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 ยฃ5,000 for a 2.5 years visa, NHS surcharge, biometric appointment and language tests.
I will have to spend ยฃ4,000 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.

When Muslims DON'T engage in democracy: Muslims are backward, savages without civilization, extremists who reject the modern way of life.
When Muslims DO engage in democracy: More Muslims will engage in due process and governance, they'll encourage more Muslims to run for office!
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
In Britain, we believe in freedom of religion, and freedom of worship. The Carnegie Library in Abergavenny is grade ii listed and has been empty for a decade. Muslims are currently meeting in the parish hall of the local Roman Catholic church, and would like their own place. The council has democratically agreed a 30-year lease, with building repairs to be carried out by the local Muslim community. If you don't want your library turned into a mosque, go there and read. If you don't want your church turned into a mosque, go there and worship. But to do neither, and then complain about a perfectly reasonable, democratic and provisional change of use for a listed building which satisfies a community need, bringing life where there is currently a void, is rather small-minded.
