The UK 🇬🇧 government under the conservative Party and under Boris Johnson opened the door during COVID.
They needed workers.
The NHS needed staff.
Care homes were collapsing.
So they went abroad.
They told people:
“Come. Work. Contribute. Pay taxes.
In 5 years, you’ll get ILR.
In 6 years, you can become British.”
People believed them.
They left families.
Sold properties.
Started life from scratch.
Now?
Same system. Same people.
Suddenly, migrants are a “£10B burden.”
This is not policy.
This is goalpost shifting.
From a legal migrant perspective, this is the reality:
You followed the law.
You paid your dues.
You worked nights, weekends, holidays.
You filled gaps no one else would.
But when it’s time for the system to honour its end?
The rules start changing.
The tone becomes hostile.
The narrative becomes political.
You can’t invite people in, build your system on their labour,
then rewrite the contract midway.
That’s not governance.
That’s exploitation with better PR.
And the most dangerous part?
They’ll still ask:
“Why don’t migrants integrate?”
“Why don’t they commit?”
Because stability requires trust.
And trust is broken every time the rules shift after the game has started.
I warned about this last week. Stop taking money from your patients and don’t steal from them either. You will ruin yourself:
A care home worker who plundered almost £20,000 from the savings of vulnerable residents has been jailed for seven months.
Abiola Akinremi, 41, abused her position as an administrator at the facility, Bostall House in Abbey Wood, southeast London, to make dozens of unauthorised withdrawals from the bank accounts of patients.
