Universal Credit is state welfare. The cost of it is now heaped upon native Britons who are in no position to afford it as the economy continues to crumble under the misrule of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Brits have been lied to incessantly, from promises to control illegal migration to outrageous assertions that open-door, unvetted migration would fill much needed jobs in the UK as birthrates decline. Those same promises and arguments have also been made in the leftist countries of the EU.
“Record number of non-UK nationals are unemployed as nearly 1.3m foreigners claim Universal Credit,” by Temie Laleye, GB News, August 12, 2025:
The number of non-UK nationals out of work has hit a record high, with nearly 1.3million foreign nationals now claiming Universal Credit.Foreign nationals accounted for 21.5 per cent of all unemployed individuals between January and March 2025.
The ONS figures, based on the Labour Force Survey, show that between the three months, 346,000 non-UK nationals were unemployed – the highest number on record.
In July 2025, there were 1.298 million foreign nationals claiming Universal Credit, according to the Department for Work and Pensions.
Of these, 524,598 were receiving in-work Universal Credit, while 759,375 were out-of-work claimants.
The figures include 174,299 people with refugee or humanitarian status and 770,213 who have been granted settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme. Another 213,666 had Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK.
Three years earlier, in July 2022, there were 927,837 migrants claiming Universal Credit across different immigration routes – meaning the number has risen by 370,539, or 40 per cent.
Robert Bates, Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control, said: “We were promised that mass migration would bring unbridled prosperity to Britain. Instead, the taxpayer is being expected to financially support 1.3million foreign national universal credit claimants, with one in five of those now unemployed being non-Brits.
“The costs of this open-border experiment are becoming clearer every day and it is time we end, once-and-for-all, the flow of low wage, low skilled foreign nationals into Britain.”…

As a Jew whose co-religionists have suffered in Great Britain under the anti-semitism of the mayor and the country at large, I can only feel the Hand of Gd when seeing the entire damned country go to the dogs.England, you are reaping what you sowed. You could not rescue Jews in WWII.You held the Jews out of refuge in Palestine. Gd works in strange ways. Your damned country is going to hell in a handbasket.Karma is a b*tch. But you certainly enjoyed it. Keep arresting your citizens for putting derogatory things about Islamism on social media, and let your grooming gangs continue.You want it. You got it. There will always be an England.Only it will have a new name. UKistan. From a Jew who watches and waits. If you detect a bit of schadenfreude, you are more perceptive than I thought
Eddie says
I am English.
How am I reaping what I sowed?
Millions of English people like me – ordinary folk whose parents and grand parents fought in two world wars.
Many died on foreign soil fighting not just for the freedom our people but also to free Europe.
We “did not rescue the jews in Europe? ?
I have never had any animosity towards Jews and have have never met anyone who has.
I fully support what Israel is doing. We should all be fighting Islamic terrorist.
If you are representative of Jews then I need to think again.
But I don’t think you are representative of Jews.
You have nothing to say that is worth hearing.

sorry you take this so personally. Here is another view.
Robert Julius (born 16 July 1956) is a British solicitor advocate known for being Diana, Princess of Wales’ divorce lawyer[1]
and for representing Deborah Lipstadt.[2]
He is the deputy chairman
at the law firm Mishcon de Reya[1] and honorary solicitor to the Foundation for Jewish Heritage. He is a trustee for the Institute of Jewish Studies.
you may find his book interesting:
Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England
is a 2010 book by British lawyer Anthony Julius.[1]
The book details the role played by antisemitism in the history of the United Kingdom. The book argues that British anti-Zionism developed out of antisemitism in the United Kingdom and utilizes many of the same antisemitic tropes in its arguments.[2]
ploome says
I see your support for Israel and Jews has a very profound moral basis.
Mike 2 says
I agree with all you say. Most Brits like and respect Jews. We love your humour and your contribution to science and entertainment. My only reservation would be towards cosher slaughter.
Tony Rice says
Kosher method of slaughter was a great advance in the years 3000 ago when ” Thou shalt not cut a limb from a living animal ” was ordered. Great advances have been made since but in those far off times, kosher was a great advance, no animal to be killed in the sight of another and carried out by a specialist in a prescribed manner. My only disagreement with it is not allowing stunning ( might cause blood clot, run the risk for the sake of the animal, if not, don’t eat meat.)
Mike says
Kol Hakavod! My father’s father, WWI vet and prison camp guard (of Nazis) in WWII would be made deathly ill at the sight of his native country were he alive today. Friend Eddie who replied to you missed your point by a mile, but then he’s a citizen of Oceania and criticism of the Party is anathema. Seems he was champing at the bit for a reason to withdraw his supposed support of the Jewish people; it took exactly one remark in an online forum to get to that point.
ploome says
sad, isn’t it?
tgusa says
To be fair…Historically…The British ruling class hierarchy have caused suffrage among all the peoples of Britain who aren’t them. Don’t take it personally Big Dude.

Actually, suffrage means the right to vote.

In the UK former lefty Labour councillor Ricky Jones who last Summer called for the slitting of political opponents throats, has walked free from court.
Calling for this in the street with thousands present, pulling his finger across his throat to emphasise the call.
They will have loaded up the jury with fellow nogs and lefty nog lovers to achieve this.
He wasn’t advised to plead guilty like many genuine Brits last Summer. He was eventually given bail while others protesting against the invasion and all its consequences where told they would never get bail to force them to plead guilty hoping for a low sentence only to receive lengthy jail time.
Yet another example of two tier justice in the UK. Especially compared to Lucy Connelly given 31 months for a tweet triggered by the Southport massacre which was quickly deleted. A person with a young daughter as well who suffers daily.
Incidentally, if I called for this nog Ricky Jones to have his throat cut, that would be OK then?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Is Ricky Jones a convert to islam? Slitting throats is something so very islamic – qur’an 47:4
England Invaded says
He’s just a useful idiot to them at the moment I believe.
Hudders. says
He is a thug & should be in jail.
But……….Of course he gets away with doing the death cult bidding.
Eddie says
Thanks for bringing that to attention here.
Inciting a hostile mob to kill – all on video.
Not Guilty.
But he’s brown. And he is opposing folk the Government call far right.
Of course he isn’t guilty.
We pay for folk of his ilk to live free in Britain.
England Invaded says
I just sincerely hope what he advocated happens to him.

Insane–inciting violence is *not* protected speech.

The lies told….*we need workers to do the jobs citizens won’t do* and *we need these migrants because citizens won’t have children*….are now on the front pages and the minds of those who must support the lazy, greedy, illegal thugs.
It’s a disaster which was planned by those who were elected to take care of their citizens in ways the citizens couldn’t…..roads, police, etc….. Now, the citizens are paying a heavy price, in so many ways.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“The lies told….*we need workers to do the jobs citizens won’t do* and *we need these migrants because citizens won’t have children*…
Lies – for sure.
Automation / robotics, etc., will certainly reduce the need for many entry-level jobs.
And native Brits would have more children if they had government tax incentives (like Hungary) – and a future of basic human rights with freedom from criminal muslim invaders.
OLD GUY says
Thats a good solid point.
tgusa says
The leftist UK establishment calls them migrants but as with all leftist descriptions the name itself is a lie. Parasites is the realistic term for what the left call migrants.
Rufolino says
The evidence is making it clear that the appropriate name for these invaders is Sex Migrants.
Troybeam says
Islam, rape a nation after invasion of hits wealth, refuse to work and the government lets them get away with it. should be no work, no pay, don’t like it you can leave.
somehistory says
The Apostle Paul wrote that “if a man doesn’t want to work, neither let him eat.”
Even those who don’t read the Bible, can agree with him.
Siddi Nasrani says
Amen, to that. That reminds me of a Chinese proverb.
‘ No worky, no eaty.’
somehistory says
There is wisdom and common sense in those words.
In the U.S., there is welfare for those who need it, and some have abused it. But some states require that healthy adults have to look for work if they want to get any food stamps and are unemployed. They must be willing and looking or they get cut off.
Why should it be different for those who invade a nation?
tgusa says
The real problem in the UK is the presence of VP J.D. Vance.

Big Dude is correct in reaping and sowing for GB over its national ant-semitism from the royal family and parliamentary decisions (1190 expulsion; walking back the Balfour Declaration; stopping Jewish immigration to Israel, enabling Arab attacks on Israelis, knowing the daily death toll in the camps and not trying to stop it etc.). However there is a bit of detail here: Noah prophesied concerning his three sons and Japhath (British people descend from him) was told to dwell in the tents of Shem. GB continually tells Israel what to do in their own country, hardly modelling “dwelling in the tents of Shem.” This relation to Shem is made explicitly clear with Abraham (Gen. 12:3) that blessing and cursing will be returned (connected to Big Dude’s reaping and sowing). But that is not national but individual. The second clause is national where all the families of the earth are blessed through Abraham (Isaac and Jacob). The mathematics is not clear: how many of the population need to elicit this behaviour, how serious does the collective decisions against Israel need to be? That is in the Holy Ones domain. GB is in trouble and repentance is the answer. Jacob (James) paraphrases 2 Chron. 7:14; James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
John says
Correction: meant 1290 not 1190 AD

Then send them and their families back from whence they have come, and bill their native nation for the costs to return, and for any expenses while invading for illicit gains the host countries.
tgusa says
The indigenous peoples of the UK did not do this to themselves. The people were not asked about it, The UK people did not approve it.
The Magda Carita from 1215. The beginnings of Western civilization. So, given your proud heritage please act in accordance with that.
Troybeam says
When the people saw what was happening could they not have voiced their disapproval in the invasion of Muslims. They waited too long and the government became appeasers to Islam and turned on the citizens. That is a quiet violent take over from within the government. Muslims should never be allowed to hold a political office in any non Muslims nation.

Liebe Briten, wollt ihr euer Land zurück, in Freiheit, Wohlstand und Demokratie leben? Dann steht von euren Sofas auf und begehrt gegen eure Unterdrücker auf. Ihr seid die Mehrheit, ihr seid der Souverän. Dann macht von eurer Macht Gebrauch. Nur Mut. Oder wollt ihr wie die Deutschen- die geborenen Untertanen- verhöhnt und verachtet werden?
