Which is greater, the wealth the british empire got from former colonial subjects or the ones the former colonial subjects have taken to Britain after independence?
Throughout history, stronger empires have fone far worse than what britain did to those they colonised. Can you run to the rich Arab countries and talk this nonsense?

malali:
Good points you have raised.
But thats the whole neo-colonization we are talking about.
Keir Starmer (prime minister) was recently accused of collecting more than 100k pounds in gift. Which he quickly had to account for.
But the british authortieis look the other way when our politicians come to North London to purchase houses that cost 5 million pounds, knowing fully well their salaries are not even up to 1000 pounds.
The day Keir Starmer buys a house in Maitama above his salary and income he will be removed from office in less than 24hrs.

The way this woman takes ignore these ronuists is something else.

Yoruba people wan form attache by force but she cleared them once, she's not in for that.

You needed to see her tweets during the endsars saga, you would understand why she's distancing herself from Nigeria.

Nigeria showed her "pepe".

The speech you provided is a classic example of political doublespeak designed to deflect responsibility while reinforcing divisive narratives. Let’s delve into why the premise of Kemi Badenoch’s stance on immigration is deeply flawed, hypocritical, and devoid of historical accountability.
you are talking nonsense
Critique of Hypocrisy

1. The Colonial Irony
Badenoch’s speech conveniently ignores the UK’s colonial past. For centuries, Britain invaded, plundered, and destabilized countries across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, stripping these nations of their resources and using their labor to build its wealth. Now, those displaced by centuries of exploitation seek opportunities in the very land that grew rich at their expense, and suddenly, the UK declares its inability to “sustain the numbers.” If you loot someone’s home, don’t be surprised when they come knocking at your door.
2. Exploitation of Cheap Labor
Britain and other Western nations have long benefited from exploiting immigrants for cheap labor. From factory workers to nurses and cleaners, immigrants have filled gaps in labor markets where locals refuse to work. Badenoch fails to mention how industries like healthcare, agriculture, and construction would collapse without immigrant labor. The same immigrants she chastises for “overburdening public services” are the ones staffing those very services.
3. A Caricature of Herself
Kemi Badenoch, a Nigerian-born immigrant herself, is being used as the messenger for this harsh rhetoric. It’s a political strategy to shield the Conservative Party from accusations of racism. By deploying a black woman to champion anti-immigration policies, the Tories hope to soften the blow of their exclusionary agenda. Instead, Badenoch appears spineless, betraying the very immigrant community she represents in a desperate bid for relevance within a party that has historically sidelined minorities.
4. Selective Memory on “Humanitarian” Immigration
Badenoch cites exceptions for Ukrainian refugees and British overseas nationals from Hong Kong as justifiable forms of migration, conveniently sidestepping the racial undertones. Refugees from predominantly non-white regions like Syria, Sudan, or Afghanistan often face higher scrutiny, harsher policies, or outright rejection. The inconsistency reeks of racial bias masked as policy.
5. Integration Myths
She blames immigrants for the supposed lack of integration while ignoring systemic barriers erected by the government itself. When you demonize migrants, limit their access to resources, and segregate communities, how can integration succeed? Her claim that immigration frays the social fabric is an excuse to cover the failures of successive governments in creating inclusive policies.

What Kemi Badenoch needs to focus on.

• Public Services Mismanagement
If public services like housing and healthcare are struggling, it’s because of chronic underfunding by successive Conservative governments, not because of immigrants. Badenoch’s party has spent more than a decade cutting budgets while blaming the very people propping up those services.
• Economic Benefits of Immigration
Studies consistently show that immigrants contribute more to the economy in taxes than they take in benefits. They are entrepreneurial, innovative, and integral to growth. Ignoring these contributions perpetuates a false narrative.
• Global Accountability
The UK is part of a global system that perpetuates inequality, often through exploitative trade practices, environmental degradation, and foreign interventions. Migration is not the problem; it’s a symptom of global injustices that countries like Britain helped create.



Badenoch’s speech is a desperate attempt to distract from her party’s failures by scapegoating immigrants. It’s like a landlord blaming the tenants for the roof caving in when he never repaired it in the first place. Her policies promise to reduce immigration, but they risk gutting the very workforce keeping Britain afloat. Instead of demonizing those seeking a better life, Britain should confront its colonial legacy, invest in sustainable policies, and treat immigration as the opportunity it truly is.

She is desperate to be relevant. When they say people sell their soul for success. You are looking at a real life example. In her mind she is going to be the first black woman to be prime minister.
If you tell her to betray her parents.....she wont even think twice.

I wonder what they did to that woman. They must have dealt with her so much during her humble beginnings, that she vowed to erase her past and embrace her present and future

. I ham a British citizen by birth, I have never called my self British. I have British citizenship by birth I live in Nigeria.

The fact is she is not an immigrant. However Kemi is playing a game she knows what she is doing, when she started on politics she played the Nigerian card, when Nigerians in UK ignored her she ditched her Nigerianess, too because anywhere we assemble in great numbers we eventually destroy. Last time I was in London I almost cried.

Zionmdde:
Nobody should cry here
We are hypocrites, evert single one of us

Before you say you are not, if you were British, would you want migrants to flood into your country and inconvenience you?

Small Lagos, people are shouting go back to your land, you will even think they are talking to people from other countries, but no its people from the same country

Everybody should protect their country the way they deem fit. If they said don't come, then don't come!!!!

I don't care. Every country should do what is best for their citizens
Including restricting immigrants
No foreign country owe u anything. You can only demand any rights from your own country
