Well, they are free to make changes as they deem fit so far it appeals to their base. It's all politics at the end of the day and the populace will vote for one who seems to tackle what they deem most important.

I am just waiting for the full implementation of the 10 year route so everything is final. I would honestly like to see who else they will blame after all is said and done.

They blamed EU and left

Students have gotten stick
Legal immigrants have gotten stick
Illegal ones have gotten some too

..Maybe they will point at the US and Canada next grin
They are pointing at China now grin They said secret state info was stolen.

It's being implemented in style, salary thresholds have gone up, Immigration skills charge for sponsors has gone up by over 30%, which will make it difficult for more companies to sponsor, and the medium skills list category can be wiped out or reviewed by the end of 2026. All these will ensure that not many will make it to either the finish line of 5 years or 10 years.

China is only doing what they (the West) have always been doing, so it's a case of that Fela song:

You be thief (I no be thief)
You be rogue (I no be rogue)
You dey steal (I no dey steal)
You be robber (I no be robber)
You be armed robber (No be armed robber)

lol true sha

everyone is spying on everyone
Nobody is a saint
That said

UK will soon run out of excuses and have to tackle the elephant in the room, which is rentier neoliberalism

This is what has ruined this country for 45 years and UNTIL they address that, the masses will keep suffering

grin how will you know you're being spied upon if you're also not spying?

That's a good question
BTW I read a report last month about how Xi is increasingly becoming wary and paranoid of the returnees from esp the UK and the USA....

That some of them (well many of them) have been recruited as spies and they are very paranoid about hiring them in key positions

It got me thinking of Nigeria
And how many people in key positions are alresfy recruited by foreign powers and Nigeria doesnt know

Or who knows ?
Nigerian govt may have covertly sent some of us who jaapa undercover to become spies here on behalf of the Nigerian govt

It's really a maze that I keep trying to reason out

like they say in Naija now, 'we all know what we are doing' Let's the spying continue!

I agree with all your submissions earlier, it's all distractions from the main issues begging for attention, but continue to be ignored

We will see where this will end. It however will free up the market a bit for people with the right skillset

God help everyone smiley

Hehe... things can still get alot worse.

After the 10yr limit is implemented and people don't feel their lives are better, houses don't get cheaper, wages don't shoot up, there is still road traffic or NHS still has problems, then folks would turn around and still blame new migrants for their woes narrating how migrants of 2020-2025 were true contributors. 15yrs perhaps or a complete stop to citizenship by naturalisation might be be the next call. Afterall, Saudi Arabia does xyz.

The main thing that'd stop this rally would be if it's shown to affect the economy
The chap who during the riots blamed me for not being able to buy a house/car has still not done so since I left but has however moved on to the next migrant as the reason for their woe.


The buzz word today is 'uncontrolled migration'. Even in countries like Australia with minimal undocumented arrivals, the media is chorusing the same. The interesting thing with some of these countries is that their rate of population growth today is less than historical standards. The only thing is that those coming in now are brown.

That’s the problem it’s all rooted in racism just hiding behind the buzz word uncontrolled immigration.

That's why they have such supporters. It's been said that Trump actually moved from the democrat party to the republican Party because of such brainless folks he can lie to and take advantage of.

I get that

But especially the black kids (boys)

Once you show signs of unseriousness

The teachers go just bone you

If you wan leave jaguda life
Its up to you
Na you sabi

They will try in the surface to do one or two discipline

If that one dossnt work
Eeyah
Tough luck
Na you sabi

That's where African parents packing care shifts left and right without caring about their kids are gonna cry and cry blood

Because they think its still Africa where you can outsource your responsibilities to teachers

Here nobody send your pikin
next year there will be new students and thats the end of it

It's easy to blame everyone else for your woes instead of looking into the mirror
