Looking for opinions from this sub to settle a debate. One of the most vocal Reform supporters in this sub, AdenWS fled a country due to war and went to a country he doesn't have the right to live in. He didn't let any authorities know, and stayed there under the radar from the government. By definition, is he?

Spending on welfare for foreign nationals totalled about £23bn in 2025, according to a leading think tank, amid calls for a rethink on the impact of immigration and the welfare system. 

Doesn't include the naturalised of course.

Doesn't include their NHS costs - 3,500 a year

Doesn't include their common goods costs, - 4,000 a year

Doesn't include their dependents.

Doesn't include their dependents education 9,000 a year

So there's a huge amount of money to be saved.

Jeffrey Donaldson sentenced to 15 years in prison for child sex abuse

So did the intelligence services know and cover up?

Did Blair know?

Why are they giving community service to migrant child sex abusers for the same?

I’m in no way left wing but also not a fan of reform (used to be) but people who claim “Asians are taking over”. The England football team has zero Asians yet a clear very high amount of black players, when there’s more Asians in the uk than black. If the England team was 50% Asian you’d see a lot of people having a problem with it, but when it’s 50% black nobody has any issues with it?

Where does it stand?

We could do with some real opposition to this pointless war, particularly as ending it would bring down our energy bills and defence costs and increase safety.

Also, Ukrainians are being forced to fight at gunpoint. Estimates are the Zelensky regime is kidnapping circa 1,000 men per day off the streets - forcing them into conscription, and sending them to a front line where the average life expectancy is roughly 72.

What sort of life is that over a piece of dirt that'll be owned by international banksters even if they win.

Reform are currently losing support, they're dropping in the polls and are now on the verge of a weirdo scandal so what do they have to lose?

"Germany: Far-right AfD forges a pro-Russia alliance"

For those of you who are members of Restore Britain…

Four in five new jobs created in Britain since 2014 were taken by migrants, a report has found.

The analysis by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) found that the number of jobs recorded through PAYE increased by about 3.7 million between 2014 and the end of 2025.

Just 734,000 of the increase was accounted for by British nationals taking the jobs. EU nationals represented a further 408,000, while the number of jobs held by non-EU nationals increased by around 2.5 million.

Most of the increase has come since 2020, the start of the so-called “Boriswave” when nearly four million migrants were granted visas to work or study in the UK. According to the CSJ analysis, non-EU payroll positions rose by 2.1 million.

However, the research also showed that the number of largely British people receiving out-of-work benefits rose by 2.3 million over the same period. Annual spending on working-age benefits rose by £50bn in real terms since 2019-20.

My quick reading into this:

British people are being phased out of work (indicated by 2.3 million out-of-work benefits being granted) and nearly ALL new hires are migrants.

1. mandatory decommissioning and restoration insurance requirement

Green companies need to have insurance, bank guarantee, or a fund, to cover the clean up costs.

1. The renewables obligation goes. No subsidies. 7.8 bn saved.

More because Ofgem don't need to administer it.

No money goes to wind farm operators. No Electricity companies get the money

1. Contract for differences cost 2.3 bn. Again paid by the consumer, money going to windfarms etc.

So that's 10.1 bn

The results. Total current sales of electricity is 26 bn.

So we can drop that to 15.9. That's close to a 40% drop in electricity prices.

The average electricity bill would drop from 875 pounds to 525 pounds

So why does the insurance have to come first? It's because they are going to walk away and leave the tax payer to clean up their mess.

Hossein Mohmoudi said he could not have attacked the victim because he has a small appendage and is obese.

The 35-year-old Iranian, who racked up five criminal convictions in Germany before claiming asylum in the UK,

He left Iran in 2014 before entering Turkey, Greece, Germany and France illegally before coming to Britain. During his stay in Germany, Mohmoudi was convicted twice of assault and three times of criminal damage.

Mohmoudi, speaking through an interpreter, admitted chatting on a fetish website on the day before the attack. He said it was "helpful for my English language"

However, Dr George Fowlis, a consultant urologist, told the court Mohmoudi was "normal".

So why is he in the UK?

Passed through safe countries.

Germany is safe

Turkey is safe.

France was safe.

When seeing Reform supporters give their opinion on things, they tend to be to the right of Reform and align more with Restore in their opinions, and I’ve seen many say they’d vote Restore if they become more mainstream and knew voting for them wouldn’t ’split the vote’.

So I ask to Reform voters/members, what’s your reason for not voting Restore? Fear of splitting the vote or because you genuinely align more with Reform?

The cost of maintaining and building roads comes to 7.1 billion.

9 billion is taxed using VED

Fuel duty collections 24.26 billion

The government doesn't release the VAT numbers charged on fuel and it also charges VAT on Fuel duty - tax on tax. The estimate is another 10 bn

So that £43.26 billion of tax but 7.1 bn in services

A profit of 36.16 bn. 6.09 times the cost. A whacking profit.

So lets abolish VED. Costs a lot to collect. A lot to enforce.

Lets stop taxes being charged on taxes. No VAT on fuel.

We just have a transparent tax, fuel duty. That's set to raise the cost of maintaining roads. It's hard to dodge and evade. It's cheap to collect. 11 payments once a month from oil refineries. No need to reclaim VAT from HMRC for companies.

For electric cars, we charge 2p a mile. Less than the current tax raid. 2p roughly corresponds to fuel duty. Everyone pays. That's less than the government's current 3p a mile raid on electric cars.

Food costs drip, clothes drop. Makes online shopping cheaper, It's a major impact on the cost of living removed. Everyone is better off.

My father is a legal migrant who moved to the uk when he was about 13, came legally with the papers and with the documents.
Lived here most of his life and had me so now I'm curious what is reforms opinion on legal migrants and their families?
