It’s a lesson for the entire Europe, their bootlicking to the US has been irritating for too long. Once US bans anything they will just follow even when there’s no reason to do so. Am partly happy with all what is going on, many thought Trump was back to do them a favour to upheld their supremacy but alas na wotowoto left, right and centre dem they collect. At least for now all those talks and rhetoric about migrants replacing them don reduce cos their own hands are full of how to handle the orange man. Imagine Canada banning liquors from the US off their shelves. That’s how bad things have gone for them. For my little corner I Dey laugh 😂. The movie sweet gan.

It is because they are kith, aka they are white people. Also, the US through the Marshall Plan rebuilt Europe. So, they see themselves as one. The reason they are shocked at how Donald and his team are treating them. But when some of us praise China for what it has achieved and how it has behaved so far, we get criticised. It amuses me to read Black Africans criticise China. Without Chinese technologies, many Africans would not enjoy modern technologies. And oh yes, the entire debacle sweetens my heart. It is hilarious for the EU that has cursed out at China to go begging. Well, China cannot be bullied or intimidated - they said so themselves. I am extremely proud of Chinese elites! Very proud of them!

Anyway, this century is for China. People should get used to it.

When I travelled with KLM last month, I specifically asked the lady at the counter, if transit visa was required to transit via schipol......

Her answer was affirmative..... KLM even has a message on their booking portal....... And a friend that flew lufthansa, said same.....

I don't know when they switched the rules.... I always thought, so long as you don't exit the transit airport, you're fine...... 😁

I wonder when was this please? Because I still used KLM in October to Nigeria without a transit visa and no issue at all. A friend of mine did the same as recent as 3 weeks ago.

On klm website there is a dedicated page that tells if u need a transit visa or not. And if you are not a uk citizen or usa citizen or canadian citizen it says u need transit and i am talking of one year ago. Mind you i had brp.
I guess it just depends on who passes you through.

https://klm.traveldoc.aero/
But on thier website it says u need transit.


Updated: i checked now and it says u dont need transit anymore so far u have brp. Tbut last year it said you needed, infact i had to quickly apply for a transit.

Begged, as in strongly appealed. As I maintained in an earlier comment, previous PMs and US presidents had a different relationship and interacted as equals with mutual respect. Such was the case (mostly) with Bush Jnr and Blair. In fairness, Bush Jr was a very different statesman to Trump, and Blair was also a dynamic PM and very strongly allied to the US.

Fun fact - Did you know that it was the UK who proposed the invocation of Article 5 to the US?

Also, under Article 5 military action is not automatic. Instead it compels member states to assist by taking "such action as [the member state] deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area

Blair needed Parliament to approve his decision to go to war. He obtained authorisation for military action following a historic, compelling speech in 2003 and by stressing an imminent threat from Sadam Hussein due to his alleged possession of WMDs.

Blair was later investigated for deceiving Parliament with claims that he misused intelligence and overstated the threat posed by Iraq. The argument was that the UK's decision to go to war was grossly misguided and it was a huge scandal that ultimately contributed to Blair's resignation.

Ultimately, however, it was a decision that Parliament freely voted for. We were not dragged.

Noted for the next time a discussion comes up about 'underlying causes.'

That war caused ¬200,000 civilian deaths, 4.4 million internally displaced people and 2.3 million refugees scattered across various countries.

The irony for those who support a party with hostile antimigrant policies at its core believing they would not be view differently because they were born here or now have citizenship.

Maturedhustler:
Dear all,

I don’t know if this is peculiar to me or someone else had experienced/is experiencing same.

I submitted a visa application since January 2025 and no decision till date (more than 8weeks).
Other colleague from same organization submitted her own application after mine and got decision within 3 days.

I have called UKVI and was told I should wait for a decision after 8 weeks. In my follow up mail, I got a response that there was a problem with ISC payment link and no advice on timescale to resolve.

Is there any other action I can take to get the decision on time? The wait is traumatic and affecting other family plans.

Thanks.

Good afternoon my people,

I dearly need your advice at this point. I’m yet to get a decision after 9 weeks and have urgent reason to travel 1-2 days from today.

I plan not to return till the visa is decided. I will appreciate getting response from someone who had found him/herself in similar situation. Thanks

Assuming you applied for a skilled worker visa, it's advised not to travel outside the Common Travel Area (which includes the UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man) until your application has been decided, as otherwise the HO will deem your application withdrawn.

Yes, even when the Americans said they had no interest in invoking Article 5 themselves but were not opposed to others doing so. When millions protested, the UK political class edged on with the war.

Goes to show how for decades, the UK had been 'keen' to show its support for America - even to the point of engaing in a frivolous war.

Kenn55:
America needs others more than others need them in the long term. They are they ones that want to be super power like China and Russia. Others are okay being normal countries.

I absolutely agree with you.

Just like with Brexit, its FAFO season. The U.S could easily deal with any western nation but taking on the lot collectively would be a struggle.
I have long said that America should pay countries for holding their foreign reseves in the USD. Rather what many get are threats of confiscation. If the usd stopped being a global reserve, where would America see the valuable trillions to fund its war machine? The outsized consumption of their local economy they are now using to bully others that aim to sell to them could only be sustained by the USDs dominance

Many western nations in general are startled cos a good chunk of global benefits that have come to them over the last decades have been via piggybacking on the post-war American-led global dominance.
Without America, none of them including the EU would be able to step in. The next alternatively would be China which they dread.

Hehe. Both parties benefited hugely. Their stranglehold on global economy was set in place at Bretton Woods

For Canada, if Trump proceeds (unlikely) , Canada might be hit hard. They never saw it coming and have little alternatives. Two takeaways would be that the current ruling Liberal party which was set to lose the next election might see a turn around of their fortunes thanks to Trump. The favourites were the Conservatives which have struggled to put a fight against Trump.

The second being economic growth- as we've seen in recent decades with virtually every major western nation, when they struggle with economic growth, they inevitably turn to migration. This might lead to losening of already relatively lose immigration policies to boost growth.

It's a huge lesson to the Australians though who like to abuse the Chinese despite a good chunk of their economy being supported by suppling essential raw materials to China. If their buyers begin to look elsewhere, na dem go suffer pass.

Can't like this enough. China's emergence is virtually one of the few viable means for Africa to escape the stranglehold of the west

Reason why when western folks start warning about Chinese loans to Africa, my first question is 'why do you care? Ask them that and you'd see their hypocrisy come to the fore. Remember asking same to Z - no answer


All said, I strongly suspect a western sponsored media propaganda using local news media. If not, how can we explain representations below. Why has there been deafening silence on the money we borrowed from the IMF or western pension funds via eurobonds etal and all the focus has been on China when the little we got from China has been at transparent rates and have been responsible for most significant developmental projects over the last dispensation. I want to see the terms of Chinese loans improved on but the western alternative is not the answer.

The way world economy works, the the west prints their money out of thin air, distributes it in their economy where it improves living standards and is invariably is accumulated in certain pots- banks, pension funds e.t.c. These agencies now loan this money to developing nations at exorbitant rates. As developing nations cannot print forex, they are forced to sell their resorces at cutthroat prices funding western opulence all to meet loan repayment obligations.
How would you explain that in 2020 ish when the average westerner was borrowing at rates of under 2% for a mortgage and some western countries at sub-zero rates, Nigeria was borrowing forex at rates close to 10%? What were these moneys used for and how do we meet these obligations?
Yet the focus of our media and western politicians was to warn us about Chinese loans got at sub 3% rates.

Usual caveats re: 'African leaders' e.t.c

Not quite.

There were some protests but the majority of the public supported the Iraq invasion at the time. Parliament approved military action because they believed there was evidence that Sadam posed an existential threat from WMDs - not just because they were eager to please the US. However were also some strong opposing voices such as Charles Kennedy the former Libdem leader.

The same Parliament voted against UK's military action in Syria ahead of the US launching a Syrian intervention in 2014. We also refused to send British troops to fight in Vietnam, despite pressure from the US government.

So it's not accurate that the UK always and unconditionally supports the US in every war.

Good afternoon my people, please I need shared accommodation in Manchester or anywhere in greater Manchester. Please help me cos I will arrive 25th of this month.

Your screenshots remind me of when we conversed that we (Nigeria) and most parts of Africa owe Western-controlled institutions and countries far greater than we owe China. I also linked an article from a prominent Western media organisation - Bloomberg - corroborating the notion. China's economic emergence has been of tremendous benefit to every non-Western country and even the West and its so-called vassals allies. The likes of Australia, South Korea and Japan would have been poorer if not for China's hooge middle class consumption and economic growth. They are just angry that the Chinese have refused to bend their knees to destroy their industries in favour of those in the West, the same way they forced Japan to sign the Plaza Accord.

The initial so-called "debt trap" was from an Indian economist or so, and I won't be surprised he was funded by the now defunct USAID - the then funding agency of so many mumbo-jumbo policies all over the world.

Well, as I keep reiterating, China is not going anywhere and won't be bullied. I am not so certain of the latest results, but once the EUV machines are produced, that is the end. Nothing is going to stop Big Daddy China. Churchrat countries like Canada and Estonia think they can challenge China.

I won't lie, the events of the last one month have been of tremendous joy to me. Let them talk down at China, let me see. The tariffs are even opportunities for us - sell to those who have been tariffied and buy at cheaper rates from those who are tariffying. I like what South Africa is doing and I want to believe the Black elites would gradually shift trade towards East Asia/SouthAsia and Southeast Asia AGOA will be a tussle to re-sign.

UK VISA APPLICATION QUESTION/HELP PLEASE

Tier 2 Skilled Worker qualified for ILR last year. Because of the huge costs, she couldnt renew her 2nchildren's Dependant visas - meaning the children have effectivley over-stayed.
Last week, she got her Uk citizenship. The children are still 'overstayers' as they still have no valid visas. She would really have loved to get visas for the children, but the cost dear die.
The 2 children have diffferent stay periods in the UK and are both under 16.
Child A: Was born abroad, but have spent 7 years in the UK (2 out of those 7 years are as an 'overstayer').
Child B: Was born abroad, have spent 3 years in the UK (2 out of those 3 years are as an 'overstayer').

Assuming she is able to get a loan from somewhere. right now, what sort of visa can she apply for, for the children? Can she apply for citizenship for them? Or does she have to apply for ILR for the children?

Please, what are the options right now? She has considered getting a lawyer, but the lawyer charge quotes are huge and scary.

Can anyone here help, please? Please. I mean help with suggestons, recommendations or any 1st hand experience?

This is what Gemini 2.0 is suggesting but i am of the opinion that you need a lawyer for this :
This is a complex situation, and it's understandable that your friend is concerned. Here's a breakdown of the issues and potential options, keeping in mind that this is general guidance and professional legal advice is crucial:

Key Issues:

Overstaying: The children's overstaying is a serious matter. It can negatively impact future immigration applications.
Citizenship vs. Visa: The mother's citizenship significantly changes the landscape.
Children's Rights: The children's length of stay in the UK is a factor to consider.
Financial Constraints: The high cost of immigration applications is a major hurdle.
Potential Options:

Child Citizenship Registration (Section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981):
This is the most likely route. Now that the mother is a British citizen, the children may be eligible to register as British citizens.
Section 1(3) allows for the registration of a minor child if the Home Secretary considers it appropriate.
Factors considered include:
The child's best interests.
The child's connection to the UK.
The child's length of residence.
The fact that the mother is now a British citizen.
Child A, having lived in the UK for 7 years, has a stronger case than Child B, who has lived in the UK for 3 years.
The overstaying period will be taken into account, but it does not automatically disqualify them.
This is generally cheaper than ILR applications.
Applying for a new visa:
Given the overstay, this is likely to be very difficult.
It would involve explaining the overstay and demonstrating compelling reasons for granting a visa.
It's unlikely a dependant visa would be granted, as the mother is no longer on a Tier 2 visa.
This is not the recommended path.
ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain):
This is generally not the correct path for children of a British citizen. Citizenship is the more appropriate route.
ILR applications are also very expensive.  
ILR would also require that the children meet very specific requirements, that they likely do not meet.
Human Rights Applications (Article 8 of the ECHR):
This could be considered if other options fail.
It would involve demonstrating that removing the children would violate their right to a family life.
The children's length of residence, their integration into UK society, and their best interests would be key factors.
This is a very difficult and expensive route.
Recommendations:

Prioritize Citizenship Registration: Focus on applying for citizenship registration under Section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981.
Gather Evidence: Collect evidence of the children's residence in the UK, their integration into society (school reports, doctor's letters, etc.), and their best interests.
Seek Legal Advice (Limited Scope): While full legal representation may be expensive, consider seeking limited-scope legal advice. This could involve:
A consultation to assess the children's eligibility for citizenship.
Assistance with completing the citizenship application form.
A review of the supporting documents.
Contact Charities and Organizations: Some charities and organizations offer free or low-cost immigration advice.  
Home Office Guidance: Carefully review the Home Office guidance on citizenship registration.
Important Considerations:

The Home Office has discretion in citizenship applications.  
The children's best interests are a primary consideration.
The overstaying period will need to be explained.

For the child who has lived 7 years continuously in the UK, she can apply for ILR based on his/her private life. As part of the application she would need to prove that it is unreasonable to expect the child to leave the UK, but this shouldn't be difficult especially as the mother is now permanently domiciled in the UK as a citizen. After 12 months on ILR, she can then apply for citizenship for the child.

The other child is not eligible to apply for status from within the UK as they weren't born in the UK and have lived here for less than the qualifying 7 year period. Options are:

a) wait till the child clocks 7 years residence in the UK and then apply for ILR ( IF the child is still under 18 at this time); otherwise they would need to wait until they have spent half their life in the UK (and are under 25 years old)

b) apply from outside the UK, and if approved the child should be granted ILR

The lady is advised to use a competent lawyer to make the applications so as to get it right first time.

@KOVIC19COVID20, Zahra29 is right and the good thing about this case is that these kids are under 18 and you are a British citizen,

If money is an issue then you can apply for a fee waiver https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/fee-waiver.

This is not really a serious case because no matter what happened those kids will not be asked to leave the UK.

Fancy Andrew Tate as PM? Dude wants to become UK prime minister.

Sure no worries, as long as he knows that he'll have to give up his US citizenship.

And isn't he currently under criminal investigation in Florida? He must think he's got the Trump factor.

Yup when he is done with all the criminal cases against him in Romania and those waiting for him in the UK.
