Lolllllll

Twitter has become too toxic for even Elon Musk. E never jam sef...they ll shred him like salad.

Hope he doesn't come to bluesky where we are enjoying civil intellectual discussions. He is welcome to his gremlins

Na who go give Brother Elon some therapy bayi 😜

On a final note, it's quite funny how quickly things went full circle. Elon wants numbers increased, Vivek wants wider national quotas eliminated. Its clear where this is headed and MAGAs knowing their capitalists well are having none of it.

They said is they want to increase it to 0.1 % of 'top talent'. What percentage is it now- 0.001?

Same Twitter/X and co that have laid off thousands of 'top-talent' workers

I also gather some of that 'top engineering talent' worked on Trumps properties - perhaps as an 'tech receptionist'

The good thing is North America favours family migration and also have citizenship by birth. Can't wait for top 0.1% of engineers, farmers, carers and even hookup staff to arrive. I wish Elon well in this fight

How are labour going to raise capital to build these houses, don’t we have 20 billion black hole anymore?

It's builders that'd build and there's private capital to support this.

The main issue is curtailing NIMBYs and freeing up regulation

Builders would build so far as they can sell for a good profit (i.e not drop prices). Most builders are sitting on land and not willing to proceed as they're either delaying planning or don't want to cause an oversupply. For the right market, builders would easily find the money to build- private equity, sales e.t.c. After the interest rate hike, many developers curtailed new buildings to the numbers of buyers they had.

These companies will employ a lot of staff and buy materials for these. The staff ll spend their salaries paying tax as they do, tax ll be paid on the materials and services. Voila ,growth!

I m just perking up my ears for the increase in visas for builders. I have a couple of able-bodied relatives in Nigeria who ll be delighted to help.

Hehe.. I can picture Baba Farouk... able-bodied carpenter arriving Heathrow with his hammer to help build great British homes

H1b is not for any 0.1% Elon can keep deceiving himself, O1 visas and other employment based green card categories takes care of that. H1b is for temporary workers. The capitalists are in need of temporary workers to do all the grind all those whiners can’t. Funny enough h1b is not even easy to get so I wonder why all the hue and cry, their dependents can’t even work except the main applicant gets a green card approval while waiting to adjust status.

But because as usual just like here in the uk folks are generally ignorant of visas and their requirements and how they truly impact the economy they just lump every immigrant into the same category and blame them for their woes. H1b is one of the most regulated visa category in America and just about a 100,000 scale through yearly for an economy of the size of America. So much lies out there about h1b.

I just hope it’s not a mind game the capitalists are trying to play with their fellow citizens by distracting them from the illegal border crossing the govt should focus on cos those undocumented ones are what capitalists actually take advantage of for their cheap labour including baba trump himself. We wait and see.

lavida001:
White folks are thesame in uk and America. You don’t want to work, your government brought in people that wants to do the work, you still dey complain say de want to replace you. Has anyone got a link to the great replacement paper they keep hollering about?

Na that replacement theory dey tire them.


We are just living our lives. No one is looking to replicate the replacement of indigenous folks as was the case in Australia e.t.c.

The story of man is that of migration. Change is also inevitable.

Fertility rates and economic productivity are dropping. Yet folks want increasingly more freebies (undersandable) without taxing the very rich. Wish them luck in solving this trilema.

I can only hope Africa begins to flourish just like China did so that most of our resources taken as dearth cheap prices to fund western opulence can have value added to them and be priced correctly.

Third worlders especially Indians should be placed on visa ban to the west at least for a short time. They are the highest immigrant everywhere Canada, us, uk, Australia. fgs they have their country why can’t they develop and make it enticing last time I check they are the 5th largest economy.

As for Africa and Nigeria if we continue this way sooner they will colonise us again and I bet you we don’t have the resources to stop them. France has just been given licence to mine natural resources in zamfara abi na katsina. Wake up African sheeples.

Don’t get it twisted, this visa issue is also a commercial thing, how can you ban your largest market share.

See it’s great subsidy for any nation to get into their country talents they never invested into to become tax payers in the country at no cost at all. Who is the mugu that will let that go. The benefits outweigh all the whining. For free you get doctors, nurses, techies you never spent a dime on to come into your country and you tax them to their death. Free ROI just like that.

Compliments of the season everyone. Does anyone know if there is a way to switch to the eVisa without using the brp card? I have been struggling with this for a long time as I can’t seem to find my brp card and waiting time on the phone with uk immigration is really really long. My dependants have successfully switched just me left.
@zahra, Goke, Justwise and other sabi people please help.
Thank you

Thanks for shedding more light on this. As we've seen with the UK, when most citizens talk about migration, it's largely embedded with ignorance.

Why do you refer to yourself as 'third worlder'?

wow this is hard as you need to scan your Brp for the evisa, you just need to keep waiting to get through to uk immigration to help you out and let them know you can’t find your Brp.

Firstly I think you need to report the lost Brp using this link https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/lost-stolen-damaged

Then see how you can still get the evisa without Brp.

Have you tried getting through by using paid call or email?

Don’t apply for a credit card without first checking what’s available to you and whether you’re likely to be approved. Download apps like Experian, ClearScore, and CreditKarma to get started. Once you’ve downloaded them, take some time to read about credit cards and credit scores before applying.

bidemi1190:

You ve been here for 2 years. Ask your bank for one.

Don't use more than 25% of your balance in a month.

Completely clear your balance every month and you're good.

Don't spend what you cannot pay back.

If you cannot pay off everything you ve used in a month, you MUST pay the minimum otherwise your credit score will take a hit.

Remember any balance you haven't paid ll attract interest for you to pay.

I ve got 2 credit cards.both fully paid off. It's really just to show you are credit worthy.

Hope you are registered to vote? That looks good too

Lol, you know that they are not interested in this clarion call. Their special mandate is to point out to the UK and Japan all the ways and reasons they are going downhill (basically it's all down to being too stingy with immigration), and how they can put it right (much more immigration).

Re the bolded, is this from Tinubu's visit to France recently?

missjekyll:
"Mass immigration" what does that even mean?
780k in year just gone but still oodles of vacancies everywhere.
Who will build 300k houses per year? Run theatres pretty much 7 days a week to clear backlog?

Even if everybody out of work today were to train as builders and hospital staff,it ll take a few years to train them up? Who will do the jobs in the meantime? People from overseas !

I m off to fan the flames of the maga civil war.
I want it to sink in well well. We need the heck out of immigrants. Plans need people to carry them out

Lol, oodles of vacancies everywhere. Tell this to people who are struggling to find a job. It was actually over 1.2 million in 1 year. (780k is that net figure). I hope you realise that a good proportion of this number is economically inactive. Many are children and students and some also came in on visas that had non existent jobs or the licenses were revoked.

If/when Labour is able to tame the extremely unwieldy beast of planning deregulation (it is much more complicated than it appears and not just down to so called nimbys) then they will invite extra builders as needed. Just like Qatar did to build infrastructure for the world cup - it's not a strange concept.

However it will almost certainly be a similar model to the current temporary/ seasonal worker visa that allows agricultural workers and others to come and work in specific jobs, but does not lead to permanent residency and does not include dependents. Same model the UAE uses so that they get the workforce that they need, without a permanent increase to their population.

Gift7428:
Thank you Zara
I am looking at Montego Bay and Negril.

Good choice 🙂

That's the best tourist destination out there. Commercialised and modern so you'll have access to everything you need, and it's much safer than other areas such as Kingston.

However it's worth checking with the resort if they offer guided tours to allow you explore safely.

@Zahra29

Any idea

Hi, apologies I missed your post.

The 8 weeks timeline is after biometrics but it can often take longer for family visa applications unfortunately, unless you pay for a priority service.

Your application was quite straightforward if I remember correctly so it should hopefully be decided within 3 months.

@Lexusgs430, @justwise and elders here please come to my aid o.

I renew rent on the 27th of every month. I am relocating to another city and handed notice to my Agent yesterday Dec 29th. Agent replied me that the tenancy will end Feb 26th as the notice requires one month. I checked the contract, nothing in the contract states a notice period of one month. So I asked Agent to refer me to the part of the contract that talks about the minimum notice period. Instead, Agent referred me to this part of the contract that states

''The landlord may terminate the tenancy by service on the Tenant of a notice
pursuant to any ground provided under the Act. The landlord may serve such notice
either:
a. to terminate the tenancy at its end date (e.g. a Section 21 notice to
quit),
b. to terminate the tenancy where the Tenant has broken or not performed
any of his obligations under this Agreement (e.g. a Section 8 notice of
seeking possession), or
c. to terminate the tenancy for any other ground provided in the Act (e.g.
landlord is seeking to live on the property again).''

I explained to the agent that this part does not address the notice period required from the tenant but only states the rights of the Landlord. Agent has not replied. Please, how do I go about this?

missjekyll:
I have answered you. The government revamps planning regulations which doesn't require funds,building companies stump up the cash and build the houses.

Everybody wins except the nimbies

When Private equity companies build these houses they will want maximum profit, which means high cost to rent or buy.

Where are those on benefit those not willing to work going to get the funds to pay rents or mortgage down payment.

lavida001:
That’s why I keep advocating for us to join force and revive Nigeria and Africa. Even with your ILR you will be summed up with the rest of your kind.

I agree.

Are you sure your contract is not timed (fixed term contract) ......

Look properly through the contract you signed......
