I wanted to write about this. But congratulations to the Telegraph and Daily Mail and vloggers like The Blackbelt Barrister and Simon Webb for picking up on this story that our Government doesn’t seem keen to mention. As far as I’ve seen, the BBC hasn’t thought it worthwhile reporting on this story either. Here’s our Government’s unusually long press release about the supposedly ‘best deal India has ever agreed‘ new trade deal Britain has agreed with India:

Don’t bother reading it. The key point is that there’s one not insignificant issue the lengthy Government press release doesn’t mention at all – under the deal an apparently unlimited number of Indian workers will be able to come to work in the UK on 3-year visas and neither they nor their employers will have to pay National Insurance. This will immediately make them at least 20% cheaper to employ than equivalent British workers. This seems to be something Mr Starmer and Mr Reynolds and, of course, the BBC ‘forgot’ to mention when blethering on about ‘best deal India has ever agreed’ Although, at least it does seem to be ‘best deal India has ever agreed‘ – but for Indian, not for British workers.
Moreover, as I guess many of these Indians will be married, will they be allowed to bring in their families? And would that include wife/husband, a pack of brats, the workers’ parents, maybe a few aunts and uncles and 15 to 20 cousins and their families? Probably they’ll bring in a few family members each so that will mean more school places will be needed, it will be harder for taxpaying Brits to get NHS treatment, the cost of housing rentals will increase due to higher demand and there will be further pressure on many other public services. And, of course, with the latest clashes between India and Pakistan, the new arrivals might decide to bring their decades-long rivalry and violence to our streets enriching us even further.
Starmer repeatedly claims that “puting more money into workers’ pockets” is one of Labour’s main goals, Unfortunately, many or even most of those workers whose pockets will benefit will apparently be from India, not from the UK. Anyone still not believe in ‘The Great Replacement’?
Here’s Simon Webb explaining this latest Starmer betrayal of Britain, a country Starmer seems to loathe:

Despite the council election results neither Stalin or his mob seem t get it. Mere days after saying he understands, he’s stitching up British workers and prioritising those from other nations who have contributed nothing. What exactly do we need them for anyway? We have enough British born Indians surely bearing in mind they own more property in London now than indigenous folk. Why should anyone from overseas come here and get perks that native born hard working Brits dont get? Where is the demand or is it just cheap labour the corporations have asked of him.
Tomsk is right about them getting perks, and they don’t come free. We will be paying for them. The only thing this government seems to know how to do is put more nails into the UK’s coffin.
I have to wonder if the sudden influx of Induan workers is aimed to level out all the illegal migrants from the world’s favourite religion. Will we now have more sectarian violence from these 2 groups on the streets of London, Luton and Leicester.
Durham ( greatest city on Gods green earth set in the heart of the pink panther county ) makes a valid point.
