Britain has granted special Global Talent visas to Turkish trans drag queens, Nigerian rappers and poets. The Telegraphhas the story.
The “Global Talent visa” permits recipients to stay in the UK for five years along with their dependents, and is intended to bring the very best creatives to the country.
Applicants must have their claimed artist merit endorsed by the Arts Council before visas are ultimately signed off by the Home Office.
The Telegraph has learned that transgender drag queens are among the talents welcomed to Britain, along with Nigerian rappers and poets who now have platforms offering advice on how to obtain UK visas. …
Examples of the global talents who have come to the UK have emerged amid growing debate about the visa route for creatives, and a 178% increase in annual applications since 2019.
One of those who has received a coveted arts visa is Kübra Uzun, a transgender drag artist and “LGBTQIA+ rights activist” from Istanbul, who goes by the stage name of Q-BRA.
Uzun considers themselves an LGBTQ activist
Uzun’s multi-disciplinary oeuvre includes the song ‘Koli Kanonu’, translated as “F—buddy Canon”, about going out to find a sexual partner.
The drag artist has also released, on Youtube, a version of a Carmen aria by Georges Bizet, re-writing the lyrics in “Turkish queer slang”.
Also in receipt of the Global Talent visa, according to a self-created online fundraiser to support them on arrival in the UK, was another transgender drag artist, going by the name Akis Ka.
Akis Ka aims to “leave queer marks on art history”
Ka seeks to “leave queer marks on art history” across various disciplines, with a focus on “trans rights/of existence, body politics, food and eating sociology”.
Images from Ka’s Instagram page show a sign being held at a Pride march, stating: “JK is Rowling into Azkhaban.” …
Another image on Ka’s Instagram shows the drag artist holding a cardboard sign that states: “I support trans wrongs.”
Tobi Adegbite is a Nigerian rapper now living and working under the stage name Rhookcastle, who has brought his music “from Lagos to Birmingham”. …
Other talents who have similarly diversified include Faith Moyosore Agboola, a Nigerian performance poet who earned a Global Talent visa. …
Faith Moyosore Agboola, a poet who secured a talent visa, opened a YouTube channel to help others do the same
The Telegraph recently revealed that Nigerians have dominated the literature category of the Global Talent visa for the past five years, putting in 125 applications, more than double those received from the USA, 61, and far more than other Anglophone nations Australia, Canada and New Zealand combined.

Will they be granting these Visa’s to anyone with a Foreign sounding name, so they can then appear to crack down on the “small boats”?

I tried to think of an intelligent and learned comment to make on this article, as have my peers below. I couldn’t, so just resort to FFS…

Sorry, I skipped right over this article. I am sorry the daily sceptic finds it necessary to spend a second on this subject. Disappointing.

Don’t we already have sufficient numbers of “Mutha Fukka Yo” artists?

This article is very apt, considering the “March for Australia” protests against Mass Third World Immigration today in Australian towns and cities. Aussie National Treasure Senator Pauline Hanson was one of only a few Australian politicians who bothered to attend. I’ve just finished watching her moving speech to the nearly empty Australian Parliament (link below). Here are a few comments from the public:
— ” As a working man who came here from England 15 years ago, who still works and contributes and just had my immigration ceremony, I was shocked at the amount of people who could not even speak English but were given citizenship! Astounding!!
I implore any Australian politicians to sit in on that nonsense and highlight this fact. I’m not a racist but I was one of 3 white people out of over 200, which is certainly eye opening.
I’ve seen the nonsense first hand in England. I have have a daughter and a son and don’t want to see that hatred here too.
Rape, nonces, illegal immigrants all treated better than ex servicemen and people who already live and were born there. I’ll be flying both my flags tomorrow!!! ”

Presumably we only have to let a few more cultural enrichers of the faith of his homeland to see him fleeing elsewhere when they introduce their religious laws

It’s the call efrect.
The UK has announced itself to the world as a paradise for “diverse” people. So that is what it is going to attract from around the world.
Also a paradise for anyone who has enough chutzpah to claim to be a refugee and be lavishly looked after. That’s a pretty strong call effect too.
This country is going be so fabulous it’s beyond our imagination 🤢🤮

I don’t know what a “trans drag queen” is so it’s hard to know what to make of this. It sounds like bullshit word salad made up by people who want to distort reality and confuse. Please don’t use the language of the enemy.
I thought a drag queen was a bloke dressed up as a woman. I thoght a trans woman was a bloke pretending to be a woman. It’s a double negative in my book.
I saw a funny the other day. ——A ttans person said “I was born a man but now identify as a woman so please do not judge me”. ——The other person replied “I Identify as a judge”
