makazona: A provisional is a temporary, learner's license so it would incur a higher premium due to a higher risk factor. A higher premium also typically applies to a foreign license. Best move would be to get a full UK license. However if you want to drive on your foreign license, try using a comparison engine like https://www.confused.com/campaign/car-insurance/car-insurance-quotes? to search the market for you. Alternatively if you already have home insurance, check if your provider offers discounts/bundle deals for additional policies. 1 Like |

Zahra29: This is classic whataboutism. The issue of discuss here is an article exemplifying how some sections of the British media use certain innuendos to spur up hate against immigrant groups. The general issue of human discrimination can always be discussed INB and not dragged in to cast a shadow on this specific issue. 6 Likes |

hustla: It'd take a while for whatever is going on in that sector to settle. This is an election year and the anti-imigrant narrative is the lowest hanging fruit for the Tories and they've thrown everything at it. They should see the tightening through to the election at least. OTOH, the universities are strong at lobbying and would push thru facts moreso with their cash cow (i.e international students) being muzzled while fees for local students have been capped since 2016. Interestingly 'international students account for one in every five pounds in income received by UK universities'. 3 Likes 1 Share

jedisco: Erm the bolded is a bit hyperbolic isn't it ? For starters, unless the nurse was not born in Nigeria, it is a statement of fact. Secondly this fact wasn't emblazoned in their headline, accompanied by any derogation, it was simply mentioned in the middle of the article. Call it whatabboutery, but would the same outrage apply if a Nigerian publication mentioned the hometown of an individual in their report e.g. "Edo native".....or are they incapable of "spurring up hate" among different ethnic groups? |

jedisco: The dependant ban will not be lifted anytime soon. More prestigious/higher ranked universities might be influential enough to lobby some type of exemption, but the average to lower ranked universities will have to find alternative ways to attract international students without their dependants, because for every pound an international student might contribute, the state has estimated that 80% of dependants do not work and are a net beneficiary of the state. |

hustla: Then people would complain that the home office is splitting families ,discriminating against young families etc You can't please everyone unless they throw open the borders and let everyone in, and even then the immigrants would complain that everywhere is so congested, London is worse than Lagos, no school or hospital places etc lol 3 Likes |

Lexusgs430:The loan provider will then charge 1.5% interest per day on the loan. Na why it's difficult to invest loan money except in business because returns on investment is usually lower than interest rate. |

Hello elders, must I book for biometrics appointment at a TLS before I can be able to self upload the required documents? It is taking me directly to TLS bookings anytime I click on 'provide documents and biometrics'. I'm applying for my dependants from Nigeria. |

celi4ever2k5: Use both the provisional and Nigerian license to your advantage. Use the below hack. In your case, first use the provisional, wait like a month (don't drive or get an accompanying driver) then update your details. In my case, I updated from provisional to full UK after 4 months and my price remained the same, I only paid Β£73 update fee. Viruses: 3 Likes 4 Shares |

jedisco: Beyond universities funding. It will likely strain the nhs as students are massive net contributors and were helping to fill many low skilled job vacancies without recourse to any sort of public funding. Am very sure they offered many economic benefits that were overlooked and underappreciated. I strongly suspect students sharp slowdown is one of the reasons why the country went into a recession and inflation stopped falling. Also, the government doesnt also have the projected funds to offer any significant tax cuts or fund any expansive infrastructure. the government though decided to blamed children not turning in school for the recession. 3 Likes

Resurgent2016: Completely agree with the bolded. I suspect also that the sharp drop in student numbers may be why we experienced a very mild winter this year, and is very probably the reason why Iceland has drastically reduced the amount of chicken in their chicken thighs pack. 3 Likes |

Zahra29: I suspect that's why my car insurance provider is increasing my premium at renewal. All this while, I was waiting and hoping premium will go down at renewal. Sad because after using comparison sites, the increased renewal premium was still the cheapest. |

Zahra29: My first post adressed this: 'It's not about whether those statements are true or false but what they dubiously set out to achieve'. That's why its called microagrression. It's hardly ever in your face but mainly in incidents and patterns that leave you wondering if you'd have been treated differently if you were white. Another example is captured below. Zahra29: It's for them to decide (likely post-election). If its another knee jerk reaction, it'd be back to chasing tails after a few years. Someone needs to sit and make forward thinking and realistic plans. BTW, mind sharing your source for the bolded claim? It's largely at variance to what I see around me.
