My self worth was so tied to my job that I got a tattoo of the company I worked for.
The only positive thing about it: I was able to expense it.
I had always thought working 7 days a week was normal; it was necessary if you wanted to progress. And the career was the only thing worth focusing on. Not happiness, not freedom, not personal life.
The first thing I did in the morning and the last thing I did at night was check Slack. Until I physically couldn't anymore.
For maybe 20% more salary than I could have made elsewhere. And that 20% was somehow more important than my life.
What changed? I wish there was a better story, like Gandhi appearing in my dream telling me to stop. There isn't. It was gradual.
For the first time, I was working with people who worked even more than I did, whose self worth was even more connected to their work than mine.
And for the first time, I could see how it looked from the outside. It wasn't bad. It was just sad. A life I genuinely wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Then therapy. Then more therapy. Because even then, quitting felt impossible.
Until it didn't.
I started to see what was important in my life, and what wasn't. And if becoming a C-level meant that this life would be my life, I didn't want the promotion. I didn't care about titles anymore.
At that point, the only thing keeping me there was money. Then I did the math. The 20% premium wasn't buying me a better life. It was costing me a better life.
With this realization, quitting no longer felt impossible. Freedom, it turns out, was one resignation away
Restore Britain’s immigration policy - the lies and smears have already begun, so here’s the truth.
Illegal migrants. Gone. All of them. Without apology. Every man, every woman. They will all be deported. We have released the most comprehensive deportation policy every produced in Britain. 100 pages of detailed steps to remove every single illegal migrant living in our country.
It is deportation poetry.
This is step one - these miscreants are the priority. The sex pests will be removed, the hotels will close, the flights will begin. I promise you that.
Don’t need to go over it, the British people know my position.
Legal immigration - for the foreseeable future, far more people will leave than enter.
Entire visa routes will be closed off from certain countries that are proven to supply us with sex pests, criminals, illegals, Islamists and the rest.
This is vital. It underpins the entire policy.
Who would be on that red list?
Albania, Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and plenty more.
We will discriminate. We will look at the facts, and then discriminate. Good.
We must understand that legal immigration has done far more damage to Britain than illegal immigration.
So large parts of that must, and will, be reversed.
If a foreign national is entirely unable to speak English, then they will be asked to leave. How can somebody possibly contribute if they cannot communicate? They can’t. They should go home. Thanks, but no thanks.
A foreigner claiming benefits and living in social housing. Again, they will be asked to leave. It is simply not our responsibility to care for these people. I wish them a healthy and happy life, in their own countries.
Watch how that helps to solve our housing crisis overnight…
British social housing for British families.
Foreign criminals gone, day one. No need to even discuss that.
We will not tolerate extremists who wish to do us harm. Foreign Islamists will be deported. Dual national extremists will have their citizenships stripped, and then deported.
If an individual surrenders his second citizenship in an attempt to fraudulently remain in Britain, we will take the necessary steps to reverse that process and deport them. There is a recurring theme here, I am sure you have gathered.
ILR will be abolished in its entirety - the Boriswave will be reversed.
If a country refuses to accept their deported citizens, we will threaten them. Foreign aid, visas, remittances and more. Push to work with the Americans and others. A ‘deportation NATO’. Do it once hard enough, and it won’t have to be done again.
A third-party scheme, like Rwanda, is key. It means that if we cannot ascertain where a foreign national is from for whatever reason, they go to Rwanda. I hear it’s lovely at this time of the year.
We will take a small number of ultra high-skilled migrants - on one condition. It benefits the British people.
Rules and fees around spouse visas will be eased for individuals from non-red list countries. Fraud will be brutally crushed, but hardworking British men and women have every right to bring their foreign spouse to Britain and raise a family. That will be celebrated and encouraged.
Their arrival, and subsequent contribution to Britain, will be a net positive.
In combination with the vast numbers of unproductive migrants being ejected, there will be one winner.
The British people.
How many deportations will all of this result in?
Millions.
If you don’t like that, then Restore Britain is not the party for you.
If you agree, then I hope you will consider joining us.
@gabemulley@ayushporwalhq@lydiahallie one more update: if I change it to 4.6, it stops working (even if I revert back to 4.5) so I need to uninstall the chrome extension and reinstall it back each time...
@gabemulley@ayushporwalhq@lydiahallie Thanks for getting back to me! I did try all of this + uninstalled the extension and the desktop app itself but nothing changed really
@gabemulley@ayushporwalhq@lydiahallie has something happened again? cowork keeps saying i need to install the chrome extension - the same extension that it's been using for weeks!
