Hello @Justwise

Any plans for a new thread?

I know you mentioned that I should open one but I'd rather not if you don't mind (you can probably guess why)

Hopefully we get a new one soon

Cheers

Although police has stated that no crime was committed. But the daughter was 17 when she started sending the images, if what the parents are saying is accurate, I believe he's committed a crime

freedomtours:
Getting appointment from that site now is had to come by, but you can still get appointment anyway.

koonbey:
Are you people even listening to yourselves?

Colonialism is your answer to a point that £600 £2700 for a year of NHS access is not extortionate like some are painting it to be?

Lmao na wah. Logic has finally died on this thread. 🤣

Peerielass:
Still a drop in the ocean compared to the number of white people working and paying taxes based on figures from the 2021 census.

Zahra29:
This is so laughably untrue....
Sure they are corrupt in many ways here....but then there is fantastically corrupt which is where Nigeria fits into

Peerielass:
Some of the Brits I know started working and paying taxes at 16. Majority of them retire at 55 because they have built up a huge pension pot by then. I also don’t know any 28 year old Brit who is not in an established career and already settled both job wise and family wise, irrespective of whether it’s blue collar or professional jobs.

We should be careful when we are making generalisations here.

Zahra29:
The general mentality is that they are saving the UK which is full of lazy, uneducated Brits. The same Brits that created an economy and society (yes colonialism etc ) that they and millions all over are very desirous of.

Justwise

Please is there a living in the US thread just like this one?

Could only find the student / visa application one

Goke7:

Classic knee-jerk.

Just like before Brexit, it was clear the care sector was heavily reliant on eastern Europeans who left after the vote.
There were only 3 options- the government facilitating a wage rise of at least 40% to make it more attractive, a collapse of the sector or lastly, the government facilitating folks from other nations to come take up those jobs.

We know what the government chose.

If that visa route is stopped (quite likely), it's only a matter of 2-4 years before those who came in migrate into other sectors with thesame labour shortage arising again. Just like with the PSW, they'd chase their tail once more while the public wallows in ignorance.

Raalsalghul:
Remember reading a particular post here some few years ago: a particular nairalander called them "bait and switch."

lavida001:
Including IHS and visa fee plus tuition fees of student plus rent and taxes we pay. It’s running into billions of £ that we add to their economy

Goke7:
when some of us say it's a hit-and-run system they are doing, it's like we don't know what we are saying. All they are interested in is the 'benjamin' and then complain and throw people out

hyzich:
When is the next election?

Zahra29:
Immigration policies and the public's ire have largely been focused on the boat crossers for a while now. Sunak even made it one of his 5 pledges!
It was the recent huge ONS net migration figures that revealed that legal migration accounts for 99% of entrants to the UK and shifted the focus a bit, so it's not accurate to say that legal migrants are targeted more than asylum seekers.

Re the bolded, not really - you could say that it's the same for people who pay taxes and NI for donkey years and their taxes go to services they don't need or have never used such as hospitals, children's services including 15/30 hrs, primary and secondary schools and others? (For people without children).

koonbey:
No this is illogical. The analogies don't relate at all.

With work you need money from somewhere to survive. So making it difficult for people to find work while also making it difficult for them to get support in unemployment is essentially condemning them to death.

With immigration it's travel that is at stake not survival. If you are not allowed to come in illegally or legally you will not die, you will simply have to remain in your country.

There's nothing clueless about it, though you or I may not like it - all countries, including the great Nigeria, have put in policies to reduce migration legally and illegally at various points.

Zahra29:
If it's such a soft touch then why do some complain if the UK decides to toughen up its rules and start weeding out non genuine applicants? Surely that should be a good thing?

A fair number have IHS exemptions.

Zahra29:
The reality is that every desirable country has somewhat difficult immigration policies, otherwise they would be overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands (or even millions) trying to come in from poorer countries. America, Canada, Australia - even with their huge land masses - how easy is it to obtain a Canadian student visa now? Or a green card via any route other than marriage and family resettlement? Australia is having discussions to tighten their student visa route, their minister claiming that many are using it as a pseudo work visa. How long does it take to even get a German student visa interview appointment from Nigeria?
It's a global issue because resources are finite - if they have uncontrolled immigration then houses, schools, doctors etc come under significant pressure.
We've already seen posts here about people complaining about long NHS waits, lack of rental homes/prohibitive rents, not being able to get into the preferred school for their children etc etc - so it's not a black and white issue

Santa2:
This is so annoying..Watch as people tweak their plans and start looking for better alternatives with faster and better settlement conditions. Good thing other countries are making plans to absorb people wey vex comot. Make I start to strategies Plan B and C

LagosismyHome:
They started with Theresa May wickedness model. Let them continue. Only them will start cancelling flight, cancelling all operation and shouting that their fruits and vegetables are getting rotten due to lack of staff

Zahra29:
Not necessarily. There are many accounts of people who paid in excess of £15000 for passage to the UK. Even migrants from places like Vietnam who attempt to be smuggled in vans and lorries pay tens of thousands of pounds - for what? To go underground and not be able to work legally, rent, use hospital services etc

There was no surcharge a few years ago. And in less than 5 years it has multiplied to around £600 a year. Reality is that it will go up further as pressure on the NHS continues to increase.

Phayie:
These guys are just confused

Focus99:
@duchess90 @justwise @mimilyrics your replies to this person situation will be very very important. Thank you
