Raalsalghul:No 1 - The benefit system needs to be thoroughly modified. There is no British citizen who will willingly work in a care home / prison system instead of claiming benefits. There is barely incentive to work when benefit can be claimed with ease. This report was done in 2023 --> "Analysis by Civitas of Office for National Statistics (ONS) data from 2020-21 showed a record 54.2% of people (36 million) now live in households which received more in benefits than they contributed in taxes." https://news.sky.com/story/record-number-of-britons-receiving-benefits-that-amount-to-more-than-they-pay-in-tax-study-finds-12793349 I think this is part of the reason they assume every immigrant who obtains citizenship will go on to do the same No 2 - There is no country on earth that punishes people who are willing to work with taxes and gives to the lazy that ends up working longterm as something has to give. I am not saying taxes aren't good but there should be a limit. |

deept:Many of her critics (well, the non Naija ones lol) are admitting that she is performing a lot better these days. Apparently she has a new team prepping her for PMQs etc. Her approval/favourabiility rating is much higher than Starmer's, and even Farage a few weeks ago. I still don't believe that she'll make PM however.

Goke7:It's quite weird and funny. You know you need people You collect more from those people and bring them in You call them essentials workers during the pandemic and even laude them You come back and cry that they are low level bottom feeders Not even up to a year, you are already sounding alarms This does not make plans for those who will leave the sector, go on to other countries, redundancies, death etc. Just assumptions that lots will remain for 10 - 15 yrs That does not seem like a coherent strategy to me |

HustlaOfLagos:They can't have coherent strategy when most of their policies are reactionary, following media frenzy. This Labour govt will go down as one of the most disorganised leadership in the UK history. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 10:52pm On Dec 20, 2025 |
LionInZion:The guy leading them is not a Labour politician he’s a far right disguised as a Labour politician especially when you consider he entered politics very late.( yes he deceived so many) His job is simple make the entry of the reform party so easy cos how do you explain the reform party suddenly becoming the largest party in the uk. Dude is just implementing policies as if reform is the ruling party 😂 abi e no shock you ni |

HustlaOfLagos:There was never a plan, we often blame naija politicians back home of only thinking about elections and not governance, are we sure is not the same here? cos right from Brexit and through all these immigration ish it’s actually more of clinging to power by all means |

They better start investing in research on AI and that may be their solution longer time as dem no want immigrant and their country can’t function without one. At least they can make the AI bots white skinned 😂 Goke7: |

Goke7:It actually does seem so Politics should not be reactionary and policies should be implemented for the greater good. It"s hard for even them to plan with all the many things they have to change and adjust time and again. I am waiting to see if they will also make exceptions for folks in healthcare too Lessons ahead ![]() |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by HustlaOfLagos: 1:00am On Dec 21, 2025 |
Goke7:Brexit should have never happened and it seems they didnt learn their lessons. The UK needs to leave its colonial mentality and change with the times like UAE, Qatar and Saudi are now doing. Maybe it is time for a new generation of politicians with new ideas to come to the fore. Time will tell ![]() |

Goke7:Hehe... careful before you are accused of insulting Brits. Imagine if Britain goes to war with Russia today... be rest assured there'd be a fast track pathway for 'brothers' from the commonwealth to join the British Army. Nobody would claim Army jobs are being stolen |

HustlaOfLagos:Interesting. Would be keen to know how this has changed between then and now. Reminds me when the government decided to heap the blame on GPs and folks fell for it blaming GPs for the out-of-work culture. Ultimately that didn't change economic facts and the labour government knew there had to be some policy change. Look what happened when MPs tried to update the framework. It was definitely easier offshoring fault to someone else. I gather there are now over 1 million young people out of work yet you keep hearing phrases like 'support' e.t.c. What support does a youngie who spends the day playing games in his mums council house apparment need to go work in Care? We should look at other systems in the west and do thesame not sugarcoating facts. Like I told someone recently as we spoke about 'support'. Non-working young men should be given a new Mercedes S-Class, a regular supply of weed and perhaps Asian ladies to suit their desire. Most of them would be satisfied with this- they are Brits afterall. When the money finish all man eye go clear. |

If this isn’t racism, I wonder what else is?

Goke7:He may not necessarily a far right, more like someone who doesn't have the mind of his own and can easily be swayed by bandwagon. People like that are bad market for political leadership because they will lead the country astray as they themselves no kukuma get direction |

NewT123:😂 the Nigerian flag is the problem when he should be waving the patriots flag. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by HustlaOfLagos: 11:01am On Dec 21, 2025 |
jedisco:A lot of stats can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/dwp-benefits-statistics-august-2025/benefit-combinations-official-statistics-to-february-2025 I'd like to be non-working oooo for all the listed benefits and I'll vote for any gov that tries to implement this, especially the Asian ladies part ![]() |

jedisco:After getting your legs blown off and you try to claim citizenship, they will remind you that being in the military isnt an excuse and that you have to wait for 20 more years.... and that you are a Nigerian... and they are doing you a favor ![]() |

NewT123:Its white supremacy and entitlement in full display Its the need to feel "in charge" I'll tell you how If he waved the British flag, they will say he is NOT british and he should "go home" .He waved the Nigerian flag, and below is their response. If Fury does Irish flag, no one will complain To add pain to their injury, Joshua whopped their racist MAGA boy, thats double pain lol. Its just a yt (racist) man's problem The need to be in charge and on top of others It cascades even to the larger society Black folks (some) like being around white folks living among them and all, they will be saying they dont want you around them and be sneering and be doing white flight Okay na, some Pakistanis say f.... it, they live in their own enclaves and having their things in their own way, these same fkers will say they are "not integrating" You cant win with these guys |

RodgersAkpafu:This just goes to show that you can never be classed as an English man or woman in their eyes even if you are a10th Gen migrant as long as you have coloured skin. It’s good for parents to let their kids know about their ancestry and culture. I live in a white dominated environment and my kids often ask “daddy why does everyone have white face and we have brown face. I let them know they are from Nigeria and Africa and that’s how we look. It gives them some kind of identity. Even Nigel Farage’s speak German to the kids. |

Probably best to be completely sure before posting on this thread. People come here for information. The government updated the guidance to make it much harder for landlords to blame tenants. The guidance makes it clear that ordinary use, including drying laundry, is not a cause of damp. (And I know this is correct because despite all my laundry being air dried indoors in winter, there is no damp in my house). https://www.gov.uk/government/publications /damp-and-mould-understanding-and -addressing-the-health-risks-for-rented-housing -providers/understanding-and-addressing-the -health-risks-of-damp-and-mould-in-the-home --2#legal-standards-on-damp-and-mould-in -rented-homes Viruses: |

NewT123:Who cares what they see you as in "their eyes" though lol My descendants will be british kids of african (and South Asian) descent, but that doesnt make them inferior to any group of ppl. Your approach is very okay, but it can be a double edged sword though |
