Agreed, a mental health assessment should have been carried out which might have mitigated or cancelled his sentence.

I wonder if perhaps they felt that if he was well enough to attend his classes, then he should have had sufficient mental capacity to understand the implications of the threats he was making.

Or perhaps they just decided to take the quicker and cheaper route.

£31.99 + three months free is a decent deal.

I paid £40 (no free month) for one year and now paying £35.

That is my impression here, if that guy was mentally ok and really wanted to bomb the school i don't think he will send a threat first openly before carrying it out. Yes his threat looks dangerous and should be taken seriously but i have never seen or read about a terrorist who alerted his potential victim first before carrying out the act.

I hope everyone is seeing how Revolut is trending on Twitter. They blocked someone's account with his school fees in it. 10K euros, according to him

Always leave your savings in banks that have physical addresses, like Barclays and the like, to avoid stories that touch the body and soul


Also, it seems the UK is going really broke with the way they are looking to cut benefits, as in the autumn statement. It's almost as if the current gov is clueless as to how to generate money or manage the one they have.

They have also started the usual immigrant blame game and moaning, per usual

Seems I will look deeply at japa inside japa next year

Zahra29:


They're talking about cutting benefits (again - benefits has been one of the top issues since Tories got into power 13 years ago) in an attempt to force some of the economically inactive back into work.

In the autumn statement yesterday, Hunt increased benefits and also cut taxes (national insurance) so it's not about lack of money, but rather the perception that many of those not working are too comfortable on their benefits.

Good advice but one that would be more effective if it was given at source - advising student applicants to keep and use their POF for what it's intended for. If they had the maintenance funds and fees they presented in their visa applications, then they might not need to work so hard - just the 20 hours stipulated in the immigration rules - and would hopefully avoid the extreme stress that is bound to arise from working to pay off fees and other debt while studying.
Justwise and others have preached this for ages but are often ignored.

Good evening everyone
I am currently in the uk working for bank as a financial crime investigator, although I am still on my probation stage.i was suspended for gross misconduct(legitimacy of reference(uk)) I provided for them during my background checks,initially this check came back successful but months into my employment ,I was suspended for the reason above.after fact finding meetings I had with my manger,my case was moved to disciplinary hearing. I am confused as to what to do ,should I resign with immediate effect which I have read that the company can sue for breach of contract as I have a week’s notice or should I go for the hearing and defend myself.
Note:their concerns is for the reference I provided with a company I did bootcamp and voluntary opportunity with. I actually worked on cases with this company with the duration I put in my cv.
Please house help me with advice

The issue of car part being expensive might be true but I’m not convinced with the fact that one particular maker being expensive compare to another, the rule of thumb is that those mechanic still charges the same amount per hour irrespective of the car make, my mechanic do allow me to source parts online and he still charge almost same amount for the car, not much difference in my pay when I changed from mazda to Mercedes,

Most important is to buy a car that won’t be giving you much problems, start from the mot history of the car, age, mileage, reason for selling, how May previous users, how long mot was last done etc,

Come to talk of it, if not for the cost of repair that is way too expensive, we don’t normally think of all this back in Nigeria because the cost of repair is very cheap, repaired just a common mazda Alternator for 250£ (less than 30k before I left Nigeria (mistakenly put wrong fuel in the car also cost me around 120£ ) etc, wanted to get mot done cost me almost 1,200£ to fix the car ( car that still works fine, but must repair cos of mot), happy that the car is off road now self cos of accident, really cost me a lot then

Update on this issue
Today the landlady worked into my room and was like today your leaving my house and was trying to move my stuffs outside..
Immediately I picked up the phone and called the police, she started to denying that she's not throwing me out of the house..
Now what happened is that she came with her kids and trying to claim that this is her house and I have contacted the Council housing department already about her visits but I would like to know if there is any legal way I can deal with this please.

This woman thinks that I meant be scared or I don't know the law in UK, which is the reason she has been doing all this..
I can tell you that all the other tenants who has lived in this house have issues with her and that's why they leave.. including the ones that moved out from my room before I move in.. everyone 100% has issues with her and she always treating to remove their door but never did because she's also scared of what they will do to her..but in my case, she things I can't do anything because am quiet guy.
4 months ago he made new tenant who just came to the UK to go out midnight at 1AM to pay house because the person told her he has it in cash and will send it to her tomorrow when he go to bank, but this woman insisted that he must pay the money that night otherwise she will come and remove he's door...

He has always treating to remove tenant doors but never went ahead to do it until now,she did it to me..

Please I would like to know how I can take this case to court, getting lawyers and anyway I can deal with her for all the abuse and harassment.

FBMP is littered with scammers........

Autotrader would be your best hunting ground........ Ensure you conduct all online checks, prior to purchasing any vehicle.......

If you have a credit card, use it to buy the car or simply pay a deposit over £100.01......

And lastly, I prefer Japanese vehicles...... Parts are usually available on Ebay or motor factor outlets.......

NB: Don't pay a deposit on a vehicle, unless you're 101% certain........

True that. This Naija landlords are frustrating most times placing all sorts of rules and regulations.

Base on how things are presently and because he fails to pay his as at when due, i advise he pays the rent and move out.

Hi friends.
Naturally I'm someone who believes in hard work and stretching one's self to the limit to get things done.
However, I think some of our people coming into the UK recently need to slow down a little!
Too many sudden deaths recently, three that I am aware of.
One student slumped last week in Scotland, he was doing two jobs plus make shift kabu kabu. Another just placed his head on a table for a short nap and never woke up, he was doing nights in a warehouse and support work on day shifts. The third slumped on a shop floor in a warehouse...
The bills can wait please, everybody has a limit. All these run run is taking it's toll on the body, built up stress can be deadly!

Goke7:


Let’s just guess it was frustration and pressure of school that led him to this but with all the rhetoric these days of net migration any loophole will be taken advantage of. Reason we admonish people to be careful, it’s a free democratic society but with lots of unwritten caveats especially for folks on a visa.

Which airline?

Which month is that please? All I can see is 30,000 plus £50 for one way.

I did not read anywhere they mentioned any item found on him after his arrest. Explosive making material, Video of him glorifying such act. Previous history of such crime, group affiliation, even his name alone will make them question if that guy is in his right senses of mind

Just doesn’t feel right

Zahra29:


Fair enough.

Seemed unlikely to me that the lady who revealed that she had met a wealthy European who wanted to pay off her tuition fees, and she wanted to go away with on a weekend trip with him (within a year or less after arriving the UK) would be in a genuine, subsisting relationship with her spouse or long term partner.

But I suppose stranger things have happened, especially when considered that sham dependent arrangements are vanishingly rare.

Regarding profiling. The issue is that you don't understand the import of your statement. Flip your statement on any other group, say it in public and you're toast.

That Mrs A was convicted and happens to be a Scottish, Nigerian, Muslim, Black e.t.c does not mean that every Scottish or Muslim person should go for mental evaluation and reorientation before they're allowed into 'advanced England'

There are hundreds of thousands of Nigerians in the UK going about their business many of whom are doing well. Why not constantly remind us of their success?
If your goal is really to warn us about crime and not dehumanize, then the there are hundreds of convictions occuring daily in the UK which you could post. A story of a convicted Welsh or Pakistani man should equally send same message.

These things add up and soon become systemic with two examples below.

Well I will concede that the UK is almost in danger of almost heading into almost broke territory lol - if it doesn't course correct soon. For example the tax giveaways would be better off being redirected towards plugging the funding gaps in the public sector.
