It's almost like the xenophobic right wingers don't actually have a clue about what they're talking about.

London costs the UK money, then it doesn't.
Commonwealth citizens get easier entry, but they don't.
We give too much to the commonwealth, but they don't know how much that is or how.
They hate foreign born politicians, except their prime example is London born and bred.

You're very cross about something.

I doubt the commonwealth is of net benefit to the UK. It's easy to see what the others get out of it, but for us it looks like a very generous gift from us to the world.

Of course commonwealth citizens get into the UK easier. Are you saying this isn't the case? Or are you just demanding proof that the sky is blue?

it doesn't matter to me if the developers I work with are Indian or Polish.

Ever considered employing (and training) people from the UK?

Or do you have some sort of prejudice against them?

How? You keep saying this but can't say how. If it's as obvious as the colour of the sky it won't take you long.

They definitely have priority and easier entry. This is just reality, I'm not going to go hunting around to prove basic facts to you.

Ai summary:
No, Commonwealth citizens generally do not have easier entry to the UK and are treated similarly to other foreign nationals, requiring visas for work, study, or settlement.

No, Commonwealth citizens do not have automatic priority entry or special visa exemptions for the UK simply by being from a Commonwealth country.

Hilarious. So you can't find anything to support your xenophobic bigotry and a quick AI query says you're wrong.

The next time you say the sky is blue I'm going to be checking the weather report.

'People with Pakistani passports who have been here for two years can vote in British parliamentary elections' How can that be right?

And furthermore, any UK resident above state pension age can apply for Pension Credit.

Pension Credit gives entitlement to a plethora of other 'benefits' that people merely on the State Pension cannot get.

Note 'resident', not 'citizen', meaning recently arrived foreign old codgers can be better off than people who have worked here all their lives.

How is that better off? That would be equal at most and ignores all of the contribution factors.

You haven't quite got the hang of this truth thing, have you.

Anyone can apply for just about anything.
Whether or not they get it is a different matter.

I applied for a lottery win. I told them I'd taken part but I'd lost my ticket.
I didn't get the win.
