Mwananchi ajitolee, aamke 5am, akae kwa jam mpaka afike job 7:30am. Then apige 8-5 yake. Alipe 30% tax. Alafu bado aswim akienda home while fighting for his life.
Aren't we angry enough Kenyans?
I once heard my boss man say to another employee “You know John, you’re not the sharpest pencil in the box” and without skipping a beat the guy replied “Welp boss man, a sharp pencil is a sign it ain’t never done a lick of work”. I think about that to this day.
I'm sorry but it's hard to see people lie about how legal immigration to the United Kingdom works, and say nothing about it.
I am a legal immigrant to the UK. In 2023, I had to spent roughly £5,000 for a 2.5 years visa, NHS surcharge, biometric appointment and language tests.
I will have to spend £4,000 this year, to extend my visa by another 2.5 years, after which, I'll need to pay again for indefinite leave-to-remain.
On top of that, as a legal immigrant, I am understandably required to pay taxes, national insurance and can NOT claim benefits.
This on-going myth that legal immigrants are free-loading on UK taxpayers is complete bullshit. If anything, I'm subsidising them.
My legal immigrant ass is a net benefit to your country.
