Trendytessy: Pls I need advise on steps to take. When I moved to the Uk, I couldn’t find a house. There was a guy who said he had an air bnb to let for a short while and I paid him for the flat for the week I was meant to stay. Unable to find an house for my family, we spoke with him to let us stay pending we get suitable accommodation. He said he will speak to the landlord and get back to us. He did speak to the “landlord” and we started paying monthly for the room. It was a 2bed flat and we stayed in a room, another couple stayed in the other. We were all paying monthly. For proof of address, he said the landlord agreed to put my name on the electric bill as it’s prepaid but the landlord pays the council tax and water bill. Now I left the room since September 2023, I got home now and I saw a final notice letter for unpaid council tax from May 2023-September 2024.
How do I rectify this? I’m thinking of calling the council to let them know I didn’t register for council tax and it was done fraudulently cos I remember this guy did ask for my term letter but when I asked what for he didn’t say the reason. I’m suspecting he registered my details but didn’t put my phone number or email so I wouldn’t know. I’ve received no notifications of any sort. This letter came to my new address in England and this whole situation happened in Swansea.
You need to do that fast, i think you should visit the council and explain this to them and get the record off your profile
: You are one of the evil people giving us bad names. Your visa is for business/tourism! stick to it! If you need something else, apply legitimately from Nigeria.This is uncalled for.
Santa2: Its incredible how Tesla can go from one of the best companies to invest in to the state it is now in just a few weeks. Elon's actions and timing is very bad because even in his own words before his recent alignment, he was already facing fierce competition from the Chinese EV car makers (BYD, Li autos, Zeekr, Changan etc) that he dismissed a few years before. Have you seen the state of the EVs from China, they are extremely innovative, with loaded features for half the cost of EVs from the west. China's gone from a copy cat manufacturing state 20 years ago to making and leading innovative strides in AI, robotics and EV. Its amazing how D Trump is just making the case for China's rise, alienating America's goodwill with its allies (Canada, EU) and pushing them East. The next four years are going to be very interesting.
Can you point out any brand or individual that remains valuable after getting entangled with Trump? Look at Rudy Giuliani and many others that went along with Trump nonsense the last time he was in power, Fox News paid heavily for lying for Trump.
Many individuals who associated with that buffoon have suffered massively. Elon's will not be any difference, he will still get his govt contracts and recover his money but his image and brand may not recover from this. A lot of lawsuits are loading for him when Trump leaves office.
Cyberknight: Well said. I think US tariffs are coming for Chinese EVs too - they are heavily subsidised by the Chinese government, which is why they are able to incorporate so many features at an affordable price.
..and guest what? The Chinese govt will hit back and Tesla factor in China will get it..
jedisco: Hehe.. The stress of keeping up with individual st0cks no be here- high risk high reward though. Reason I go index- even those have dropped but not to a level that'd keep me awake
How much lower are you waiting for it to drop? Granted America is overpriced but its more than halved in price
...maybe half of the current value, anything Elon or Trump touches now dies. Tesla as a brand is dented at the moment. As long as he keeps hanging around with Trump he will keep going down in value.
Goke7: It’s affecting everyone o especially retirement savings. Who will get hold of this mental health patient? ain’t funny anymore
Yes nobody is left out but Americans will feel the pain more, he is even getting started, nobody in his administration can talk him out of anything because they are all puppies.
I don’t feel sorry for Americans, they got what they deserved. Musk is crying asking dad Trump to help sell few cars because his net worth is dropping rapidly daily.
I’m waiting for real drop on Tesla shares so as to buy even more
Zahra29: For the child who has lived 7 years continuously in the UK, she can apply for ILR based on his/her private life. As part of the application she would need to prove that it is unreasonable to expect the child to leave the UK, but this shouldn't be difficult especially as the mother is now permanently domiciled in the UK as a citizen. After 12 months on ILR, she can then apply for citizenship for the child.
The other child is not eligible to apply for status from within the UK as they weren't born in the UK and have lived here for less than the qualifying 7 year period. Options are:
a) wait till the child clocks 7 years residence in the UK and then apply for ILR ( IF the child is still under 18 at this time); otherwise they would need to wait until they have spent half their life in the UK (and are under 25 years old)
b) apply from outside the UK, and if granted the child will should be given ILR
The lady is advised to use a competent lawyer to make the applications so as to get it right first time.
@KOVIC19COVID20, Zahra29 is right and the good thing about this case is that these kids are under 18 and you are a British citizen,
Goodenoch: On the subject of Vance shading the UK? According to our resident mealy-mouthed defender of western civilization, he actually did not;
“Kemi Badenoch defends JD Vance over ‘random country’ comments
Speaking to GB News, Badenoch said: “I know JD Vance quite well. I’ve looked at the comments, I don’t think he actually said that! A lot of people are getting carried away. They’re saying loads of things and getting quite animated let’s keep cool heads.
“America is our closest ally and I believe that President Trump and JD Vance want peace, they’re looking after their national interests, we need to do so as well.”
When Badenoch was asked if she therefore believed Vance had been referring to France instead of the United Kingdom, she responded: “I’m not getting into that speculation.” “
Looks like Badenough is only a warrior capable of talking straight when it comes to care workers, and she’s always definitive about their plans, culture, morals etc etc. When it comes to others she becomes afraid of getting into speculation.
She has to say something, just like Vance she is trying desperately to make sense each she opens her mouth
Tolezy001: Hello everyone, sorry for the long write up. I’m in a tough situation and would really appreciate your thoughts.
I’m 25 years old, and ever since I got an unconditional admission offer my father has been determined to sell his only house to fund my travel to the UK. Despite my repeated attempts to convince him otherwise, he insists that this is the best way to secure my future. While I deeply appreciate his sacrifice and belief in me, I can’t help but worry about the risks.
Selling his only home means he will have nowhere to fall back on if things don’t go as planned. And as much as I want to explore better opportunities abroad, I don’t want to see him struggle or regret this decision later.
What would you do in my situation? Do you think this sacrifice is worth it? I’d love to hear different perspectives, especially from those who have been in a similar position or understand the realities of starting over in a new country.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
1. How old is your dad?
2. Is your dad working or running his own business?
jedisco: Hehe.. Lets take emotions out of this. Ukraine needs the U.S.
It was already clear Z wasn't in Trumps good books. He knew that. No world leader today comes close to Trumps media mastery. Z whose first language isn't English was meeting the American president at the height of his powers surrounded by his lap dogs in the White House. The last thing he needed was getting into a senseless public debate. It was callous. It's like a foreign leader debating the British PM in parliament- what do you expect?
Already, Macron and Starmer had gone before him to smoothen the way. Negotiations had already been made and it was reported all that was left was a signature. The security guarantee or not would have been part of the agreement. If it wasn't there already, a public spat with Trump would not put it in.
Z can disagree with Trump without being antagonistic. Look at when Starmer visited and Vance went on a rant about 'free speech' concerns and how it was hurting American interests. Starmer went diagonal and countered him without any fuss. Lastly, if the first encounter was difficult to watch, I wouldn't be so keen on another- it might just be a victory parade of an emasculated Z.
It wasn't and that is the prob, all the outburst that played out was because they did not get their way behind closed down.
I disagree with you regarding his attitude , he did nothing wrong, Trump and his VP were pissed because they failed to force him to give away that mineral without getting anything in return.
wallg123: What's really going on in Aviation these days ? Almost every week there is a new incident / accident or near miss around the world but especially in the USA. A few hours ago a FedEx cargo plan made an emergency landing as the engine was on fire ... Are these just random or is there something cynical at play ?
Greyworld: Instead of Ukraine to accept Trump's deal they should broker a deal with Russia themselves. After all they are closely related. Adding US to the equation with Trump and Vance as US leaders is not sensible at the moment.
Russia does not want deal or peace, they want to take over Ukraine. Zelenskyy want security from USA in exchange for minerals
kingthreat: Well he was embarrassed for that. His reply was not intelligent either. It's time for peace, America is not funding the war any further. Let him dress in Ukranian attire or a suit. Not a funny-looking urban wear.
I ask you again.. why was he not embarrassed that Elon musk shows up in Oval Office wearing t-shirts, jeans and cap? Why did rule apply to Zelenskyy only?
While many of you are shamelessly worrying about suits he is worried about his people getting killed daily
kingthreat: Perhaps justwise is wiser than the person who had to ask the question below.. Clown believes he is the wisest in a self-opinionated world of his own. Elon Musk is a tech person and wears a suit even if he has to wear a t-shirt. Please on your next visit to a VIP, wear a singlet and short knickers.
The person that asked the question is a well known slowpoke(Brian Glenn) married to another nuisance called Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Since the war started Zelensky has always dress like that, in all his official appearances both home and abroad. Wearing a suit is the lease of his problems. Trump got no prob with that but some nobodies are falling all over themselves asking so irrelevant questions
kingthreat: The conversation here is about Zelensky. You can refer to the topic's title incase you have drifted.
So you are incapable of supporting your argument with a relevant example? How is Musk dressing not relevant to this topic? The same oval office, the same Trump and official event?
So in your limited single cell,,dressing rule only applies to Zelensky?
kingthreat: Mr. Justwise, if it is right to dress unofficially to official discussions, then maybe you should create another username on this forum.
Mr kingthreat did many of you complain when Elon Musk shows up in a Tshirt, jeans and a cap in the same white house during press conference with Trump?
