He's been assuring me that it's on process and it's almost 5months now yet I don't even know the status of the process. My heart sank inside its cavity the moment I typed about him extensively on Google to see this post about him after he blocked me on Facebook unjustifiably. Haven't being myself since then. I hope he delivers or he refunds me my money if he fails to. Obviously you are not serious, you gave your money to a scammer and still hoping that he will refund you? |

Qblessed: I agree! What’s the least amount you think one should have before considering a masters in the Uk?
I’m in the same shoes with this person. With around £12k in savings. Is there any possibility to squeeze things through? To start with..12K will not go anywhere near enough to study in the UK if you want peace of mind. You need to know how much your school fees is, location of your school… London or outside London. Maintenance money etc. then you will have an idea about the cost |

I have 10k out 13800k for my fees My visa fees and ihs fees is not among My question is if I pay 10k out of tuition fees Can I be able to get work to pay the rest in uk
Please l need urgent reply How about the maintenance money? Will your school allow instalment payments and for how long? You may not be able to get a job the first or second month in the UK but you have to pay rent, bills and eat during that period. Consider this before giving the school your money and end up regretting it |

Zahra29: 💯
Not just one policy, but I would advocate for a strategy overhaul including:
1. Comms Department - They need to find an effective way to SHOUT OUT their accomplishments and control the narrative. Right now, no one really knows what they have done or are doing.
2. Appoint a dynamic spokesperson/ spin doctor (remember Alastair Campbell?) who is media savvy, has lots of political experience/ nous and can connect with the masses.
3. Find some quick wins to address the key issues that people are most concerned about. Polls show that the 2 most critical issues affecting even Labour supporters are:
- Immigration: Start delivering effective, easy/quick measures to reduce boat crossings and net migration.
The media is already shouting that 1000 asylum seekers arrived by boat yesterday, the 1st day of Shabana's job as Home Sec. Labour is due to announce that they will rehouse asylum seekers into military sites/army barracks and close dozens of asylum hotels earlier than planned.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/07/military-sites-house-asylum-seekers-labour
This is another U-turn for Labour as they were against the idea last year, but if they implement it successfully it will stave off Reform's attack lines and help quell people's anger at the perception that asylum seekers are hopping off a boat and into all inclusive 3* hotels, while a growing number of British citizens are homeless or living in rundown hostels.
- Economy, including taxes: I know it is not easy but Reeves desperately needs to find a way in the Autumn Budget to take the pressure off the middle class. Tackle welfare reform - fairly and compassionately - but those who can work should be firmly supported back into work, while there should be incentives to encourage working people and foster the message that work pays.
They need to find ways to boost growth and productivity, but at the same time be brave enough to go after big corporations (see EUs actions on this) and the very wealthy e.g. non doms who are not paying their fair share of tax.
The above will give Labour some breathing room while they advance other policy areas. Reading these points you outlined is like reading opposition party manifesto, they sounds good but almost impossible to implement as a ruling party. Implementing all you listed above may not save labour because majority of British public are listening to Farage's immigration rant at the moment just like in America. |

Goke7: In a country where so much depends on welfare this is almost impossible! The backlash no government can cope with. The waters has been tested already and the outcome has never been pleasant. Tax rises will surely continue to accommodate welfare payments. This is the biggest prob here, Universal credit pays better than many 9-5 jobs, recently i get to know from a friend about what he called medical benefit, he claims it and still work full time. No govt dare touch the benefit system and survive the next GE. |

Zahra29: This I completely agree with.
The real mystery is how Labour can have a 150 seat majority - the largest since Blair - and just 1 year from the GE, they are trailing behind Reform, a fringe party, in the polls. It's bananas and completely unprecedented.
Like I said earlier, there's still time and hope, but Labour really need to get their act together fast - they won't really be able to blame anyone else but themselves if they lose the next GE. What will be your advice to Labour if they are reading your post right now? I mean a policy that if implemented will be a game changer? |

jedisco: Always said I want Reform to win- some lessons need to be learned twice. Farage would likely go out of his way to be brutal mainly by limiting settlement pathways but wouldn't be surprised immigration actually rises under a Reform government just like it did with B.Jo. When the rioting scroungers today get their benefits cut under Reform, their tune will change.
Its quite interesting whenever I hear far-right protesters speak. Within seconds, the tone rings familiar- I know this cohort like the back of my hand. Reminds me during the last riot when Nigerian folks in my community were scared. Na me dey ginja dem to forget that cohort. Na my customers.
Eitherway, it's likely that Labour in a bid to stave off Reform will do everything to cut legal migration futher creating a drag on the economy. Reform might come in and do some performance politics while ultimately increasing migration. Economics no get bias. One thing I've always asked- would those protesting today have an issue if we double the number of migrants but remove the right to settlement i.e create a servile class? Farage is not really against immigration per say. he is against poor immigrants from certain part of the world just like Trump. Farage get paid 40K by an organisation called Nomad Capitalist , a company that helps the super rich move to other countries in order to reduce their tax bills. Yes you are right Labour will be punished into making some knee jerk decisions so as to turn the table on Reform and aunty Kemi. |

Goke7: Well said, the Latinos in particular were the ones who made Trump win and funny enough they are the ones bearing the brunt now with the mass deportation spree. 😂 Despite Trump and his gang raining racial abuses on them during the campaign they thought they were being smart in avoiding another black president. Now some republican states are redistricting their congressional maps to ensure Latino votes are more suppressed for future elections.
The so called proponents of freedom of speech are always the most intolerant people you can ever find anywhere on this earth. Their own speech is what they protect not others. Oh man!! i enjoy watching clips of them crying their eyes out as their love ones are taken away by ICE, i also go out of my way to search for clips of white farmers moaning about how their businesses are closing down as the immigrant farm workers are all gone, some selling off their farm equipment to pay off loans. Then you hear things like this from them....i voted for Trump but..., i voted for Trump because i thought he was going to .... |

Zahra29: What the Dems did wrong was to focus almost entirely on attacking Trump's character, instead of addressing the real issues people were angry/worried about such as the economy and the Mexican border. They failed to bring forward reasonable policies or answer the valid question of what Kamala would do differently to solve the issues, given she had already been VP for 4 years.
I know Femi Oluwole and I supported him during his very vocal campaigning during Brexit. The point I was making is that people are being drawn to Reform not only because of the small boats issue - people are also frustrated about e.g. high taxes (more tax rises coming in November) without seeing where their money is going, they feel like nothing is working, no growth, minimal productivity....and while this isn't Labour's fault as they inherited the rot in the system, - however they promised CHANGE! - and 14 months later, people are struggling to see any Labour improvements.
For example the recent 30 hr childcare expansion is very positive and will be a big help for working families, but this was a Tory policy!! Would Starmer's Labour have introduced this policy on their own? I don't think so.
If they don't stop tinkering and actually start delivering bold, impactful changes (quick wins at least, not everything has to wait till 2028) then people will look for an alternative - whether that is Reform, Libdems or Greens/Your Party. Totally not true, Kamala did many times, she was the only one with actual policy and was able to explain them, Trump did not present any policy apart from immigration, there was nothing on economy or foreign policy. Even as Republican controls the two houses Bidden was able to pass a major legislation called American Rescue Plan. Reform has taken a page from Trump's play book and trying desperately to implement it here in the UK and many British public are buying it. Remember Lucy connolly? Yes she is now a Reform party member immediately after coming out of prison. she called for “mass deportation now”, adding: “Set fire to all the f***ing hotels full of the b*****s for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.
and now she is welcome to Reform political party. |

Zahra29: It's beyond the boats issue though.
The one gimmick Farage is very good at, like Trump, is recognising, giving voice to and exploiting the grievances of the silent majority. Farage knows that people are angry about issues such as immigration, stealth tax rises squeezing the middle class, crime levels e.g. shoplifting, overflowing prisons, lack of housing, "two tier" justice, "wokeism", loss of freedom of speech, public services etc etc
Blair was also very good at connecting with the people and addressing their concerns, but unfortunately thus far, this Labour seems out of touch with all sides and that's why they are bleeding support - they don't appear to be pleasing anyone.
There's still time and hope to stave off Reform, but Labour needs to learn from the mistake of the Democrats - stop playing ad hominem, come out of your echo chamber and start delivering TANGIBLE policies that will improve lives. People want to see real change, not more long-dated promises. Labour or the Democratic did not wrong, Americans listened to a convicted criminal lie to them repeatedly, they hated the fact that a woman from the ethnic minority was about to make a history by becoming a president of the united state of America. They voted with their racist mind and now the results are out. The UK will learn the same lesson pretty soon when they make the same mistake. Farage has no right to fight for freedom of speech.. ask Femi a Nigerian journalist based here and he will tell you more. He was banned from all Reform events , sometime at the last minute even as he has press credentials to attend the event. Housing problems got nothing to do with immigrants, white British shoplift far more than immigrants. We will all be alive to witness the damage Reform will do to this country. |

Goke7: The problem with the uk is that so many of their citizens too live in many countries and there is a limit to how far they can go in suppressing foreigners for example the echr also protects Brits living in European countries, the uk also live off so much goodwill from so many countries so suspending foreign aids totally is not that simple. Even America that’s the largest economy is already beginning to catch cold with the collaboration among India, Russia and China going by Trump statements lately so who is Uk to go all the way, hmmm e go hard o! no be cho cho cho! You are thinking ahead reasonably but these politicians have a brain of a fingernail, Farage wants to be in no 10 desperately, so he will continue saying all sorts nonsense to get there. He doesn’t care what happens afterwards. |

LionInZion: Exactly! It is almost inevitable at this point. Though sadly it will cause a lot of damage, it is necessary for those populists to have a brain reset. It is a case of things first going awry, just so necessary lessons are learnt before they finally get back to normal. Something need to happen before this country learn a very valuable lesson about immigration and politicians using their citizens as pawns. Reform will bring us to that realisation. It will also be a test of legal system in this country. |

Goke7: It’s a foretaste of what is still in the offing when Reform gets into Downing Street though the blow back will eventually regulate it. The current template in the US is what has actually emboldened every thing, will be interesting to see how the midterms elections go next year to see whether things can still go in the reverse if not then we are in it finally for the long ride. Cynical part of me wants Reform to win the next GE and start deporting illegal immigrants and stop the boat, close all asylum centres and stop all foreign aids What is happening in America right now will be nothing compare to what this country will experience, demonstrations and unrest will be a daily thing, many work-shy and benefit scroungers will have nothing else to moan about. This need to happen before this country wake up to the danger of Reform political party. |

maasoap: To say the truth, when I saw VDM post on this issue concerning the hospital balance to be paid which Edo government volunteered to pay, the issue of discrepancy between the amount mentioned initially and the final amount that was later sent to Edo government officials by the hospital. I was convinced straight away that this guy VDM and the Edo state government rep were just being petty. Even despite the fact that the allegation came directly from VDM, I was sure of them being petty for alleging that the deceased sister and the hospital management were trying to dubiously increase the amount and fleece the government in the process.
And he ended up messing things up, alleging that the sister to the victim and the hospital are fraud You are mixing things up here, the girl in the hospital is still alive, so I don’t know why you are talking about deceased sister and hospital bills are. VDM did not make any false allegations, he stated things as it’s, the girl’s mother and the hospital has a lot of explanations to make as the Edo state government is now investigating that bill. The doctor is alleging that the girl’s mother registered the daughter under an issuance policy which is not eligible to hence the initial low bill, it was when they found out about the issuance issue that the bill was increased. So I don’t know which video you watched to draw your conclusion that VDM messed up the whole thing. |
