PtBlank: The penalty was issued before you paid for parking so the full penalty fine subsists. It will be wise to pay the £35 balance before it escalates further. |

hustla: Tough job it is moreso parts like dom care and the working conditions in todays Britain is akin to slavery. Always known the pay was minimum wage level. Recently, I got to know that Dom care workers are not paid for the time in transit. So you do a 12hr shift running aroud peoples houses (pets, dirt e.t.c) and only be paid for 8 hrs. Worse still, the clients/relatives many times are very entitled folks and offer a trail of insults. These carers are expected to remain calm and stomach these insults. Meanwhile someone stacking shelves in Aldi makes much more. 3 Likes |

Taal17: It's a role masters students alone cannot fill first cos the numbers needed are massive, then there is the 20hr work limit. Also, students are limited to jobs around uni towns and many counties dont have a uni. Students also come in waves but care roles need a steady supply of huge labour and lastly, turnover from masters students are much higher as many see it as a temporary option Not just public funds, but EU folks had room to apply for other jobs hence many did care as an adjunct. They then didn't shoulder the visa and ilr fee which is now used to give higher earning workers a 6% wage rise. Many immigrant carers would be constrained to a life of poverty, unable to build up reasonable savings for retirement, only being able to afford run down areas with higher crime and bad schools. All that invariably affects attainment of their offspring. Many times being used like wood to keep the fire burning and room warm for others. In the end, they'd get the passport and if they've not very driven folks they'd end on the states list for benefits. Regarding quality, for many, it'd always be seen a survival or temporary option with little entry barrier. Not a life vocation and would not be one you'd get many A-level kids aspiring to. In the end, its care and should not affect quality if the staff get the needed orientation. 1 Like |

giselle237: My comment was based on my previous experience. You don’t put it in the initial application, but there is a chance the case worker working on the kids application will send you an email asking for the passport or evidence you’ve started processing it. I filled the Nigerian passport application form online, booked an appointment and sent them screenshots of both and it was resolved. 1 Like |

hustla: There's some lobby towards that, but in the current climate I doubt. Hunt no send more legal immigration. The funny thing is that though the current party ran on the mantra of 'controlling our borders' but by chasing their tail, they've ended up bringing about the most liberal UK immigration in decades. |

jedisco: Slavery? This is actually an insult to those who suffered and died during slavery. Slaves got no freedom or choice. They did not get paid for working in plantation or serving their masters or forced to work. Care work is a difficult job and under paid but liking it to slavery is far too hash . 9 Likes |

Iolo:not for kids pls. This is clearly stated on the www.gov.uk website. No child born in the UK who is a dependent child would be asked for Nigerian passport inorder to apply for a visa. Adult- maybe. Child = capital NO. This is not true as they are permitted to apply for leave to REMAIN with the UK birth certificate alone. 1 Like |

justwise: I chose the words carefully- modern Britain, akin to slavery... Many of the terms we have today- child abuse, sexual exploitation, gender discrimination have a much different definition to what they had 200yrs ago. For someone local, who has a gamut of options, and knows the means to seek redress, care roles are another option. For some sponsored immigrant, many of whom paid several sums (yes I know not right) and have to stick with unreasonable constraints and an overhead tax, it is quite akin to slavish conditions. Sadly, their country may not offer them much better but after years of undergoing such here, they'd have an understanding. Consent doesn't rule it out. That a person consents to being trafficked for sex or consents to polygamy or donating their organs for money or slavish conditions doesn't mean they are not victims 1 Like |

Mornings Guys, Please this might sound like a silly question. Kindly what can some that studied Master's in Public Health here apply for under NHS, roles named or with names like public health are not so common. I know it's all dependent on the individual also, however with all of the things I have read here, it won't be nice for one to limit one's self to Care jobs alone. I understand experience in it (social care/HCA) might/should count as a valid experience also. Suggestions will be highly appreciated also sponsorship too is key. |

Hi Guys, Please i am trying to apply for my first provisional driving license. Been in the UK for 13months. On the application site, after i input my passport number and Nationality, i get the below response. I then continue the process on the "old online service" which is the DVLA site, but same thing still repeats itself. Please what am i doing wrong? I have also used my BRP as means of identification but keep getting the same issue.

giselle237: This shouldn’t be an argument. Have you had kids in the UK and gone through the process yourself or speaking from what you’re seeing on the Gov UK website which the caseworkers sometimes don’t follow verbatim. Again like I said earlier, it shouldn’t be the case but they sometimes do which I experienced with my kids hence my advise to the OP. You saying it’s not true is an interesting position to take. 3 Likes |

jedisco:you are on point by saying you chose your words carefully, and justwise is just arguing for argument sake...as usual 😁 To tie it all in, it is a slavery by choice.... however there is the silver lining which is that the living wage that isn't 'living' in the UK,comes alive when a few of those GBP rish zanga for here. So, expectedly more will keep signing up for this slavery with plenty naira and abeg😁 5 Likes

giselle237: Thanks to everyone who has replied so far, one more question please. I didn't have to visit the UKVI centre for my biometrics when I renewed my visa last year and a couple of people I know as well used same app this year and recently as well. However, for the kids there was no option of using online biometrics app, is this the norm? Do kids have to travel for visa biometrics within the UK? |

hustla: Quite a number of them on reddit. Came across this recently https://reddit.com/r/Britain/s/cc56sNZo4F Some niche ones like a tree surgeon, some obvious ones Train driver/conductor, HGV driver, trades person e.t.c. Also alot of money in mental health trusts and they have some support/HCA kind roles that pay much better and with significantly less stress than similar roles in the open care market or acute trusts. Reminds me of a teenage tennis tutor I used to pay £20 ph to teach me... upon that, to get appointment was stress. I go dey play n0nsense and the guy would be saying you're doing well.. before long, an hour is gone.. next person waiting. Was getting frustrated but then started to enjoy it. Bright chap though. |
