Dark side of UK that no one tells you | Harsh Reality 2023 | London Tamil Bro 

அண்ணா, நீங்கள் சொல்வது 100% உண்மை. எச்சரிக்கை பதிவு. பதிவு கொஞ்சம் பெரிது தான். பொது நலன் கருதி கூறுகிறேன். நானும் என் மனைவியும் இந்தியா வில் ஐடி யில் வேலை பார்த்து மாதம் 2 இலட்சம் பிடித்தம் போக பெற்றோம். எங்களுக்கு ஒரு 3 வயது பெண் பிள்ளையும் உண்டு. சில குடும்ப பிரச்சினைகள் காரணமாக நாங்கள் பிரிந்து இங்கு வந்து வாழ விரும்பினோம்.கன்சல்டன்சி ஒன்றின் மூலமாக 2022 ஜனவரி மாதம் மாஸ்டர்ஸ் மேர் படிப்பு படித்து 3 வருடம் (படிக்கும் காலம் உட்பட) விசா உடன் இங்கு வேலை வாங்கி இங்கு settle விடலாம் என்று நம்பி இன்று வரை வேலை வாங்க முடியாமல் கஷ்டபட்டு கொண்டிருக்கிறோம். தயவு செய்து uk குறித்து சோஷியல் மீடியா ஊடகங்கள், கன்சல்டன்சி கூறும் பொய்யான கவரும் கூற்றுகளை நம்பி ஏமாற வேண்டாம். தற்போது இங்கு போரின் காரணமாக பொருளாதாரம் மிகவும் கீழ் சென்று கொண்டு இருக்கிறது. குடும்பம் (2+1) என்றால் (நகர்) மாதம்: 1bhk- 700-1200 gbp 2bhk- 950-1500 gbp கவுன்சில் வரி - 150-275 gbp தண்ணீர் வரி (quaterly)- 50-95 gbp மின்சார வரி - 100-200 gbp இன்டர்நெட் - 30-40 gbp பலசரக்கு - 200-400 gbp பிற செலவுகள்- 100 gbp. குடும்பம் (2+1) என்றால் (மாநகர்) மாதம்: 1bhk- 1200-1700 gbp 2bhk- 1500-2500 gbp கவுன்சில் வரி - 200-275 gbp தண்ணீர் வரி (quaterly)- 70-125 gbp மின்சார வரி - 200-300 gbp இன்டர்நெட் - 30-60 gbp பலசரக்கு - 350-500 gbp பிற செலவுகள்- 200 gbp. மாணவர்கள்: நபர் (1) என்றால் (நகர்) மாதம்: shared accommodation- 400-800 gbp பலசரக்கு - 100-200 gbp பிற செலவுகள்- 200 gbp. நபர் (1) என்றால் (மாநகர்) மாதம்: shared accommodation- 600-1000 gbp பலசரக்கு - 200-400 gbp பிற செலவுகள்- 200-400 gbp. நான் உட்பட என் நண்பர்கள் எவருக்கும் உரிய வேலை கிடைக்க வில்லை. குடும்பத்திற்குள் குழப்பம், தூக்கமின்மை, மன அழுத்தம், தவறான முடிவு எடுத்து விட்டோம் என குற்ற உணர்வு அனைத்தும் வாட்டி வதைக்கிறது. உங்களுக்கு சந்தேகம் எழலாம்.இவன் ஏதாவது ஒரு வேலைக்கு ஆகாத கோர்ஸ் படிதுறுபான்.அதனால் வேலை கிடைக்க வில்லை என்று. நான் படித்தது மாஸ்டர்ஸ் இன் data science. படித்தது மிக உயரிய மதிப்புடைய Rüssel group of university ஒன்றில். இந்தியா வில் ஐடியிள் வேலை பார்த்ததும் இதே துறை தான். இங்கு இருக்கும் ரக்ரூடெரும், கம்பெனியும் எதிர்பார்ப்பது உங்களுக்கு uk job experience இருக்கா என்பதே. அத்துடன் நீங்கள் British passport வைத்திருக்க வேண்டும். உங்களுக்கு interview Cal வர வைப்பதே மிகவும் சவாலான விஷயம். அப்படியே வந்தாலும் கன் துடைபிற்காக மட்டுமே இருக்கும்.

This is absolutely true and this is the same case in many European countries too. I was in Germany for a year and I realised that I made a huge mistake relocating there and I then again moved back to India. Don’t fall for all these U.K. , Canada and USA dreams and if you’re doing good in India then please stay here.

ரோஜா மலரின் பெருமை பேச இங்கு கோடிப் பேர் இருக்கலாம். ஆனால், அந்த செடியில் முல் இருக்கும் என்பதையும் சொல்லி தர சிலர் மட்டுமே இருப்பார்கள். அந்த வகையில் நீங்கள் தனித்துவமானவர். நீங்கள் தருவது விலை மதிப்பற்ற தகவல்கள். நீங்கள் அறியாமல் பலரின் வாழ்க்கையை காப்பாற்றுகிறீர்கள் என்பது மட்டும் நிச்சயம். வாழ்த்துக்கள் 👍🏻

நீங்கள் சொல்வது 100% உண்மை இந்த நிலைமையை எனது மகன் ஆறு மாதமாக வேலை கிடைக்காமல் அனுபவித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறான் இதுவரைக்கும் அவனுக்கு சரியான வேலை கிடைக்கவில்லை இப்போது அவன் சொல்கிறான் லண்டன் வருவதே வேஸ்ட் என்று பலமுறை சொல்லிவிட்டான் இது 100% உண்மை

Hi bro, I have been in UK for 23 years. Whatever you said is absolutely 💯. We have to suffer more than this because of the living cost in the uk. Lots of UK youtubers are only showing nice things, not the true reality. Thank you for saving lots of people's lives.

As of today India is a very good country to live, standard of living very high only not like 20 or 15 years back

I was in London for six months. Many students lived in a single bed room apt. Funny party is there was a lady also stayed with them. Getting a job is not easy as rightly said. Many of them work in restaurants as bill clerk or servers. They are happy to do such menial jobs rather than returning India.

அனைத்தும் உண்மை.நான்‌ஒரு ஜந்து மாதம்‌வந்து‌இருந்த‌பொழுது‌தெரிந்து‌கொண்டேன்.என்னைப்பொறுத்தவரை‌ தமிழ்நாடுதான் பெஸ்ட்.

I have been working here since January 2023,in the medical sector,was through COS,had nearly 12 years of experience.I have dreamt lot about the work place,but the reality is I face a lot of discrimination, disrespect and less opportunities .Lost our peace and really want to return back to India,to live a happy life even with less money.

100 percent true , I studied and worked total for 3 years then came back . Very high cost of living , bad health care and hospital system , not good for mental health and family on long term

Enakum London vara opportunity kidachuchi .but poga pidikala .enaku monthly 20k india la earn pannale podhum . nimmadhiya iruku.

No safety No job Rent too costly Bills too costly Transport very costly Groceries 100% hike Weather not better than India 26 - 40% income tax Council tax min C,D band 1600-1900 per year Its a trap 😂

நீங்கள் சொல்லுவதை பார்த்தால் வரட்டு கௌரவத்துக்காக வெளிநாட்டு வேலைக்கு செல்வது போல் தெரிகிறது. ( அதாவது இளைஞர்கள் நான் வெளிநாட்டில் வேலை செய்கிறேன் என்று சொல்வதற்கும். பெற்றோர் என் மகன் வெளிநாட்டில் வேலை செய்கிறான் என்று சொல்வதற்கும்.)

I was in London for 15 months and had my 1st delivery there ... What u said about hospitals are 💯 and also depression I couldn't sustain winter blues 😢

Same in germany..first problem is language barrier. Getting a job without german is very tough. Even kids also suffering in schools becoz of language issues..Depression,loneliness kills everyday. ESPECIALLY south india madiri oru edathula irundhutu europe irukamudila..india is india❤

Good content. Two corrections: 1. Healthcare is not free. When you come in a Visa you have to International Health Surcharge for each year of your visa. This is paid in advance. Only after paying this can you apply for your visa. Healthcare is free only for UK citizens. 2. International Drivers Permit cannot be converted to UK driving license. You can drive with that or with Indian DL for 12 months. Within this period you have to get UK Driving License.

We quit UK and came back three years ago Here we are doing farming Literally very less salafy than UK but here we are so peaceful. Nothing like living in India. You can have a helper, a cook, vegetables are cheap here, transport very cheap. more important is we need not suffer in extreme cold

Situation seems to be similar in America too. A neighbor's son graduated in Automobile Engineering from one of the top colleges of Chennai and went to the US for doing MS. Parents pledged their home and took an education loan (with some loan holiday period) where they pay only the interest till the son starts earning and pays the loan EMIs. But even three years after finishing his MS he could not find a well paying job which will enable him to pay the loan EMIs and still have a decent life in the US. Parents found it difficult to manage the EMIs, sold the home to settle the loan and have some cash in hand. Forunately they have another home in another city where they moved. The son has now come back to India and is working for an auto major here.

Southend-on-Sea: £700 - £900(1bhk), £850 -£1200(2bhk). Student/Shared accommodation £450-£650(All bills included)

My brother, I am commenting from Canada, but whatever you said is 💯% true. It's the same in Canada, too. I appreciate you speaking truly to let people have an idea and struggle while living abroad. Canada life has taught me so much 😢.

Bro, for all indians going to UK is like a dream but it will not work for everyone. So, I came to Dubai in 2018 as HR Manager & living a normal life like you mentioned, in India I have a 2BHK/Car/Bike but here I've only lived in Studio all these years & still I'm unable to afford a DL & its costing min.5k AEDs for a DL due family commitments. So the situation is more or less same every where else.. For outsiders Dubai looks like Ultra Luxury but those luxury are only for Americans, Europeans & Whites.. For all expats the only motivation is we can never earn this money in our home country & lifestyle is definitely better.. If someone cannot adjust, then they should better live in India & should not take a chance.. I've seen many stay in bunker beds & go back as they cannot digest it..

My sincere congratulations to you for the honest narrative about the adversities one has to go through in UK. This will be a lot helpful for the new comers to that country. Having knowledge about flip side of a country is essential for a person who aspires to live there.Thanks a lot for you👏👍

Absolutely correct . You should also say about the commutation charges especially train charges ☺️ travelling time in car 😳😰😰 from one place to another during school peak times and holiday times .

Hi whatever he said is absolutely true.I’m living in London in Hounslow and here the rent is 1750 plus council tax and the other bills.The Job market is not also as expected

This is very true! I came here to the UK as a student in one of the top 10 universities with so many dreams of getting a full-time job here. I have such passion, a couple of years experience from India, multitasking skills and adaptive nature, yet I only got rejections after rejections with jobs. I went till assessment round, performed well but still nothing came. Good news is that I am graduating with Distinction in December’23. Now, I’m all ready to go back home (planting new dreams with a bit of disappointment for my old shattered ones) 🙂

Very good video. I see there is a scope for part -2. You can touch upon below points 1. How much money we can save and send to India per month. 2. With UK work permit visa, what all countries you can visit. 3. UK education system with respect to schools. 4. Time taken for citizenship/permanent residency. 5. Any other things like cultural change, Indian community, job market in IT, and non-IT. You can touch upon well paying jobs and industry in UK.

Definitely the rents displayed on internet comparison websites or communicated by Universities hide the true picture. One has to evaluate how safe the neighbourhood is after dark, what connectivity, public transport and shopping conveniences are nearby, and what is really provided when they claim "fully furnished". When sensible options are seen, they will definitely be 50% or more higher than indicated on website information

In harrow ha2 area One bedroom - £1250 to £1350 Two bedroom - £ 1500 to £1850 Three bedroom -£2000 to£2500 Studio -£950 to £1050

நீங்க என்ன சொன்னாலும் நாமக்கல், தஞ்சாவூர், பட்டுக்கோட்டை பயலுக இங்கிலாந்துக்கு வர தான் துடிப்பார்கள். நிறைய கன்சல்டன்சி இவர்களை தான் இலண்டனுக்கு படிக்க அனுப்புகிறார்கள்.

07:30 Real experience. You still keep our language and culture bro. Thanks for your great service.

Sir, very good video, should be an eye opener for many youth. Please also give the real picture about how unsafe certain areas can be, especially with areas with white majority and rundown areas with immigrant majority. Having lived in the UK I know how feral some of the youth can be. Not sure how supportive law enforcement there would be. Plus, imagine the small Indian kids - how will they cope with the bullying from the whites and non-whites? After all, teachers in schools would never bother - Indian kids would be expected to "fall in line" - not raise too many problems and "somehow cope with bullying"... imagine the plight of these kids... why aren't these things discussed?

What you say exactly correct. Living here for the the last 40 yrs. Apart from cost of living, lot of other changes are taking place since covid. Very difficult to approach any dept or any other business over the phone easily. Council had one stop service previously, but very difficult to contact them over the phone. Need to be extra cautious while driving to make sure not getting any penalty notices from the councils in London area. Can say it is almost like at standstill.

I was there from 2007 to 2010,then returned to india.happy that I took right decision.i took the decision thinking my future of my kids

Bro I've watched almost 70% of your videos. To be honest your content selection and the way you're explaining what's happening in and around London and neighbouring countries is fantabulous. The information which you're providing is still amazing. Hats off for such useful contents. Keep on going 💯

London bro u said 💯% reality of this country. No exaggeration or threat, this is the truth. Expecting a lot more information from you. Doing great job bro. Keep rocking 🎉

WELL SAID BRO... THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLES WHO COME TO UK WITH MANY DREAMS..

22 வருடங்களாக London இல் இருக்கிறேன். பயனுள்ள தகவல்கள்

Thanks for the video thambi., because our family members never understand how much we’re going through. Their only thought is “She’s living in Europe “😢

Good one. I am living in UK for the past 25 years. Your points were always there. The house price. The employment, the cost of living etc. Your main highlight of Weather effect on the dependent is absolutely true. The NHS situation has moved from BAD TO WORSE. The older you become, more the trouble. Never mind. You are Bit loud. But well summersied.

நான் அந்த ஊரு பக்கமே தலவச்சுப் படுக்கமாட்டேன்.😂

ஒழிவு மறைவு இல்லாமல் சொல்வதற்காக நன்றி.

I'm staying in barking. Here one BHK costs me around 1475 pounds a month. Council and water - 150 pounds. Electricity around 100 to 150. We are a nuclear family of 3

அருமையான சிறப்பான பதிவு.. லண்டனில் நிறைய நண்பர்கள் இருப்பதால் இந்த தகவல்கள் எனக்கு தெரிந்தவைதான் ஆனாலும் பலருக்கு உங்களுடைய தகவல் பயனுள்ளதாக அமைந்திருக்கும்.

Nice brother.. I am prabhu from coimbatore. I am happy in my home town. Own house own business... Daily home food .. Non veg mostly... Near school...and happy life 🧬.. ( my bussiness is spices .. Sambar podi ,non veg masala manafacture.) I watch all your videos mostly.. Nice and good .. Moral of the story.. Live the life with what you have . .😅😅😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉

100 true bro and my personal experience was my son 2 yrs old got hairline fracture and we took him to emergency, same process whatever u said and it took around 5 hrs for the treatment.

தம்பி சொல்வது உண்மை ,ஆனால் யாரும் கேட்க மாட்டாங்க

Excellent video. Sensible advise. Thank you.

Thanks for your valuable information and guidance .

Nandri for telling truth. Most youtubes are all fluff and not nitty gritty. Sometimes feel like they are sponsored. Best wishes and speedy recovery from here in Msia.

Goods video bro. On NHS being free...that is only for kids and pregnant women if they are not citizens or from EU. For Indians that are on Tier visas, we already pay Health Surcharge as part of visa application!

Guys if you are bachelor and have IT job you can save some money. But if you come with family, prepare for lower middle class life style.

Bro you are giving correct informations.... I think living in any State India is very very comfortable than US, UK, Europe...

Nice one. Very useful and informatie vlog for those who comes uk with lot of dreams. Your narration is very clear and commanding. Keep it up. Take care of your health. Health is Wealth. God bless you and your family. ❤

I am messaging from Peterborough and as you said 100% truth and the rent for a ensuite room is about 650£ and a double bedroom flat minimum is about 900 and goes up to 1200

Sema video bro, innum strong ah solli irukalam thats how the situation here is. I am in Staffordshire, struggling to find job in Graduate visa. Here around 600 pound for 2bhk (without bills). Andha shoe leggings and pound conversion in initial time ultimate bro, experienced it...

Whatever he says is true. Not just UK, most of the european countries, US, Canada all are like that. but the problem is once people go there they get locked because they would have spent a fortune to get there and they wont have enough money to come back as they need to earn that money back. Its not worth spending so much money and going there. Everything is expensive. If u r in India, save the money and do something useful

அருமையான பயனுள்ள காணொளிக்கு நன்றி.

This is very helpful. Thank you🙏

Above all psychologically you will be stressed because 7 months living in the dark cold weather not good for mental health, depression rate is higher in UK

Bro! What u said is 100% true. Our people should makeup their mind and abide by the conditions with true interest.otherwise life will be find difficult.Thanks bro.

Get well soon, thank you very much, excellent video

Most valuable information from a very practical man. Thank you for your warning. May God bless you.

100% true. In addition to that, people will suffer in vitamin d deficiency due to lack of sun lights. Childrens are not allowed in theatre. So cant go to cinema / stage shows as a family till they grow. Its tough to leave a child anywhere safely when v go to hospitals

Bro! True what you are saying! Students, and dependents come here with lot of dreams! But nobody think that non skilled foreign workers are not much prefered as they have to employ their own British unemployed youths. Too many immigrants from all over Africa, Asian countries etc in the UK. How are they expecting to get a job easily, when there is so much competition from all the expats there. Few lucky get a job like winning a lottery, and that too probably only for a year or two. And I am sure, many Indian employees are not aware of their rights, gets exploited much by the employers, not even officially employing them. So many people take bank loans from India, and come back home not even earning much with their part time job as a student, as UK and elsewhere in Europe life is so expensive. I am lucky to still have a job here in Belgium ( where there are unemployed Belgian citizens) and live past many years.

Appreciated 🎉

Beautifull advice Thank you brother 🙏

Thank you to enlighten our people back at home!

சகோ, இந்த வீடியோவைப் பார்த்த பிறகு, நான் UKக்கான எனது விமான டிக்கெட்டை ரத்து செய்துவிட்டேன்.

Barking - zone 4 - Studio £1000, 1 bed- £1350, 2bed- £1700 plus council tax, electricity, Broadband. You need at least £1500 plus food and travel.

Good information bro. நன்றி தோழா.

On top of rent, council tax also has to be paid here as part of accommodation which takes a considerable amount

Good advice bro 😊

Correct info bro

Just happened to see this video. Can't agree more on this ,having lived 12 years in the UK. I returned to India 2 years back. I think you have explained very clearly everything, especially in the context of 2023 - the present, it is very very relevant. Things in the UK are not the same as it was ,say 10 or even 5 years back. The interest rates have gone from a mere 0.25 % to 5 % on home loans - which has a direct impact on renting. The rents have shot up and so are the other costs. There are lot of practical things to consider when you think of living with family in the UK for long term.

Very good bro. You are doing a wonderful job to guide the freshers/new comers to UK. Keep up your service oriented posts.

Very useful information brother

Well said Bro !!!

1. Getting guaranteer for house is difficult 2. Some house don’t have parking and you are not allowed to part on road ( 8am to 6pm) , (PCM parking was full in my area ) 3. My friends iPhone was snatched in Heathrow airport 4. Getting maintenance team from British Gas to fix boilers or heater takes time ( couple of days) 5. Getting skilled worker is becoming super difficult ( unless you have very good skills or ready to work in care home ) 6. Car insurance cost is higher than actual car cost ( used car) 7. Public transport ( train) is very expensive 8. No free drinking water or public toilets in most of the places

Hi bro I came to Glasgow as an international student by this September intake with my spouse..it took nearly one month to get a permanent accomodations and that too was shared accomodations for which I am paying 600£ including bills..here we are facing many challenges to get a job and cost of living also increased to...

Very well said.. Beware anyone thinks its all flashy life in UK as portrayed by some like London Tamilan.. life is truly very difficult for all new comers specially jobs. Believe it or not UK is no place for new comers , you have lot to lose.

Thank you so much for your information. Really appreciate your concern.

Useful video bro. Thank you

Suffering and pain is constant wherever you go..just chose where you want to comfortably suffer ..

I've heard about the issue of 'waiting for appointments' in many countries, such as the USA and Canada. Why don't they establish more hospitals to reduce appointment wait times?

Thanks for the info ,❤
