Guys there’s chatter (seems in England only for now) about getting ready for emergencies and stocking up on supplies. It’s like the media know something we do not.

Anyone have any insight into this?

The government launched a website at the London Defence Conference on emergency planning in the event of floods, blackouts etc etc. https://prepare.campaign.gov.uk and that's what has been making the news rounds, with media houses click-baiting to make it seem more dramatic than it is. I believe the recent water contamination in Devon heightened perceptions of danger as well, because having access to clean water is one of the top recommendations in the guide. Plus, the met has released yellow warnings for thunderstorms in some parts of the country.

There's clearly an increased threat level with the geopolitical situation globally but I don't think there's anything imminent - fingers crossed I don't get proven wrong cheesy

Anyway, other countries have similar guidance published for their citizens so it seems to be par for the course.

Hmm. Thanks for shining more light on it. I heard about the water issue, how it metamorphosed into emergency planning is what confused me. My friend in SW London said some stores are emptying out in a way that is reminiscent of Covid times.

The government should either kill this narrative or you people should please keep this panic in England. We the Scottish do not want to relate smiley

Lol the Russian invasion of Ukraine obviously.A lot of European leaders have been hinting at the possibility of an Escalation into European countries.If you’ve been watching the news i’m sure you’d have caught some it.

So the English language is how they want to measure people’s level of intelligence. After studying in English and passing a course taught in English, migrants now have to go through another level of scrutiny. Bruuhhh make them cancel the visa make we rest.

I would not pay, but if Madam wants to pay, it would be coming from her account........😁😂

Good day boss. Monzo just offered me a £2000 credit card, do I accept it or reject it as I really don’t want anything to affect my credit score.

My score is currently 894 after loosing 20 points last month. Still can’t explain how Experian gave me plus 20 as all my bills are on direct debit.

I have Amex and Barclays forward CC. Should I accept this Monzo or I should leave it. Don’t want it to affect my score

MBNA, Sainsbury's, M&S & Virgin money, are very generous givers.....😂😁

Do a soft check prior to full application (so your CR just gets a kiss, not a snog)........🤣😂

Excessive credit applications, would mark one's CR(only for a little while).......

Nigerians should be happy with this new development as we have better English pedagogy than India and Pakistan. Na Chinese I pity, but I doubt they are interested in working in the UK.

What they Chinese usually do is come here and tap from western education, do a little espionage here and there then go back and develop on what they learnt.

By applying via their websites directly or using credit reference agencies portals......

They would only conduct a soft check initially, once credit application is approved, they might then conduct a hardcheck, to ascertain credit limit + applicants originality......😂

How many credit cards/accounts have you opened in the last six month ? In none you can go for it . If yes, I’d suggest to give it space before opening more accounts in your profile .

They have started re-enrolling them and restating their visas.

I understand times are hard now, but humans generally obey instructions when there are consequences. *Those that didn't have money to pay, where did they see the money after their visas were curtailed?* Did they just rush many hours of work or people pitied and gave them?

Don't pray to find yourself in such a situation.

Who's that good planner that never had his plan thwarted by some kinda circumstance at some point?. I am not trying to make excuses for them but I have seen people experience misfortune that messed up their financial plans.

Things dey happen, Bro.

Have you tried vanquis ? You could get as much as 3k then an increase to 4k after like 3 months depending on how often you use it. You can use my referral below and you get £25 extra on top

https://www.vanquis.co.uk/raf-app?code=84EB4BDA03A988AE2222

Good luck

Also note, they're very generous and you hardly get denied irrespective of your credit score.
