The UK should stop issuing visas from India at once. Enough!

@spathrose1921 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

People won’t learn a lesson….. scammers everywhere 🥲

Maybe stop terrorizing innocent people to marry your relatives and threatening acid attacks for refusing forced marriage.

@franciir March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

And students that go to UK for an mba…. Mba in uk doesn't mean you will get a job, definitely not in UK! Just money making for the colleges😂

@prakashth March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

It’s far easy to find a job in India with decent pay. The cost of living is less due to freebies

@thecitizen87935 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Their greed is the main reason,20 lakhs (22,000 pound)they can easily start a bussinace in Kerala or invest in systematic investment plan sip and work under any small entrupener in their village sip returns + salary is same like European salary and here u can live one month for 5000 rs and 50000rs it's up to u india is very much flexiabile

@amitavraja3385 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Why UK govt don’t prosecute Archita care firm for fraud? Just removing their licence is not enough.

@jspicecsn6843 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Yea..they callcoyotes "agents" and buy " visa" printed out in neighbors gafage but, yeah. I dont know how i got here? Y m i illegal? What is illega? Can I bring 555 ,33,000 relatives with me?

@dhrutisrikumar10 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

May sound harsh, but I have zero sympathy for someone who paid 12-50 lakhs just to move somewhere and would now cry about not having money for the child's education. What are you escaping / what are your priorities?

@The.david.666 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Feck off not welcome

@Oxford.t March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Indian Jobs is too funny
For 15K per month they looking for those who have 2+ years experience. And duty timing 12+ hours per day ( in private sector ).

And government is totally blind for those workers who work in private sectors.
In simple words Law ❌ lawda ✅

@nishanthselvamani5716 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

@VscoDegama March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

UK started this programme to rob innocent people because they knew that this route will be abused but they still kept giving licences to anyone who applied. The bankrupting government was obviously making money out of it. There are millions of such people who even came to the UK but the company that employed them vanished.

@JoeBidet-sq5dc March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Your grandparents fought against the Brits for an independent Hindustan
Why do you want to go to your oppressors house ??

Makes no sense

@unluckilylucky1120 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

100% literacy saar

@brianlai4387 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Indians will still continue to brag about how "good India is" while working and living illegally/legally in the UK. 😂
What's even more frightening is that the majority of Indian care workers and nurses in the UK aren't even qualified for the job.
Any qualification or degree from India is likely bogus.

@Hussainjafarim1974 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

There are so many care workers in uk these scammers bringing people from India Africa and all over the planet to destroy uk as they destroyed my beloved country Afghanistan

@OruPavamAucklanderfromthrissur March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

I will blame these people only not the scammers… For western friends the amount these people paid 20-30-40 lakhs ( Indian currency ) is more than enough to live in India, start small business or just put in FD and live happily… Malayalees cheat their own people to showcase rich life style to society..

@MrGizmoalchemist March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Some of the nicest nurses I’ve met recently… most from kerela

@pnrv March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

These people walk into their problem taking short cuts. And paying money to agents who are basically fraudsters.

Tell me why should anyone feel sorry for these people who do things that they know is illegal.

@Esthersbucketlist March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

I wouldn’t spend all that money to come to uk, Indians love uk too much

@michelebarnicott3954 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

@mohamednaina7590 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Come to east ham, London. You will see how hundreds of Kerala people from Trivandrum especially, come in visit visa and stay illegally and involve in various cash jobs, cheating others..

@Anu-x4c3y March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

It's simply malayali scamming malayali, grace international is backed by their own people.. Kerala has the worst living standards, drug addiction, women safety is questionable, naxalites ( terrisiom) that the average gen z doesn't wanna show in social media.
Do you guys wanna see a crime thriller, just watch Asianet news the crimes reported of these educated people will blow your minds.

@deshmaa1177 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Kerala is a communist state that thwarts industralization in Kerala but have no problems flocking to industralized nations. In some cases, as in the Middle East they have a strong lobby and are known to be hostile to other Indians!

@ukhilali7418 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Scammed for looking for a better life!!..

Stay in your country and help to deveop it.

@laurabellinger5683 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Because this is all these people know. Visa, bit coin scams. Just don't let them into your country for anything. They have NO respect for your laws or anything else.

@user_zyzymvb March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

India is the capital of visa scam

@nayanpatel5304 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Don't assume life in the UK will be any better than in India.

Everything in this country is broken – government, health care, education, police etc

Taxes, untilities and rents are high. You will be working a minimum of 6 days a week. Living paycheck to paycheck and little chance of gerting onto the property ladder.

@lonamark3842 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Working as a care worker nowadays has a very low salary and hardly pays for the monthly costs. Move within India and you will be far better.

@jeanlowen4213 March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Why do people think they can have a better life in the UK. When they can work to improve your own country!

@JeffJames-i8d March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

@aaminafathimaa March 24, 2025 - 10:40 am

Spending 50L just to come to the UK to do intimate care(care worker jobs main responsibility is that). Why the desperation to live India? I have been living in the UK for the last 10 years with an IT job.The situations are not easy, the cost of living is very high. With caseworker jobs, it's a difficult life. Not a degnified life either.
