when someone asks me to go out and i say yes without thinking about my crippling savings account because time is meant to be wasted with friends and money is meant to be spent and the world is meant to be experienced and life is meant to be lived
you don't like that Louis was called "the ex" because you think it diminishes his role. I don't like that Louis was called "the ex" because he and Lestat are husbands and got married at the altar under Jesus Christ. we are not the same
I say wallah. I say jesus christ after every inconvenience. I go to temples, church. Im hindu, spiritual, agnostic, atheist at times, I believe in astrology, I have full faith in etsy witches and im obsessed with popculture on twitter, all at once.
Shame on those who walked for Notre-Dame de Paris but are silent now. Uncivilised uncultured savages of Epstein class known as trump and netanyahu has bombed this centuries old masterpiece of art.
I’ll never forget when I was on the Hill in 2019 when the Notre Dame fire happened. Every member of Congress was talking about it and posting on their socials. Now UNESCO sites in Iran were BOMBED but because they’re not in the west, it’s not viewed as important.
This is a very misleading tweet, whoever tweeted this should have indicated the set of migrants being referred to.
This is why an average British person is ill-informed about so many things, because of pages like this.
1. A legal migrant has no recourse to public funds. S/he cannot access any form of aid, their children got no free hours in nursery, no benefit of any kind.
2. A legal migrant paid for IHS (health surcharge- to cover them if they have to use the NHS). (can be up to £5,200)
3. A legal migrant paid visa fees (can be up to £1,000)
Now, listen to this part:
3. If the legal migrant is a student, s/he pays between £13,000 and £20,000 as school fees CASH (you can multiply that by the thousands of students so you can know how much influx of money that is).
During their study year, they cannot work more than 20 hours per week, and the only thing they’re excluded from is council tax. It’s sensible because they barely work to pay their rent and other bills.
4. A legal migrant pays rent to their landlords, pay water bill, council tax, electric/gas bill, tax, etc. They’re not excluded from any single thing.
There’s literally nothing a legal migrant enjoys. They contribute same thing like every other citizen and don’t even get anything in return, no recourse to public funds.
Pages like that of the Home Office do not post such info, they don’t do any justice in informing people, that’s why when you engage an average Brit, they just think you’re the problem.
I mean, I’ve got dozens of British friends and when I tell them these things, they’re in shock. They’re not aware of so many things, they also just think EVERY MIGRANT IS THE PROBLEM.
Do I blame them? Not really, because they rely on the media, and the media feeds them with propaganda. For instance, tell me what it’ll take for this post to include “illegal migrants”.
They know what they’re doing. Keep the British populace uninformed.
