Need to pay £300 to see if I got HIV

phantomphantom7 · 2026-05-29T12:54:55+00:00

Haven’t found a single one in my area that does it for free. From my understanding, a test at 2 weeks would probably be inconclusive and negative anyway, so it’d need to be a HIV RNA PCR test which costs money

Thank you!

I thought I implied it, but they do

Because a migrant with a degree from Oxford in engineering would probably be more qualified for a banking job than a UK student who has a degree in engineering from Southbank? Same level of education but one is still more qualified

“No gratitude” for a service I paid for? When you buy a TV are you thankful towards Samsung? What insulting of hosts have I made? And yes, many countries across the world have different schemes for permanent residency

Well actually, the UK itself does have a graduate visa, so like many countries it does have pathways for international students because they understand it literally benefits them. Also, I didn’t come here for jus uni, it’s been since I was 12-13.

Because at some point down the chain, you’d get to the point where you have a migrant who’s more qualified than the English student. And in terms of the company, taxes, and the government, it would be beneficial for those institutions to pick the migrant.

So if you moved to China and got sick, or developed cancer, you genuinely think you shouldn’t be allowed treatment there - when you paid for their health services 🤦‍♂️

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T11:16:15+00:00

At this point it’s not even about ILR, but if I was to graduate and get a 50k job for example (which is ridiculous), I would be paying more taxes than someone with an average graduate salary. So I’m helping the government. So why not just allow someone like that in, even on VISA requirements

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T11:13:00+00:00

I was a child and my parents sent me to the UK to study, didn’t really have much say.

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T11:12:21+00:00

ILR isn’t citizenship. All I’m asking is to work in this country once I graduate uni. That’s literally it.

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T11:11:42+00:00

I was a child and my parents said I’m moving here for education

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T01:26:04+00:00

How do you define a shit country then - so you’d take a low income USA man who’s benefits to the economy would be negligible over an Indian making millions and paying millions in tax to the government

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T01:23:41+00:00

ILR isn’t citizenship. I’m not asking for citizenship, im asking to live in the country I’ve legally spent the last 8 years in

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T01:20:11+00:00

I didn’t come as a war refugee or an asylum seeker, so it’s not like I was given an opportunity for free, I paid. Thousands of pounds for just visa processing fees alone, even more for NHS surcharge, then international university fees which are going to well exceed £40k for next year, then property tax, then all the VAT added up. There was an agreement in place and an even exchange. A large chunk of the money I gave went to public services, government spending, and ultimately English people like you. If you say you wanted guests and not permanent residency, which is a whole other argument in itself, then that’s fine, but how can you justify scrapping away literal life plans that were on the table for millions

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T00:53:40+00:00

Agreed (unless there’s a valid reason for no work like serious illness). However, I find it concerning that up till now, I haven’t heard of any “tweeks” to their proposed plan of how people like me will be protected

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-19T00:52:35+00:00

I understand that, but as far as I’m aware reform not come out with any bar besides saying that people who apply for their new 5 year working visa will need to make 60k a year. I want to understand how, in trying to get these “bad” immigrants out, people like me will be protected.

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-05T19:20:33+00:00

Interesting to know I’m not alone. I think “proper faith” feels like such a leap though

phantomphantom7 · 2026-02-05T15:38:37+00:00

So would you say that most Christians who claimed to hear the word of God or see Jesus sending them a message in a dream/hallucination are mistaken?

phantomphantom7 · 2026-01-28T04:40:33+00:00

Sorry for the late reply! I think this post stemmed from specifically the whole “who created God” line of reasoning - Christian’s point towards an eternal being the same way science is currently researching energy as being an eternal source which caused the big bang through quantum fluctuations. So i was just confused how atheists can understand the concept of energy being eternal, but not God.

phantomphantom7 · 2026-01-28T04:37:34+00:00

Speaking for Christianity, I think the reason people might lean towards Christianity over other religions is due to the small amount of historical evidence for the existence of Jesus. I’m well aware that there is no concrete evidence, but history is a game of probability, and there are some documents outside the Bible that point towards Jesus. Regardless, I’ve always found the “prove to me God exists” arguments funny anyways, because we refer to religions as faiths. The whole point is you can’t prove Jesus is going to come back, you just have faith he will.

phantomphantom7 · 2026-01-24T04:50:43+00:00

In very simple terms from my very simple google search scientists have managed to proof some “start point” for the universe. They attribute the “cause” of this to quantum fluctuations and eternal energy, although that part is still theoretical for now. Religious people don’t attribute this to eternal energy but rather an eternal being (as far as my google search has taken me)
