Zahra29: Have you never lived in Nigeria then? Not that it matters. You are still a Nigerian and can take up causes in Nigeria. I don't think the Foreign husbands of Nigerian women will turn their noses up at a campaign in their favour now, do you? |

Peerielass: Not at all. In a Parliamentary system of government (never mind the ludicrous First-past-the-post) system, your vote was not wasted, at all. Especially if the Conservative Parliamentary candidate you voted for, wins. That is the most important. Unless you live in Holborn & St Pancras on London, or Richmond (Yorkshire) or Clacton, you are not voting for Keir Starmer or Rishi Sunak or Nigel Farage respectively. 1 Like |

Is anyone else sort of hiding their face in both hands and peering in between their fingers at the goings on in France and US? What if Marine Le Pen wins? I understand why macron called the elections but if brexit taught me anything,it's never call people's bluff. You ll always lose to the populists especially if they are racist and anti-immigration. France and Germany are the pillars of the EU.what will become of the EU? What in the world were those 6 US supreme court judges thinking? Presidents are not kings and should not have immunity. They just validated an argument agent orange pulled out of his fundament. Can Biden fight this election? The only consolation is the centrist government we hope to vote in on Thursday . Andrew Marr thinks that with the rest of Europe voting in freaking fascists, we will see an influx of business and cash as the only sane country in the mad mix. That's my glimmer of hope.

Zahra29: It is ridiculous to suggest that you need to have lived in a country inorder to care about its issues and seek to improve it. I can think of dozens of campaigners who are doing exactly this. Your time may be better spent doing this,I suggest, than making this rather frivolous point. 1 Like |

Please how much is the Nigerian police certificate? And if I do it online, how long does it take. |

missjekyll: Someone is defensive this morning. I hope you don't take this same energy out knocking doors 😂 Tbh I seem to care more about its issues than you do. It started off as a curious question but you turned it into a battle point. Sorry to have caused offence, I'll let you get on with your selective "resistance fighting". 5 Likes |

justwise: Unless he's able to convince the public that he is not as frail as his debate performance suggested....it's not looking good. His biggest opponent at this point is not Trump, but the sofa. I.e. many of his supporters would rather not vote at all. Best to prepare yourself. |

I am in Clacton at the moment, and I am really concerned about the way Reform is conducting their campaign. They are the loudest, but they only seem to talk about immigration. To them, immigration is the sole reason for all the issues in the UK. 🙄🙄 2 Likes

Zahra29: I know but in 2020 he was not seen while Trump was holding rallies even with COVID killing thousands, Trump used all government resources but still lost. |

Zahra29:God forbid I vote for reform. Lol. I’m sticking to Rishi and his Sunak. But yes, getting an outside IR35 gig has been hard, my recruiter told me that they go as fast as they come so it’s first come, first serve. I only get calls for inside IR35 jobs, and I’m not going to risk losing my stable income for a contract role. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 1:15pm On Jul 03 |
kwakudtraveller: Lol....but Rishi won't stick to you oh (or anyone in the UK). That man will be on one of the first jets to California after he loses the election. Perhaps even a same day flight if he loses his seat as some polls suggest 😂 Yes I agree, contracting is not for the faint hearted esp in the current climate. But if the role is long dated/open to extend and has a very decent day rate, it can be well worth the risk especially if the other half has a perm, stable job. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 1:21pm On Jul 03 |
justwise: Hmm, 2020 Biden came across strong and passionate about restoring America. Trump lost a lot of popularity due to how he handled COVID and was blamed for the disproportionately high number of deaths in the US. He dismissed COVID as just a cold and then quickly hopped on Air Force One to the best hospital and medics when he caught it🙄 Sadly 2024 Biden currently doesn't inspire confidence that he won't hand over power (to phrase it sensitively) to Harris in the 1st year and most Americans don't want President Harris. |

If the polls are to be believed then the young people in the UK appear to be following a similar trend as their European counterparts who are increasingly turning to the right.

Zahra29: Sorry I meant to say 2020, Polls got it completely wrong in 2016 as Hilary was leading in every possible poll but ended up losing . Biden has never been Obama interns of charisma but still gets the job done |

Zahra29: Anyone on the doorsteps who dares to suggest that I m better suited campaigning for issues in Nigeria than here in the UK will immediately get both barrels. I ll take up any cause I see fit,in any corner of the earth I like. I need not have campaigned for anything previously either. It's the Resistance. Everyone's welcome 4 Likes |
