About the economy, every person out there knows that the US economy out-performs the UK by any measurable metric. Nigerians in the US out-earn every other diasporan, and I wager even more than those in China.
Pay in the US is generally higher than that in the UK, definitely. But its not directly comparable because UK employers have much higher costs - for instance, UK employers are required to provide a minimum of 28 days paid leave, while in the US there is no federal law requiring companies to provide paid leave, so they generally only provide about an average of 10 days annually if they wish to, and in the UK, NI payroll tax per employee is about 14% (increasing to 15% in April), while in the US, employers pay about 6% by way of Social Security payroll tax, etc.

You see? Zahra, this is why our west Indian cousins see us as untrustworthy sellouts.

Have you watched Kemi's first PMQ session.... She lashed David Lammy and requested he apologies to Donald Trump......
I didn't watch the entire session but saw that clip. I had hoped that she would focus on the budget instead of Lammy's comment - it's not helpful to our "special relationship" with the US lol, plus said comment was made over 7 years ago. But I guess the temptation to score political points was too strong.

I think Trump will be fine though. Tucker Carson said much worse about Trump in leaked files and all seems to have been forgiven. Apparently Trump even offered Lammy seconds when Lammy and Starmer had dinner with Trump recently 👀😂

All these are just social not even health costs. Adult social care is the larger behemoth. No issues with the money spent- it's needed. But let nobody blame me for the bill. After, some would say it's young legal migrants coming from Africa with 'untreated illnesses' (many of which are not even registered at a GP) that are bankrupting the NHS and councils.
Lol @ the bolded delulu

Even their parents register with the GP when they come to visit for a few weeks/months.

His VP called him Hitler and still got picked as a VP, so Lammy will be forgiven

@lexusgs430

it has begun, the effect of the budget. child's nursey just sent notice increasing fees by 7% and increased notice to cancel space to 2 months from one month. this increase is not showing on my pay-slip and we are working people

Notice reads: As you may be aware, the recently announced budget included a rise to employer NI contribution, which has ben factored into the annual review to ensure we can continue to invest in our colleagues and nursery sustainably blablabla

Too late to buy Tesla now though the price may drop if Trump fails to give him a political office.

Nothing else, nothing to do with erecshun at all

Let's be clear .it's sperm you need to have children not an erecshun.

Or are people here truly planning to have kids till 80? Men continuously produce sperm.

Who knows about this dream business thing that is going around. Is it a viable investment?

ehizario2012:
In all these, social workers are still confiscating children from parents at the slightest concern?? The dynamics of the UK economy seems too complex for me to understand, how is the pounds even still so strong?? A lot of things aren't adding up. Well, people in care have to keep their jobs (so the spending should continue.)
Hehe...
Generally, taking kids off their parents should be the last resort. Most intervention is aimed at preventing that. Exceptions are in certain cases

You never see anything, if you see the financial mess in the complex care sector.....

Some parents are simply minting sterling, they would do everything to preserve the life of that cash cow....... 🤣🐄🐮😂
Seen crazy sums being spent and I'm sometimes engaged in conversations pushing adult social care to do the needful and in good time too. Wasn't surprised that my council has been struggling too. The sums spent can truly be stagerring. Reason why when folks point to minor things as the reason NHS/social care keeps needing money, I just smile.
