Expecting BNOers are returning to HK job market, earning higher income and lower taxes in HK, but leaving their kids behind in U.K. to continue education.

Better pulse check what’s in these people’s minds after grabbing ILR and Citizenship, and securing all those benefit and welfare entitlements

This interviewee has already fleed, back to HK right after ILR.
They have never treated U.K. as home, they only want its ILR, and be entitled to its benefits and welfare

One of the anchors: after ILR and citizenship, BNOers may go back to HK to work and pay tax to HK IRD, not to HMRC.
But their kids will continue study in U.K. using local fees.
They will return to U.K., when they are sick, for free NHS.
Thank You UK !

They are fleeing, not paying tax anymore, but their entitlements will remain
@ukhomeoffice Should also assess the productivity of those workers (also returnees) vs the welfare and benefits they and their families cost to society
Everything costs
Resources are sacare
Welfare system, of locals and of immigrants, should be P&L-based
The number of visas issued to foreign workers has halved since its peak in 2023.
Over 100 occupations have been prevented from accessing overseas labour.
We are protecting British workers from being undercut while welcoming the high-skilled talent that our economy needs.
@MikeTappTweets Do you know that some HongKongers are already planning to go back to Hong Kong after ILR or/and Citizenship?
Same as what has been happening in Canada
You’d better check their pulse
@Keir_Starmer Track the economic contributions from immigrants ! Take reference from Japan Economic security minister Kimi Onoda - a permanent residency is NOT a right but a permit only.
@Keir_Starmer A responsible government should not just count on their documents and time spent in country when granting PR visa nor citizenship, but must also their economic contributions their values to the country !
An identity is NOT a free lunch, pay for it !

1/ I don’t often speak in my professional capacity as a Hong Kong–born, UK-chartered construction professional (MRICS, MAPM, NECReg, among others). But I need to address inaccurate reporting about bamboo scaffolding in the Hong Kong Tai Po fire.
