul:
What makes you feel they haven't consulted with their legal team?

Are they the only one with a legal team? Every one will argue their case and the court will decide, innit!

Atletico is looking like they may throw this away but I hope it doesn’t happen

HustlaOfLagos:
LOL

Many won't. Most people did not get sponsorship right off the bat so a lot will still get locked in. There's nothing that suggests they cant bring something up again when people are due at the end of their proposed 10 years

That’s why the courts need to intervene!

abuhusna1:
Court will is the final hope. I dont think what she wants to do is possible. The only reason she extend to August might be because of the election coming in may

The courts obviously will have the final say!

HustlaOfLagos:
LOL I said it several moons ago

Evidence they presented from stats was too damning and it will take a major miracle & maybe the opposition party for it not to go as planned

My own question remains if it will affect global talent too

I remembered you mentioned and quoted a particular clause on GTV, where, to qualify for ILR, earnings and income considerations will also apply. Look, it's not about any visa category anymore, but reducing greatly the number of people who will eventually cross the Red Sea from visa to ILR.

abuhusna1:
The Home Secretary has confirmed that the qualifying period for permanent settlement in the UK will increase from five to ten years from Autumn 2026.

The change will apply retrospectively, affecting many individuals who are already in the UK and currently on a route to settlement.

Despite significant opposition, and although the results of the public consultation that closed on 12 February have not yet been published, the government appears to be moving forward with the proposal swiftly.

While details could still evolve before Autumn, employers sponsoring Skilled Worker visa holders—particularly those who were expecting employees to become eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) towards the end of 2026—should begin preparing now for the possibility of extended sponsorship periods.

Advance planning is especially important given the time it can take to secure increases in Certificates of Sponsorship allocations.

As previously reported, in an interview with The Times, Shabana Mahmood confirmed her intention to press ahead with the ILR reforms, stating that the changes would apply to individuals already in the UK. She indicated that the legislation would be amended in the autumn and described the reforms as necessary in light of the “historically large numbers” of arrivals since 2021.

So people wasted their time filling petitions, survey and questionnaires up and down 😂

Raalsalghul:
Wasted vote shebi?

We will see.

😂 You’re their new campaign manager ba?

jedisco:
It's just like the 'family voting' brouhaha they wanted to use as excuse for the last defeat or Trump claiming the election he lost was rigged. When you look at the actual numbers, it's more of a storm in a teacup and doesn't really move the dial except for performative wickedness

Let them remove the voting rights sef before they start blaming immigrants for losing elections or they start saying they are threatening their democracy. You know even if Brits start having malaria now you know who they will blame again 😂 Biko many migrants are not actually interested in voting in the first place. It’s all distractions from lazy politicians!

jedisco:
Hehe.. the earlier nations understand, the better.

My worry for African nations here is that we're still individualised so it's easy to pick us apart. Looking at Europe, most of their strength today is due to the union. They come to the negotiating table as one block which is indeed powerful.

African nations are too territorial to unify as a block. Even within nations there are territorial tensions. For example see the dispute over the Nile river among Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and all the way down to Rwanda, you don’t expect such countries to come together when there are a lot they are already contesting for. It’s that hard and deep!

jedisco:
Hehe... didn't take long...

“Meanwhile, allowing non-Brits – people with zero connection to this country – to vote on our future is absurd. It is right that only British citizens should be able to vote in British parliamentary elections.'


How can he say commonwealth residents have zero connections... most of us are distant relatives and former subjects of the crown.

Eitherway, let's see if Labour would latch unto this in their right wing drive. I doubt though as Reform/Restore seems to be most affected here.

Their own meaning of connection is different o! Na wetin Dey make Aunty kemi Dey hala these days 😂

Arsenal keeper deserves special bonus for today’s match

abeg na this kind goal I wan see Iwobi dey score in GWG, Fantastic!

In a World Cup year, our players are just in superb form omo!

lbrichman2:
Call Guardiola name with your full chest, bros
Lol

😜 you want me to be sued for cyber bullying?

TheSuperNerd:
Thanks O jare. This is the game. But wait ooo.. Uche actually scored once and not twice. Na wa... I mixed up that part. I just checked another 2006/07 La Liga season video and it shows Uche scoring against Madrid in the reverse fixture in same season.

He scored twice vs Madrid in 2006/07 but not in same game. A real terror to Los Galacticos that had Van Nistelrooy, R9 himself, Beckham, Ramos, Prime Cannavaro, Prime Casillas and more. Uche had 4 goals against Madrid (2 with Recreativo, 2 with Getafe).

Football has really changed just look at how players are freely expressing themselves not this push and start we see these days.

Cyberknight:
I've no opinion either way as to the weight or number of potential or actual Commonwealth voters in the UK - just mentioned in response to the earlier post that Reform has indeed taken official notice of this. And while I find the concept of actually casting a free and fair vote exhilarating, given where we come from, I wouldn't care if the government took away this right from Commonwealth citizens - it is indeed somewhat unjustifiable from a UK citizen stanpoint.

Ultimately, it's another of Farage's ways to shift the discourse to topics so he can control the narrative, such that Labour will be forced to take notice and possibly have to be seen to be doing something as per usual. Cf. the student loans discourse, for instance.

The commonwealth citizens in the final analysis eventually become uk citizens and when they can’t due to being denied ilr or unable to extend or switch visa categories they exit the country so taking away the right doesn’t even matter but however the deform party can keep having their fun!

Cyberknight:
Er... it appears they are.
https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/reform-uk-would-limit-polls-to-british-citizens-and-scale-back-postal-votes-5HjdTfd_2/

Seriously I doubt it will make any difference as most commonwealth citizens are not even aware they can vote and when they are aware many don’t actually participate. This is just an excuse to continue to rile up the base as usual. For starters what’s even the figures if we also add EU citizens that are residents (as so many exited after Brexit) that could actually impact the outcome in any major election reason I stated earlier about the concept of wasted votes!

jedisco:
Talking about Trumps tarrifs, just learned that the new blanket 10-15% he introduced was via another section in the law after the U.S supreme court rendered most of the previous ones illegal as the section of the law they were based on was not meant to be for such. Every nation is now on thesame tarrif including our U.K which gave Trump an 'unprecedented second state visit' to appease him and China wey no send am.

Also, the section of law he bases his new tarrifs on only gives a 5 month limit. I wonder what he does after 5 months..

Where does that leave the UK deal Starmer kowtowed (abi worked) so hard to get?

😂 it’s just like Ghana who accepted to allow deportees from the US to escape the earlier visa ban Nigeria got who rejected to accept deportees but still ended up on the 75 nation ban list! The man in the White House no send you even if you give him your father’s house!

do4luv14:
Which of the Galas beffie ahbi superbite

Na UAC gala o 😂

do4luv14:
Guyz these one Liverpool players don see their scoring boots, Gal get chance so

Will it be a thing of shame for Gala to lose to Liverpool? I don’t think so

Raalsalghul:
I'm curious though, why did you use the word 'waste'?

Waste in quote means knowing the votes may not make much impact in the final outcome but indeed it may reduce the chance or probability of the party you don’t want having the majority or a better outing

jedisco:
Hehe.. they still have areas they control though things are looking dire.

They lost good parts of the south to the LibDems with their move to the right and it's quite clear that most Labour strongholds would rather go Green or even Reform than vote them.

I wonder what story she'd sell to electorates now. Anti-migrant talk which has traditionally been the low-hanging fruit has now been cordoned off by the far right. It's become clear that no matter what hate she wants to spread, Reform would take it much higher than she can dire to go. If she says legal migrants need 30 years to ILR, Reform would say people like her are not even Brits. She has to now sell her rhetoric and at thesame time explain why what Reform is offering is too extreme.

I suspect they'd pivot and now look to sell themselves on economic competence.

Next few years would be good to watch.

Labour and Torries just messed up themselves thinking they can compete with reform on far right ideologies now that restore Britain has joined the fray we now have four parties competing on who is more British than the other. Just a bunch of jokers 😂 honestly I never imagined politicians here can be so stupid. The other day Braverman was trying to support the billionaire that said migrants has colonised the uk someone had to remind her she is one of the people the billionaire was referring to! The whole arena has become a mess and still no one is trying to say something different

jedisco:
Kemi the preacher.. hehe. She don see Right wey pass far-Right.

Thank God for Greens. They and Reform abi Restore may help safeguard things.

The Greens may just be a party many immigrants may just waste their votes on intentionally but I just hope they too won’t be hijacked by far right mongers with the way the mainstream parties were hijacked.

jedisco:
Nice video. Dem fit dey this thread sef

Issue is main data source they discussed was based on self-reported surveys by Ohent Pay- a money transfer company.
First thing is that these surveys are not backed by verifiable data. I understand this is quite difficult - even some census data is self-reported. While most people would and should tell the truth, quite a few aren't bothered. I know people who when they come across such just put in an arbitrary number. When asked that in Canada, I don't know where to start.

Also, many people have moved on from Ohent Pay so by numbers, I wonder how robust this is. They were quite analog and slow but used to have quite competitive rates which brought people in. With time, the likes of Lemfi beat them on rates with a sleek app too.
Lastly, these surveys are usually done at the point of signup and hardly updated.

All said, good point were raised and I think the actual fact isnt far off. Like where he listed the 'stages of development' as one carries on

Yeah to be honest it will be difficult to obtain such updated data. Only the govt can with their various legal touch points with residents so it’s understandable. I think they enumerate most things we can all relate to! I like how the guy himself was honest with the struggles his own parents had when they came in as immigrants in the uk. He’s also very much in touch with reality back home too and from his other videos he speaks about the financial and pension implications of immigrating from the uk or back home as he has another nice video on this breaking down the various countries the uk has pension arrangements with and the ones they don’t.
