On both counts your figures are hugely exaggerated. What is an "illegal visa"?

My point stands. BTW, it hasn't been fed to me. It's my own opinion.

Not accurate. About 1 million are here on visas. A fraction of that amount arrive without visas.

Not really. They mainly work in Healthcare and Social Care. AI can't do those jobs. Uk nationals don't seem to want to. Hence, reliance on immigrants.

Yes I have been to India. My point is, why do India need aid when they can afford wars snd a space program? Nothing cold about asking that question, us there? https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/uk-still-gives-aid-to-india-dressed-up-as-business-investments-rather-than-direct-handouts-britain-watchdog/articleshow/98641083.cms And still happening.

I don't recall saying they did.

That is the true number. Just over actually. I think it's currently 108 000. https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/stay-informed/explainers/top-facts-from-the-latest-statistics-on-refugees-and-people-seeking-asylum/#:~:text=People seeking asylum make up,%2C Iran%2C Bangladesh and Syria.

Yes, in England. Your last sentence proves a point about you.

In that case, do you really think 100,000 asylum seekers make much of an impact on public services?

And yet, possibly the biggest public service, health and social care would not survive without immigration.

I've worked with teachers, nurses, doctors, police, to name a few. Some had tattoos, some didn't. All were educated people. Discrimination appears to be clouding your sight and judgment. Then again, 16 years has past since you last worked. Times have changed. It seems you need to keep up.

India has money for a space program and now, it seems, they have enough for a war. Yesterday, I saw an appeal on TV to send money to help with Indian kids' eyesight. There is a newly signed trade agreement between UK and India and UK also sends India millions a year in financial aid. It's time to stop this madness. Stop all aid to India and suspend the trade agreement until India stop the war and their space program and spend their money taking care of their populations health and wellbeing.

It does. The article speaks about asylum seekers. The comment I quoted doesn't.

Incorrect. The link you posted even proves it.

The requirements aren't imaginary then. Right? There is a difference between the requiremrnts for a Btitish national and a refugee. Right?

£65k in savings. The amount you said was imaginary. What is it? Imaginary or a requirement?

You clearly have no clue with regards to UKVI rules. The figure of £65k in savings is true, if BritManToo wishes to take his Thai wife to live in UK. She will also need to pass an English test and, to gain residency, she'll need to take the absurd Life in UK Test. None of which applies to refugees and their families.

More bull from you in an attempt to stir the pot. Tou surely could spend your spare time on something more constructive.

You cropped my comment for effect. Classic. 😅😅😅

As am I. I've spent many hours in hospital recently. Your ideas about Doctors and tattoos are wide of the mark. I also know many people with tattoos. Many university educated. Working good jobs. Nice houses. Successful in life. Fortunately for them, not all employers have the same discriminatory view that you have.

Really? How will the interview know I have tattoos? Will they ask me?

Really? You've asked them? Doctors and Lawyers dress to the ankles and wrists. Shirts up yo the neck. How do you know the vast majority don't have tattoos?

This one a close second.

That's just won the award of funniest post of the day. Well done.

Really? I was at hospital recently. You'd be very surprised. I find it hard to believe anyone would chose their accountant, lawyer or doctor based on tattoos. I would think basing them on competence, experience and knowledge would be the norm. Do you really think sailors and soldiers are lower class? It's a strange view.
