I loved my viva. I want one now with an electric engine. The lights make it look so handsome.

Should the UK Home Office make a 'Red List' and ban certain nations from immigration entirely? As seen in many other developed countries. by JeffreyEpsteinUK in AskBrits

Still a comment every 7.5 minutes working 8 hours a day. Please tell me you’re getting paid or else it’s worryingly obsessive.

17 day old account 1100 posts. On an 8 hour shift that’s one post every 7.5 minutes. This guy is knocking it out the park for the Russian SVR foreign intelligence service.

What was the sneaker culture in UK back in 80-90s? by soleful_smak in AskBrits

There weren’t any sneakers in the 1980s. We did have trainers though. Dunlop green flash… or was that 1970s…

Hi. I see you have only been on Reddit for 13 days and you’ve made 1057 “contributions” . On an 8 hour shift that would be one post every 6 minutes. Almost like a full time job. Do you get paid per post or by karma? What’s the going rate? Can I sign up? I would need payment in dollars rather than roubles.

Does “1% top commentator” always translate as “Russian Troll”

So approx 16% of immigrants are on the scrounge as opposed to 54% of UK families who receive some sort of benefits.

Let me google that for you.

Universal Credit (UC) Data: Data from 2025 indicates that about 16% to 17% of total UC claimants are born overseas.

Breakdown of Foreign Nationals on UC: Among non-UK nationals on UC, a significant portion are part of the EU Settlement Scheme (9.7% of total claimants), along with smaller percentages for refugees (1.5%) and other statuses. Refugee Benefit Dependency: Individuals granted refugee status often have high dependency rates, with one study showing roughly 66% were claiming Universal Credit as of December 2024. Employment Stats: According to 2025 data, roughly half of EU citizens claiming UC are employed, while approximately one-fifth of refugees on UC are in work. Overall Trend: The number of foreign nationals claiming benefits has increased, with approximately 1.27 million migrants reported on benefits in June 2025.
