@icemaη I'm sure you've seen the governments anti immigration white paper today.

I don't know if I would stay if they extend the time to get indefinite leave to remain to 10 years retrospectively. I'm 1.5 years away from it and they would effectively rip it away from me. I'm not paying another £10k to the government in visa fees and IHS.

Glad to see the government is learning all the wrong lessons from Reform wiping the local elections. I’m only 2 years in, not sure if I want to wait another 8 years before I can truly settle down. It’s fucked up.

@icemaη well, that Yvette Cooper bitch already confirmed they want to make the changes retrospective.

@JuveJay What’s your opinion on the government’s plan to change the ILR qualification period for Skilled Worker visa holders in the UK from 5 to 10 years?
I don't know enough about it tbh.

My only view is that we shouldn't be turning away real skilled people who benefit the economy, especially those with 'credit' in the bank.

I understand the concerns about influx of people from abroad. I don't recognise the city centre of my home city anymore, it's changed for the far worse, there are people just walking about all day on their phones or in small groups just hanging out as they have nothing to do. But I think it's a separate issue, I don't see the benefit of targeting skilled working people.

I agree with getting people out of the country, or any country for that matter, who can't speak the language, especially after living there for years. It's pure ignorance.
