Everybody belong to somewhere including you alaye. Difference is that some have balls to express themselves while others can’t

They use those ‘balls’ to ‘express themselves’ in support of the killing of 1,200 people by a Terrorist organisation. When the law comes after them, the pee in their little pants, 🩲 pull the race card, and (like their ‘brave hero girl’, they whimper and beg that their statements were ‘taken out of context’.

So much for Balls.

Very interesting views there by Wallg123 vs ReesheesuKnack.

My take:
1. Two things can be wrong and two things can be right at the same time.
2. The reaction to an action, although opposite, is no always necessarily equal (forgive my rustiness of Newton’ s 3rd law of motion).
3. I wholeheartedly condemn the modus operandi of Israel (IDF)’s current ops in Gaza.
4. I wholeheartedly condemn Hamas’ heinous killings and attacks on October 7.
5. It is possible to hold 3 & 4 (above) as both are not right.
6. We (at least I) cannot condemn the IDF for the brutal response currently going on in Gaza, the the same me praise Hamas for the brutal killings of October 7. Both are wrong (again, my opinion).
7. Actions (including bravery) have consequences.
8. I think it is stupid & foolhardy for a student, on tier 4 visa to shout at the top of her voice on 8th October, praising Hamas for killing thousands of innocent souls. Conversely, I think it will be stupid for an Israeli school boy to ‘protest’ in Tehran in support of the IDF’s actions in Gaza. It will be stupid for that Israeli schoolboy to grant Press TV or even AlJazeera an interview, praising the IDF and saying what the IDF is doing amounts to heroics.
9. If only ReesheesuKnack & Wallg123 could agree to disagree that would be great for this conversation.
10. Freedom of speech is great! Wisdom in speech is greater.

Hi Guys,

My missus has just done ambulance service interview and she did well (she was called), however, the visa status is the limiting issue due they mentioned it's not on the shortage occupation list, I could have sworn I saw it on the list for health and care visa under ambulance service and it says excluding paramedics. it's a band 4 role.

please how can I confirm if it's really not on the list or should we just let it go?

The Shortage occupation list has been overhauled and replaced by an much slimmer Immigration Salary List; ambulance service workers are not on the new list :

As it's a band 4 role however, have you checked if the salary meets the threshold?

good evening all,

pls this is a long question but I will appreciate any response from experienced users here.

my sister set up an online email marketing business and registered it in the UK even though she was still in Nigeria. This was done to overcome the payment obstacles on most platforms for nigerian citizens/residents. She put my name in as a manager during the registration process. At this time, I was also still in nigeria.

fast forward to now, I’m on a student visa. She got offered business funding by Stripe which she can only claim if she’s a UK business owner AND a UK resident. She only meets one of the criteria, so she wants me to claim it in my capacity as a Manager of the business.

so my question now is:
- is being listed as a manager even though this was before coming to the Uk, against my student visa?
- is claiming the business fund using my own details not going to go against the rules of my student visa?

This man's case was complicated by fraudulent evidence being out forward by his former solicitor. He should eventually be granted but this highlights the need to review any application submitted on your behalf.

What if the application is being handled by a supposed professional?? A lawyer for example or a doctor.

Good morning everyone,
I am currently a student here in the UK. Our daughter is in Nigeria and yet to join. I would like to know when could be the least time she can join us in order to be eligible to apply for Post study work Visa. Could it be less than 6 months to the end of my student Visa? Its bn hard to find this information on the gov.uk website.
Thanks.

Like deept said, it doesn't matter - as long as you're over 18 and signed the relevant declarations on the form, then it's your responsibility.

I personally know of a barrister who was negligent with an application and the client's mother (who was applying for leave to remain) ended up being deported back to China.

The client reported the barrister and the investigation found him guilty of malpractice (there were other cases and aggravating factors as well) and disbarred him, imposed a fine and a prison sentence - just to show how egregious his offences were.

Justice of sorts for the client, but they still had to bear the consequences of his actions.

Many lawyers get away with malpractice with BAME clients because of the culture of under-reporting/keeping quiet.

Hello,

Please has any one had a court summons as a result of tv license even after explaining that you don’t need it? The funny thing was that tv licence guy got into the property by pretending to be a delivery person. The lady at home was scared and put on the tv for him. He concluded it was being used to watch tv. 4 months later she got a court summons. She intend to plead not guilty but confused on how to respond

Do you normally let delivery men into your house when they have nothing to deliver and then allow them to sit down, get comfortable and then switch on the TV for them? I am afraid it's a fine, especially if they have video evidence but speak with a lawyer.

According to her she opened the door thinking it was a delivery guy, he introduced himself and said he has the right to come in and inspect the property. The lady in question was new in the country about 2 months then and was not aware and familiar with a lot of things.

- is claiming the business fund using my own details not going to go against the rules of my student visa?

copied (Manager Listed Before Moving to the UK: Being listed as a manager for a business before you came to the UK, in itself, is not likely to violate the terms of your student visa. However, any active role you play in the business while in the UK, especially if it involves paid work, could potentially be problematic. Student visas typically have specific restrictions on the type and amount of work you can legally undertake.

Claiming the Business Fund: Using your details to claim the business fund could be considered as actively engaging in business operations, which might not align with the work restrictions on your student visa. Student visas often limit the number of hours you can work and may restrict engaging in business activities or holding certain levels of responsibility in a business.

few steps you might consider:

Review Visa Conditions: Check the specific conditions of your student visa. Most visas will explicitly state what kind of work or business activity is permitted.
Legal Advice: Given the complexity and the stakes involved (both immigration and potential legal issues around misrepresenting the business ownership or operations), it would be wise to consult with an immigration lawyer or a legal advisor who specializes in business law. They can provide advice tailored to the specifics of your case.
Communicate with Stripe: If possible, explaining the situation to Stripe may help. They might have legal teams who understand these complexities and could advise on a compliant way to process the funding.)

Lol, it's "emotions " when I calmly disagree that the scan request was inappropriate, but it's not emotions when you for example have an illogical reaction, crying racism, whenever someone posts an article on a crime that has been committed by a Nigerian(s), even though it's factual.

You call it adhominem, but for me it's just calling out the whiff of hypocrisy in some of your comments. As an example, remember some of our earlier "engagements" lol back in 2022 in the wake of the dependants crackdown, when you declared that Brits are not educated/ interested in university education, were mostly lazy and that the UK needed immigrants more than the immigrants needed the UK?

Hehe... You seem to be conflating alot of people under my monicker.
Go back to replies when there were frequent posts 'educating' us on wrongs done by Nigerians in the UK. I did not cry racism. I illustrated that wrong can be done by all and today we have much less of those.

The level of tertiary education in the UK is today well higher that that of Nigeria. That's a fact. Very few Brits would pay 18k out of pocket for a masters degree. That is another fact. You need to take your grouse up with whoever made the 'lazy' comment as you've got me confused.

Need not want - this is my bread and butter. That was a statement the deputy head of GMC made when I came for my exam. I simply quoted this. At the time I questioned it but several years in, with each passing day I see the very truth in that.
As I have said for the umpteenth time, no immigrant is here on a diversity visa or via a lottery. As far back as the windrush arrivals, every pathway for legal immigration (aside sporadic refugees) were based on need and the British public has very publicly demanded the exit of migrants when need was met even if it came at the risk of economic self harm (cue: Brexit).
The recent post study visa review and even early marketing of it by Suella makes it clear. Every legal pathway is made open because someone convinced the government that Britain would benefit more by letting folks in than keeping them out. Guess what? I have little issue with that, always point the driver out and can give multiple instances where I have witnessed it. I am still struggling to see where 'I regularly disparage the UK'
