Kemi Badenoch is a footnote of a footnote in history. Ignore her. There’s a far bigger threat from a far more successful right-wing agitator. The Tories are sunk.
What party was in power before the current government. Does anyone know?
In principle I’m in favour of this, but it’s a bit rich given the circumstances that led to Kemi Badenoch herself being a British citizen.
What about mothers who travel here from foreign countries to abuse our NHS and try and gain citizenship through the back door? Maybe we could revoke the citizenship of their offspring? Make the parents pay back the costs of care?
This proposal is very bad for the economy. The vetting should be difficult to be accepted into a permanent residency and should be difficult to be accepted into the system of acquiring citizenship.
Making them wait 15 years means these immigrants will be allowed to stay but will find it almost impossible to find jobs. This will make it harder on nhs, on the government and will make them a burden.
For the lord sake not any suggestion that sounds slightly racist is a good suggestion. Please think a little about the consequences. This Brexit mentality of supporting isolation and slightly racist solution without thinking of the main problem is the reason we are in such situation
Why? What is the advantage of doing that when it’d just dissuade high-skill immigrants from coming here? You can either have nativism or be competitive, you can’t have both.
i just cant figure out her endgame goal. Every time she opens her mouth its like shes actively trying to destroy her own reputation.
this is stupid.. punishing the people that pay taxes and are integrated by increasing the time they have to spend here. Meanwhile nothing changes for the ones that don’t follow the rules and wouldn’t be eligible to aply after 6 years anyway They are still free to stay. It’s almost like an invite to not following rules.
Kemi you can fuck right off with this kinda pish. 15 years is a joke. Thought you were trying to help people come here legally.
Bit ironic coming from the literal Nigerian.
Olokemi Grew up in Nigeria, referred to herself by her tribal identity and is a dual passport holder.
Under her own rules she wouldn’t have been eligible for citizenship.
Her parents had her here hoping she’d be their anchor baby. She was also one of the MPs who applauded the previous government’s lifting of the visa caps. Oh how the turn tables.
this woman would go back in time and stab her grandparents to death it sounds like.
if she of all people are trying to jump on the xenophobe bandwagon, she should at least try and put her own spin on it.
Hate this.
What I’d do is make gaining citizenship easier legally but make harsher penalties for illegal immigration.
We want the best of the best to contribute and stay, not scare them off with shitty political stunts like this. We have a serious labour shortage over here. Why scare off good workers with jobs, who want to contribute to our country, by making the system hostile to hardworking legal employees?
At this point, it’s probably easier for the good ones to stay away, leaving us with the illegals and the terrorists… THAT’S what badenoch is incentivising.
I mean by her own definitions she should probably go back to Nigeria since her mother was a medical tourist and only came here to give birth.
Lead by example, Kemi.
There isn’t an issue with people coming over here going the legal route though..
So just fiddling with numbers and no actual change. And she had how long to think about her number 1 issue? What a joke.
Kemi Badenoch is not important. Borderline irrelevant.
She’s the mouthpiece for a bunch of right-wing plutocrats.
This will only increase illegal immigration. What a dumbass.
How about no? Our current rules are absolutely fine.
She’ll be nothing more than a pub quiz question in 10 years time.

If the Tories keep her in they’re at least a 15 year wait from office
And where do these people reside whilst waiting for said citizenship?
Oh be quiet for a bit Kemi.
Calling it now that she’ll appear on I’m A Celeb or SOS within the next decade. Another Tory chancer.
So someone whoms family moved to the UK while pregnant to give birth here (to her) then went back to Nigeria to live their childhood there before coming back wants to pull up the ladder behind her? yeah….if she wants this then she should nominate herself as the first one.
With morons like this in politics, it’s no wonder we are a joke now.
Ive paid 10k pounds already on the 5 year route. I still need to pay 2k for the passport. Fuck Badenoch.
I know it doesn’t matter because she’s not a serious person, but she keeps going on about the importance of integration, so why would she make citizenship – surely the most important step to integration – so much more difficult?
What a shambles… Starmer, badenough, fargage…. God help us
And no one asked the reason for a 15 year wait and then what could happen within and at the end of the wait.

From today to 15 years in the future is still a smaller gap than the one in between her 2 front teeth
I’d like to suggest a fifteen year waiting period before implementing anything proposed by Kemi Badenoch…
I frequently find that people who want to make things harder for immigrants don’t have the first fucking clue about how arbitrary and difficult our current immigration system is.
Is this the same Kemi Badenoch whose mother flew to the UK for her birth, exclusively to obtain birthright citizenship?
If it wasn’t for her mum playing the system, she’d be an immigrant. Braverman also closed the door that got her here. What are they afraid of, deep down, what scares them?
Why are all the people of colour in the conservative party such douchebags!
Agree with her though on 1 point about citizenship, people take advantage of it and manipulate the system. Ex wife who is not British used the system to pretended she was domestically abused and tortured wife and got citizenship in the uk. Unbeknownst to me she was building a case, filing police reports while married and going to a therapist to back up her claims, had me arrested when I wanted to end the marriage. The foreigners know the laws and loopholes better than the people born here.
It only needs to be three years. If you are found to do any crimes you get kicked out, if you do a crime after that you get you citizenship revoked and you get removed from the country.
That’s hilarious, considering that Badenoch only got UK citizenship because her mother travelled to the UK for the birth. Her mother travelled from Nigeria to the UK to give birth in St Teresa’s private hospital before the [British Nationality Act 1981](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Nationality_Act_1981) abolished automatic [birthright citizenship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli) for those born in the United Kingdom, and then returned to Nigeria with her new baby shortly after Badenoch was born. Badenoch then spent her childhood living in [Lagos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos), Nigeria, and in the United States, where her mother lectured.
Weird. Her mother wasn’t here for 15 years. In fact she came to the UK specifically to give birth to Kemi so as to ensure she got birthright citizenship (for commonwealth citizens) before it was abolished in 1981.
Ironically, people with high salaries will less likely to come to the UK knowing that they’d take 10 years to get IRL, considering that there are countries on par or better than the UK for high paying jobs.
