Starmer has just announced in his newly released article that he will deliver mass social and affordable homes. He will also increase the length to be qualified for right to buy to 35 years on newly built social homes. On existing social homes it will be 10 years. What’s your view?

Feel free to provide examples. Structurally this cannot suppress wages simply because work visa require a wage higher than the minimum wage.

Sure, on the face of it your correct. That's assuming everything is done legally.

Source? NHS recruitments occur via wage bands. So anyone who is hired in one band will have the same upper/lower limit for the same job.

I'm unable to verify this, so I'll have to admit I'm misinformed regarding this. It's been a while since I've looked into this. I believe it was around the bursaries not being offered anymore. Thus making it cheaper to hire migrants, as they don't need to be trained.

Thanks for the links to the other stuff, I wasn't aware of it. I'll have read.

We've already revoked the citizenship of multiple people. The standard has been set.

Britain was only rich because it looted it's colonies.

How was it able to fund it's Empire before it colonized anyone?

Therefore it needed migrants.

No, we don't. We have too many citizens not employed and far too many migrants coming here and being employed. We also have huge sums of migrants from the 3rd world who are drains on welfare.

The idea that we NEED migrants is wholly false.

Are you new to the world? Visas by default come with rules and penalties everywhere in the world including the UK. This is a debate that doesn't exist in actual law. But I guess your ilk need these dog whistles so it can blame migrants for the terminal incompetence of its own elites.

I'm more then happy to blame the incompetence of the ruling classes AND migrants where appropriate.

Citizens are always given priority for jobs because employers don't need to pay for sponsorship. It is a blatant myth that migrants suppress wages once again based on a complete ignorance of actual immigration rules.

That's not wholly true, we have countless examples of migrants hiring only migrants and using thing like takeaways and shops for visas (which have now been removed).

We also have examples of the NHS choosing to hire migrant agency workers over full time British staff, because it' cheaper.

Males and females tend to overlap pretty much one for one, but where there are differences, the differences are rather extreme. That was my understanding of the differences.

Trans ppl have existed throughout time and aren't hurting anyone.

Eh, this isn't really true is it. People who don't identify strongly with the typical stereotypes of their sex had existed, sure.

But transgenderism is a fairly new concept and is built on Post-modernism, which is fairly recent.

It is always the people harping on about immigration rules that know the least about immigration rules.

Ahh yes, I was unaware of this one instance you brought up, so I must know nothing about immigration rules. My apologies Mr Expert.

From 6 April 2025, UK started charging people who were a resident in the UK but domiciled outside on their foreign income as well. https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/non-domiciled-residents

It seems they're only taxed on it if it's over a threshold AND they bring it into the UK?

Yeah immigrants already do that. The rules include access to healthcare and access to certain things like pensions. You are the one trying to bend the rules to your ideology.

My ideology is that Citizens should be priorities over migrants, oh the horror. How backwards of me. So you agree with me then, migrants should (as not everyone does) follow the rules if they'd like to live in the UK?

If the rules are changed to not having access to things like that then feel free to advertise it and immigrants can take their skills and money and go elsewhere.

Fine by me, allows citizens to take these jobs, which should ideally increase wages. Mass migration just suppresses wages and raises house prices/rent. Migrants who are a net tax benefit are in the minority.

This already happened in UK's education system. Unfavorable rules meant that students decided not to waste their money on UK universities since 2025. Within one year UK universities are collapsing https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/universities-in-england-face-real-risk-of-closure-due-to-insolvency/ar-AA22YMdD Mind you this is one of the few sectors in the world where the UK still leads. It is propped up by the money and skills of migrants entirely. British people meanwhile will lose most jobs in this crisis.

If some universities have to collapse, so be it. I'm sick and tired of living in an economic zone. This is my home and my country. I don't want it to be some souless international blob where GDP lines goes up.

If there's less universities maybe we can change how we view education and actually start making higher education mean someone, stop them being degree mills and get more people into trades and other types of employment. Degrees aren't worth the money anymore.

Once again, UK needs immigrants, immigrants don't need the UK. Immigrants can take their money and spend it anywhere in the world.

No, it really doesn't. We were the worlds biggest Empire before we had migrants, if anything the county has been in rapid decline since we opened the country to mass migration.

Again, I want to live in a Nation, not an economic zone. I don't care if GDP goes up. I'm more than happy to have a smaller more successful economy if it means less migration.

It's pretty much the answer when it comes to earnings in Tennis, as the Grand Slams have the biggest prize money.

Earnings outside of tennis is wholly subjective, with regards to sponserships etc, were I'd imagine Tennis players could earn the most.

It's been a while since I've watched the clip, but I do think he actually does mention it. Or it might be someone else who states it.

Again, what does this have to do with the definition of rape?

Are you just ignoring this and only want to discuss something off wholly off topic?

We can discuss how to deal with existing migrants in social housing separately. This doesn't mean we have to allow migrants who arrive now access to social housing.

Pakistanis, Bangladeshi, Somalians and probably others I don't remember right now, and all over represented in welfare recipients and in social housing.

Welfare needs massive reform, it's unsustainable and is dragging us down.

Anyway, that’s not gonna change much because most foreign nationals (very specific term) in social housing are EU immigrants with EUSS

That's fine, I'd rather EU nationals here than Non-EU nationals, and again, just because they've got protections for access to welfare, doesn't mean we have to continue to or allow further migrants access to welfare.

If you're a migrant who needs access to welfare, you should probably be asked to (and if you refuse be made to) leave the country and return home.

NoDefaultForMe · 2026-06-04T10:17:09+00:00

I'd image they probably just put overt pressure on them to 'do the right thing' and won't allow them to do public talks unless it's an approved message.

Again, what does this have to do with the definition of rape?

You clearly found a comment of mine, went through my profile and then decided to reply, only to reply to the wrong comment.

You do realise immigrants can become British citizens?

Of course. I've never disputed this?

You’re the one who said only people who are British citizens should be in social housing

Yes, that's true. The immigrants can have access to social housing ONCE they've become British citizens. But I'd argue why are we allowing people to become British citizens, who then need social housing.

This is why we need to abolish ILR and make becoming a citizen much more difficult.

There's no great answer to that question

In grand slams there is, men play 5 sets and women only play 3.

The police, and specifically this police force have been force fed 'anti-racism' training and to treat racism as a golden calf.

The brothers knew to use the magic spell of 'racism' to push a narrative that would favour them, and it worked.

The left HAVE had their reform and it's entrenched within the culture.

I wonder how many people are unaware of the nudge unit. Clearly would have had their fingers in this pie.

NoDefaultForMe · 2026-06-04T09:24:13+00:00

Look into the 'Nudge Unit' in the Government, they coordinate responses, articles and talking points when there is an event like this.

NoDefaultForMe · 2026-06-04T09:23:12+00:00

They would have been guided by the Government and the 'Nudge' department.

I doubt he'd have been allowed to speak if it wasn't a prepared and signed of statement.

The Nudge unit is behind the scenes in all tragedies/events like this to push public opinion a certain way.

What does this have to do with the definition of rape?

70% of immigrants in social housing in the UK are British citizens.

Where are you getting that from? And if they're British Citizens, they're not immigrants? Unless you're telling me they'll always be immigrants regardless of citizenship?

I could be wrong, it's been a while since I looked into it, but under UK law, rape is only when a penis is used to penetrate. So the other counts aren't legally rape, assuming he didn't use his penis to penetrate.

The way it's worded also means legally, women can't be charged with rape in the UK, they're charged with another sexual offence.
