Migration gone mad..

[Polarbear]

Immigration saw the country's overall population increase by 606,000 in 2022, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Wow. The coutry is broke. The NHS cant cope. Schools havent got enough places, there aren't enough houses but we accept half a million + for the year (600,000)actually who will suck off the countrys teat.

If 1% of those is a net positive to the country I would be absolutly stunned,

I may have got this wrong, but i'm sure i read that of those 606,000, around 76,000 were illegal immigrants (around 12% of the total)

There were also a lot of resettlements, with 114,000 Ukrainians & 52,000 given special visas from Hong Kong

Then, almost 40% of the total 925,000 arrivees were students (370,000)

So that pretty much accounts for eveyone

But as you can see, the majority of migrants appear to be students, who will be paying pretty hansome sums to get their higher education degrees

Feel the fear..

‘15% of foreign students bring a dependent (that’s spouses & children only)
They pay more to study thus aiding with keeping universities running plus they help to subsidise training in general.
The changes implemented by the government will only apply to 10% of that 15%’.

So says the chancellor of a university.


Distracting from the reality of country poorly managed.
Clap your NHS goodbye as MPs receive money from private healthcare companies.
The sale of publicly owned utilities promised the needed investment… how’s that working out?


Get annoyed with nurses doctors rail workers teachers postal workers bus drivers and feel okay about the backhanding and failing upwards of ministers, but most of all point the blame at others.

Setting aside the infrastructure problems isn't this a bit... vampiric? At least Hitler had the decency to invade countries and steal all their shit at gunpoint versus inviting them over with crocodile smiles...

...then stealing all their shit! (Russian oligarchs, you know what I'm talking about, amirite?!)

lol at all who voted for their favourite right wing party to put a stop to all this

[that_impulse_guy]

the usual stunt in london is send chinese son/daughter/xe to London to study, £30k/yr.

Buy a flat for them to live in, who cares how much it costs..1mil?

3 years later, fees are 100k+ change, sell flat, pay it all from HPI and profit.

plates stop spinning when the cult of high house prices stops.
in fact, a lot breaks when this stops.

also, this is why your kids cant afford a house and live in their childhood room till 35.

of course, no need to do that "internet thing" and say "it isnt only chinese..." because we know that, of course it isnt. this is an example of how the system works.
or doesnt, in this case

Presumably to get the visa they have to have a uni place and in order to have the place they have to pay the uni for the tuition.

Seems an excessively complicated and expensive process just to cook curries.

600k net migrants and are we feeling any richer?

Has the government spending reduced because of all these imported tax payers?



Has it bollocks, if you're a living, breathing person, you're part of the system, no matter where you come from, and it's a system that cannot sustain the numbers in this country.

Government and big business loved the cheap labour and their lapdogs defended it by playing the race card, now they've had their money and they want more while we're all left poorer.

Universities raking it in whilst people are paying massive amounts of interest on their student loans, who exactly is this country to the benefit of?

If the universities could full every limited place with a foreign student they would do it because it makes sense when considered in business terms, but I thought they’d have an obligation to educate British students by first intent.
