FaithfulGod4me: Since it’s coming from an agent then I suggest you come prepare financially because you are unlikely to get a shift for months. Here age limit is 16, so 12yrs old can not be left alone with his younger siblings without adult supervision. 2 Likes |

justwise: She comes from a group of stuck-in second gens who see wrongly themselves as being better. Funny enough, those she's trying to please don't see a difference between her and other Indians. The argument against multiculturalism woult be. 1. Immigrants were allowed to come in so they could work not to procreate at a rate much higher than the locals 2. Societal infrastructure is barely ready for these immigrants talk less for the kids. 3. Kids of immigrants have an option of dual citizenship unlike other Brits. I.e, they can return to the nations of their parents but they'd almost never do. 4. Just like immigrants have to pay tax, NI, and later IHS and huge visa and settlement fees, their kids which the nation did not plan for should be liable to pay a certain contribution in adulthood before they can enjoy certain benefits of the State. 5. Some have argued that second gens should pay a given frmee for a good period, write an exam and not commit a criminal offence to show they are worthy of being citizens. 1 Like |

CannyDoll: Others have called it a hood nigga vs a field nigga. I've called it wallpaperism. You put a tokenised fellow in charge of controversial policies that could affect their group. Its much easier to limit criticism that way. Take Suella for e.g. first she called Pakistanis rapists, now this. All in pursuit of an election. 1 Like |

rinzylee: There are 3 errors in your reporting. First, you write on the merits of taxes which is quite different from economic opportunity, second, you make faulty generalisations. Thirdly, you fail to highlight the economic side. On the issue of moving elsewhere, you first have to ask yourself, what skills do I bring to the table and how are those skills rewarded elsewhere and what are the benefits or cons of moving. Just like alot of immigrants are stuck in minimum wage jobs, I have also seen immigrants in jobs paying over £100ph. If you are able to command above £50ph for your role or have an in-demand skill, then you should be able to make the decision if your skills are best rewarded here or elsewhere in addition to other stuff e.g work life balance. It is not a blind gamble. Afterall, no Nigerian comes to the UK to count trees and the international market for skilled immigrants is only going to get more competitive. The irony of it all is that some good tech guys who are moving are equally earning a healthy salary here. P.s I've found the UKpersonalnance and Fireuk subreddits as good tools in understanding the wider UK landscape- 2 Likes 1 Share |

jedisco: Too bad. This is similar to what Vivek Ramaswamy is trying to do in the US elections. Trying to be more notorious to immigrants than Trump himself just so that he is accepted by the hard far right. He wants to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born in the US, even Trump hasn't gone that far. Imagine someone whose parents migrated to the US just 40 years ago has the guts to be spewing that nonsense. I don't blame them, they are oportuned to be born in a free society where they can aspire to rise to any position and they now feel they have arrived. 1 Like |

Kenn55: Hood ni**a, wallpaperism, second generation wannabe. It's an odd concept I struggle to understand for the muppets but one that far right groups have increasingly used. On retrospection, a major reason is that the only perception many second gen kids have of their home nation is what the media/society tells them plus relatives asking their parents for money. Its worsened by the fact that many parents are unable to afford trips back home during their kids formative years as they have to work themselves off. These kids then visit once or twice in adulthood and cement distorted opinion. How Nigerian families have been able to afford a trip back in the last 5 yrs? There's little good about Nigeria/Africa on the media 1 Like

Kenn55: His parents migrated legally. He is talking about illegal immigrants. What exactly is your point and how is his parentage relevant to this specific policy issue? Do you disagree? If so, why? Do you think it will not be effective? Do you believe it’s immoral in principle? What’s your proposed solution to illegal immigration, as an immigrant yourself? Or do you not believe it’s an issue? Make your case and leave him and his parents alone. You people need to learn to engage issues on the basis of logic, not sentiments and ad hominem attacks on the person making an argument. PS. Before people start responding with irrelevant assumptions, I did not say I support what he said. I do not. The point is that irrelevant personal attacks like this serve no purpose as they fail to engage the issues raised. 2 Likes |

justwise: If i know the way to do it on my own, seriously i will do it. Though i googled Tier 2 visa sponsorship jobs last night and have started applying. Although most of the companies want someone already living in UK and also someone with Care certificate. If you can point me in the right direction to get genuine Visa sponsorship employment in the UK, you will be doing this lady the favor that will last her a lifetime 😊. Please help 🙏 Money isn't even the issue. I just need something that will work. |

The Telegraph is reporting that the Home Office is planning to introduce restrictions to the health and care visa route. News article below (it might be behind a paywall, so excerpts copied below) It also reveals that the Home Office has been taking action to curb the abuse and scams, and has revoked over a hundred sponsorship licenses https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/09/24/rishi-sunak-urged-to-limit-legal-migration-election-policy The Home Office has put forward plans for foreign care workers with poor qualifications to be blocked from bringing family members to the UK. Ministers want to tighten the rules for the Health and Care Worker visa, which allows migrants to move to the UK to work in social care and bring dependants with them. There have been growing concerns inside the Home Office that the visa route is being abused, fears that can be revealed via leaked documents seen by The Telegraph. Possible date for tighter rules Home Office figures have earmarked November 2023, when new net migration statistics will be released, as the possible date for announcing tighter rules on legal migration. The Health and Care Worker Visa was introduced in August 2020 but more have been granted than was initially expected. Internal government estimates predicted around 8,000 visas would be issued but instead there have been more than 50,000, each person on average moving to the UK with another dependant. The plan is set to face criticism from the social care sector, which has long been blighted by worker shortages. Tougher rules could make it even harder to fill vacancies. But leaked documents reveal that dozens of social care providers have had their licence suspended for bringing in unqualified care workers. In one of the papers seen by The Telegraph, Home Office officials expressed concerns that “since the addition of care workers to the health and care visa route, the route is more easily exploited and misuse by illegitimate sponsors than other visa routes”. Since the addition of care workers onto the list of occupations where Britain has a shortage, the UK Visa and Immigration quango has investigated 261 adult social care providers. This has led to the suspension of 109 sponsorship licences, with 48 providers issued with advisory concerns and 39 having their licences revoked entirely. A round-table meeting to discuss the crisis was held in July, attended by officials from the Home Office, UKVI, the Department of Health and care bodies. Delegates heard concerns that many of the new care workers were not fully trained in social care, potentially putting the elderly at risk. There are increasing concerns about continuity of care for elderly people because so many are suddenly losing their carer when a licence is revoked. A document summing up what was discussed at the round table said: “Home Office officials voiced strong concerns about the care visa route itself – and misuse by non-care entities “This is partly due to the fact that care workers and senior care workers are not required to have formal qualifications and require a lower English language level for employment in the UK, which widens the pool of individuals who are eligible for this visa route.” |

Zahra29: Nothing new, they have been barking all these while on care visas and still nothing. I even blame the govt for allowing such slavery to continue. Still a wonder how you allow so much foreigners to care your elderly. Is there no better plan to that? They should get their own children to take care of their elderly and stop enslaving other people’s children. My personal view o. The greatest mistake the uk govt keep making is tying work visas to companies for too long a period. Many people have no business doing care work when they can be better in doing other professions, but when care visas looks like the easiest way to stay in the country then what do you expect? 4 Likes |
