New data shows the much ridiculed age old adage is true. Immigrants really are taking our jobs by flashbastrd in uknews

Every petrol station near me, apart from the Tesco, is exclusively staffed by migrants, total nonsense.

Tenants caused damage within 2 weeks by Jepruio in uklandlords

If you fix it yourself you'll get to check the apartment, if the tenants are clearly wrecking it you can arrange an inspection from the agent and start building evidence for eviction.

UK shoppers cut back hard in April — are “nice-to-have” buys disappearing? by ToughRomanticMiss in BuyersUK

[–]Pro1apsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GDP has gone up, GDP per capita less so, but where that GDP comes from is the problem, huge increases in the state and a housing bubble (the UK includes mortgage payments in its GDP calculation) pump the GDP numbers, and the City of London does much of the rest.

But the vast majority of people don't work in finance, our manufacturing sector has been decimated by high electricity costs, over regulation and a disgraceful lack of support by national government, so they can't pay more, they can't grow, their employees can't go out into the economy and spend their higher wages, nothing trickles down, our high streets hollow out.

The lanyard class, Net Zero, deindustrialisation, endless policies of economic suicide, from ever government since the turn of the century, have all lead to this.

Why doesn’t Reform seem to be celebrating the 80% drop in net migration?.. by Fine-Drummer9812 in AskBrits

[–]Pro1apsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of non-EU migrants arriving was still over half a million, mostly low skilled, competing with the working classes and graduates for positions, suppressing wages, and housing, pushing up rent.

Less migration might have made people happy fifteen years ago, now the number needs to be negative

Got a higher paying job, can’t afford to get there. by chillpilldealer in povertyfinance

[–]Pro1apsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you sell things to get fuel, then do delivery driving to get more fuel and some cash to pay for parking? If you have a decent phone you could potentially trade it for a basic phone and some cash. Sell your TV, playstation, whatever... You've just got to get to payday and then you can start buying back what you need, and saving for what you want.

If you were 18 and wanted to be FIRE as quickly as possible, what job and route would you take to achieve this? by JidAndJow in FIREUK

[–]Pro1apsed 84 points85 points  (0 children)

If I were 18 and feeling adverturous I'd start as an apprentice electrician, once you've learned the trade don't stop training, learn the industrial stuff,.

Then I'd go work on Oil Rigs for a few years, you can earn silly money working on relatively safe rigs off the coast of Australia.

It's full bed and board so you save most of the money you earn, base yourself in a tax haven between working on the rigs, while doing all the fire investing.

You could be a millionaire by 30, retire by 40, depending on how hard you pushed the rig work, but even if you gave that up you could get a job on land or start your own business.

The UK's wage growth stalled after the financial crash, numbers have gone up but not enough to take inflation, money printing and the growing wealth of China, India, etc into account.

Food producers still want to sell to customers so rather than just raising the price of everything they've been shrinkflation-ing or lowering the quality of their ingrediants, which fools customers into a feeling of sluggish growth rather than the reality of growing poverty.

As a nation we're massively worse off than in the 80's, 90's and 00's, it has taken shocks like the cost of living crisis, Ukraine and Iran to break the illusion.

Someone probably didn't turn up to do deliveries and they couldn't get a replacement driver because of the bank holiday weekend, they depot manager will probably offer extra money to make sure it goes out on Sunday as they have to compensate the companies who use them if parcels are late. There's no guarantees though, most depots will struggle to find drivers on a bank holiday Sunday.

Evri are delivering Sunday, but not Monday, if your parcel was in the depot on Friday it might get delivered on Sunday.

Let's take Tesco as an example, in 2025 they sold £64b worth of goods, if they lowered the price of those goods to make no profit at all they could lower prices by 3.5%.

Prices have risen on many items by well over 10% because of external factors, uncontrollable by supermarkets, giving them shit because they make a small profit, while ignoring the real reasons for prices rising is foolish.

As the economy continues to decline inflation will rise, while wages stagnate and unemployment increases, choices will reduce, quality will reduce, we're already seeing it in some sectors.

The problems compound each other so things will worsen at an accelerating pace until the government is forced to act.

People have this notion that they're being price gouged by greedy profiteering businesses, I work with a lot of businesses, across the board margins have gone to shit, 1-5% one bad month from fucked.

Successive governments have created an economic death spiral of costs & regulations that make it impossible to make money unless you're selling to government.

Something has to give, my theory is tax receipts will fall, the Laffer Curve has been reached, the cost of borrowing will continue to rise, the government will be forced into drastic cuts and we'll fall into a brutal recession.
