Goke7:People said worse about Trump never been able to carry out his harsh anti-immigrant policies…now see how market be for yankee. Point being, nothing is impossible especially with the far-right being emboldened by their colleagues in the USA & Online. They can even send naturalised citizens home if care it’s not taken. |

Jamesclooney:Has Trump sent any green card holders or naturalised citizens home yet? |

Goke7:Trump didn't say he was going to do that. Farage has said he will not seek to denaturalise anyone, but will cancel permanent residence. I think it's a given that he'll do a lot of what he says if Reform gets into power. There'll be absolutely no political benefit to Reform from reneging on this as beating the immigration drum is their only route to power so they cannot walk it back and upset their supporters, even if things have changed. This whole thing was basically meant to bounce Labour into some sort of action against January 2026, so if that works, maybe that'll be one good thing coming out of this, as those on visas need clarity as to what the current government will now be offering and from when, given that it's said its current offer will change. The state of limbo is not helpful - people need to be able to plan in line with any new rules. |

Cyberknight:UK Immigration rules that change every market day? The rules are not worth the paper they’re written on jare. From Theresa May to Boris Johnson to Rishi Sunak now to Keir Starmer, they keep toying with it. Make everybody just get contingency plan for back pocket. |

Cyberknight:Cancelling permanent residence is an overkill, except if the UK is becoming a kangaroo society, trying to please a base? But that doesn't mean you begin to say stupid things you know you can never get legal backing for (even some Brits are already speaking out against it). Even the 10-year route to ILR for skilled workers is still being tinkered with because of the legal backlash that may occur, so Farage had better not get his hopes too high. He's even under pressure now after the Trump visit with all the proposed US investments, of which though we can't trust tump but if it works could see the UK economy boucing back strongly which won't be good news for Reform which I think it's the reason they are trying to up the stakes with this silly ilr ban, come on, somone must be drunk with that kind of thinking. Nonsense! |

Jamesclooney:Lol. Everyone potentially impacted should basically adopt a permanent "brace" position - another given these days. Ultimately, Reform has actually done something reasonable in the sense that they have given advance notice of their plans if they do find their way to power. |

Goke7:I think it's been made clear to the world since the start of this year that the separation of powers in a democracy is a fragile thing. However, the UK is a so-called an elective dictatorship and its government, once decided, has absolute power unchecked by the courts which it can exercise if it so wishes. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Jamesclooney: 5:13pm On Sep 22, 2025 |
Cyberknight:Democracy as a whole has been exposed as a scam or at the very least, overrated. Get enough racist supporters (as an example) and gbam you’re in government! American movies don scam us oo |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 5:17pm On Sep 22, 2025 |
Cyberknight:The same absolute power and elective dictatorship can’t stop illegal crossings but can only suppress legal and law abiding residents. Something is amiss with such powers. In naija parlance their head no correct 😂 |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 5:19pm On Sep 22, 2025 |
Jamesclooney:Democracy is not a scam, you only have weak and intellectually deficient politicians with no progressive ideas. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Cyberknight: 5:20pm On Sep 22, 2025 |
Goke7:Operative words are "once decided". The government hasn't decided to stop the boats yet. ![]() |

Jamesclooney:As Churchill said, it's the least bad form of government. An enlightened or benign dictatorship Singapore-style would be the best, but those are one in a million. |

Cyberknight:I can assure you that even Farage won't be able to decide or 'Operatively decide' to stop any boat, as well, if he ever gets into Downing Street! phew |

Goke7:Anyone potentially affected should take a brace position and plan alternatives. The UK is ultimately going to become more nationalist with minorities and vulnerable groups being scapegoated even by Labour as they are chasing the tailwind of reform. I expect Labour to roll out some very restrictive policies against legal migrants in the coming weeks to try to take the wind out of Reforms sail. Ultimately, everyone other than the stereotypical white British will likely be hammered and blamed at some point in time as nationalists gain in the polls. The UK's path to a turnaround is likely to be in the events that the US strong rightwards swings result in severe economic and social setbacks much like UK's experience with Brexit became a lesson for other right-wing parties in Europe to shelve the idea of leaving the EU. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 6:10pm On Sep 22, 2025 |
Fred2020:Very true reason I've been an advocate of folks seeking alternatives, which is why I'm always surprised when some folks here start kicking and saying all sorts of things against such an idea. Many have silently been seeking alternatives and relocating from the UK. The truth is all these measures will eventually lead nowhere, as it does not actually address the very economic reasons that are the root of all the anti immigration schemes. Already in the US, the economy has plummeted, which is why Trump and his gang have been trying to use the death of Charlie Kirk to rally their base against the opposition, knowing very well they are almost screwed in the next mid-term elections next year. There are also resistance here and there despite how the far-right folks have increased in popularity. I think the mid-term elections in the US will really determine how fast we may see a reversal in all this craziness going on. Once the economy continues to hit hard, especially in the US, it will be more difficult for the Republican Party to ride against the waves, no matter the culture wars they deploy. The UK PM was the one who actually played into these folks' hands with all those earlier economic policies of scrapping welfare here and there. If he were more focused and brave enough like his counterparts in France and Germany, Nigel and his gang wouldn't have grown this much in popularity. His political naivety is what has caused all this. |

Fred2020:In the US, many people have suspended belief. They voted in their current government to "cleanse" the country, and they believe that it has to do what it takes. It's a movement. Doubt anything even up to another 2008 and all that will change that. |

lavida001:Not surprised. Guessing this is how you hope to build Nigeria. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 7:38am On Sep 23, 2025 |
Fred2020:Well said. The reality is that many will struggle with that given the general preparedness and current world climate. It does seem the only thing stopping Reform at this stage would be a woeful performance of Trump or a huge scandal. A scandal is less likely given Nigel's supporters would turn a blind eye to anything he does at this stage. |

Goke7:Hehe... I wouldn't be surprised if Starmer's response to this is to hasten up the 10yr ILR bill. He and Kemi need to understand they wouldn't beat Reform in right wing policies neither would they convince core right wing voters to choose for them over Reform. My main concern with Nigel is that he has shown he can cause havoc out of government by driving policies even for governments that oppose him. If not for the folks that my suffer, I'd really want him to be PM. In a country like the UK with a promptly unforgiving political system (unlike the U.S), it'd be nice to see him run the economy. |
