I m holding my horses , zahra till i see some manifestos. This dianne abbot fiasco has got me in my feelings. Also , with all the BAME ministers in government, there has never been a worse time than now to be black in the recent past. I ll be watching him to see what he's made of. Still Register to vote, people. And stand by to go about! Zahra29: |

missjekyll: Just being appointed as the first black leader of any EU country is a win and should be recognised as such. 30 years ago it would have been inconceivable. It shows growth is taking place in the midst of weeds which will always be there by the way. 6 Likes |

fatima04: It seemed the fact that I was allowed to pay £20 to attend college + the realisation that the government paid me a grant to attend university + also gave me student loans....... 🤣 Was the final tipping point...... 🤣 Venting one's anger, is a form of therapy.... Some venom been realeased..... It makes them lighter + recharge them, for another session (sometime in the future)....... 😜 If this makes them happy, I went back to university subsequently (paid full price) + never required gofundme support........ 😁 11 Likes |

Lexusgs430: Why must these people drag Nigeria into this ? “ Northumbria University said the cuts were necessary because of “a sudden reduction of the number of students” arriving in the UK from Nigeria, where the currency has collapsed against the pound.” Copied from the independent 1 Like |

wallg123: Any business model facing a 71% reduction in patronage (without strong financial backup)...... Would have to make drastic decisions to survive...... 😊 The flexible immigration policies, was the carrot and stick........ Once the carrot was removed..... People voted with their 10 fingers + 10 toes (I am aware some people have more)........ 🤣 |

Lexusgs430: I shall be there I must be there no matter what. The rules aren't even up to 6 months old yet. I wonder what things will be like by September Earlier in March, more than 120 staff at Sheffield Hallam University were served with “risk of redundancy” letters, which gave them until 18 March to take voluntary redundancy or apply for “a limited number of roles”. In February, the University of Kent proposed cutting 58 jobs along with nine courses in response to “financial challenges”. |

hustla: Sometimes it's scary to think that UK economy actually depends this much on proceeds of immigration. Is there a problem with the UK? How sustainable is this delicate equilibrium going forward? I personally don't think a country can survive on immigration proceeds alone though, there has to be a balance. In the midst of this, a committee was set up to review PSW, is this not like Tinubu calling for FDI and still increasing cost bringing in expatriate workers in the same breath? Confusion everywhere 3 Likes |

ehizario2012: The UK is like that fine, fresh boy/babe in secondary school who was the toast of everyone. He made small money from Yahoo, insulted his peers and even accused them of leeching off him and then voted to seperate from them He then got older, refused to actually grow up, does not want to change with the times, has no job and is unwilling to get one... and then continues to brag about the good old days at school reunions when his mates have all gotten married and are well to-do ... To make it even funnier, he is still very arrogant, racist, condescending and rude to those willing to help him ...all while still broke 19 Likes |

Lexusgs430: But that is after Baba is already established nah.... and the foundational support is already there for you to Enjoy and pay your tutition fully without GoFundMe compared to most Nigerian students that never had access to student loans/grants since the country was created in 1960. Therefore, we can't overlook your headstart in the UK. .... You be priviledge pikin and Mama Charly (RIP) feed you well enough |

Lexusgs430: Other industries have been going through rounds of voluntary and compulsory redundancies over the last year, slashing way more jobs than these universities are considering. Examples below. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.consultancy.uk/news/amp/35730/deloitte-to-slash-800-jobs-with-consulting-hit-hardest https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/07/pwc-defends-plans-to-cut-600-jobs-rather-than-bosses-pay https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/mar/13/metro-bank-to-cut-1000-jobs-and-end-seven-day-branch-model https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/30/sky-cut-1000-jobs-customers-move-pay-tv-internet We keep hearing about universities but the reality is that a lot of companies are struggling , and particularly those that over expanded in a post COVID boom are now adjusting to a slow down in demand. Universities are not unique in this and will have to downsize/become leaner same as other businesses. |

hustla: Lol, I already have a job as a UKVI agent/defender as an esteemed poster labelled me the other day I see why foreign students may want to rejoice at the downturn in universities' finances and catastrophise that the whole economy is at risk of collapse because they banned dependants....however the facts are that many companies in other industries are having a harder time then universities - downsizing, freezing/reducing hiring, offshoring etc- and these are the same companies that foreign students would be seeking employment from when they graduate... 8 Likes |

Zahra29: I am not rejoicing at their downfall...the route was due for review along with the care worker one as it was massively abused My own problem is how they talk down on students as if we came to scrounge without paying fees. They should tell the true story and mention how much students have also contributed to their economy Its really offensive and downright foolish to me 10 Likes |

Zahra29: Universities have decided to stage a fightback and accuse the government........😁 I would point my accusing fingers at our political class and politicians, for failing to judiciously spend Nigerian's wealth appropriately.......

Lexusgs430: Pfft....many universities got too greedy and are as much to blame. Some were so lenient in their entry criteria and checks and only started crying out when students started switching to tier 2 as soon as they landed and leaving the universities out of pocket. |
