About immigration in the UK

 On May 12, 2025, the United Kingdom (UK) released a white paper outlining a major overhaul of its current immigration system.  

The goal is to reduce net immigration and restore border control.  


Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that the new reform plan represents a “fundamental reset” of UK immigration policy.

Net migration, which is the number of people entering the country minus the number leaving, is expected to reach a record high of approximately 900,000 in 2023.

The government asserts that this level is unsustainable and places excessive strain on housing, schools, and the National Health Service (NHS).

Government officials have stated that the new immigration reform will reduce immigration and create a fairer immigration system for UK residents.

After reading this article, I realized that it is difficult to balance immigration control and fairness. I think it will be important to pay attention to the future impact of this issue.

    The immigration problem is difficult for both of domestic people and foreigners.

    There are too many immigrants, so I want them to work hard on countermeasures.

    I learned that there are many problems with accepting immigrants. I thought that we should have a strong policy to deal with this issue.

    That's a difficult issue. Anyway, we can probably expect a positive effect if the system is strengthened and made clear and fair to citizens. It could help ensure the legal status of both existing and newly arriving immigrants, as long as it's done with proper consideration to avoid xenophobia.

The Soaring Price of Rice

イメージ
 　 Recently, we have been seeing a lot of news about the rising price of rice. 　From April to May 2025, the price of rice has continued to soar, with the price per 5 kg of rice exceeding 4,000 yen, having a significant impact on household food costs. 　This is due to a combination of factors, including a decrease in harvest volume caused by abnormal weather conditions, soaring costs of production materials such as fertilizers and pesticides, and an increase in import costs due to the weak yen. 　In addition, the government's release of rice stockpiles and the status of the 20-year harvest are expected to affect prices, but unless structural issues are resolved, it will be difficult to see a significant drop in prices. 　I found this news article to be a reminder that consumers need to be creative in saving money by comparing prices and buying in bulk. https://hikidashi.jp/article/747?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Ceasefire between India and Pakistan

イメージ
  India and Pakistan, which had been exchanging attacks, agreed to a cease-fire on April 10.  However, it was fragile, as the two sides claimed each other's violations immediately afterwards.  No clue has been found to resolve the territorial dispute over Kashmir, the cause of the confrontation, and the spark between India and Pakistan, which are de facto nuclear weapon states, has not disappeared.  This article made me think that if a war were to break out between these two nuclear powers, it would likely start World War III.
