Fraih:20hours is 53.3% of 37.5. So it's 0.533FTE. Which is basically 0.533×24,500 =13,058.5 |

Hi guys, I don't know if some of you still remember my issue with my Landlord that pull my room door off and also change the keys to enter the house on November last year. Well the woman is still withholding my properties since then o.. After she changed the house keys, I couldn't get into the house so I have to look for any accommodation I can find as soon as possible and thankfully for me I found one which I quickly took and have been staying there since then. The woman do not only change the keys but instead she went ahead and block me from calling her both on WhatsApp and direct calls.. Going to a year now I have been managing myself as much as I can.. The council referred me to an agency that can help me to take legal actions against the landlord but since then nothing have been done , though 3 months ago he wrote me to come and sign the statement which I did but till now nothing.. Though when I went to sign the documents they ask me if she has release my properties I told him NO, and he sent me a link I can use to contact *justice for tenants * which I have already contacted them and they wrote to the council to get details of the house to know if the landlord got HMO licence, still haven't had anything from them yet for a month now..(they said the landlord will pay me 1 year of the rent I paid if she has no HMO licence) Am just wondering if there are any other way I might be able to get help as soon as possible, She's holding my deposit, also my properties plus forcefully evicted me from the property, not to mention all the harassment and mental stress I went through in the hand of this yoruba woman witch... |

Lex2023:Legal Prosecution in this country is 10X slower than the A&E NHS You just have to be patience. The most important thing is to get justice at last and all these points plus long wait would be considered when dealing with her if found guilty. |

Estroller:I think your people mishandled this matter and their relationship with their landlord. A tenant doesn't have the right to demand a periodic tenancy; it's a request you make from your landlord, who or may or may not decide to grant it. Some landlords are happy to do so, so that they can evict the tenant at any time and possibly increase rent or sell, while others want the security of knowing they have income coming in for a fixed period. They should consult a lawyer if they havent already (all we recently immigrated immigrants should write this in gold and hang on the walls - knowing one's rights and responsibilities at all times is invaluable in this country, and legal advice can save a lot of stress and heartache down the line), but in their shoes I would do my best to vacate in line with the section 21 notice. |

Pls how do i study nursing ? I no get money but i av 3 yrs UK care experience |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 3:17pm On Sep 09, 2024 |
Flyola:There is a nursing masters programme that enables you to apply for the RCN PIN at the end. It's quite pricy and I'm unsure if you can do it part time or how it'd interlace with your current visa (if on one). There is also an apprenticeship route. When last I checked, it was open to those with settled status. These roles are many times sponsored by Trusts for those who are HCAs already. If sponsored, you'd still retain good pay as a HCA while you study part-time. If say you have 2yrs left till ILR, with your experience you can target HCA roles with your local Trust, work up the ranks and see if you could be sponsored via the apprenticeship pathway. That way, you don't have to pay a fee and you retain your pay plus NHS benefits. You might need to change location or move Trusts if need be. Also worth being open to mental health Trusts Hopefully, nurses or folks with more info can shed more light. |

Stumbled upon these and decided to share. Deferential attainment and its drivers always fascinate me. Good thing the UK has reasonable data on this. We are a bit above average when it comes to GCSEs but lag quite a bit with housing. With GCSEs, good grades are nice but also important are mentoring (i.e what couse/uni/apprenticeship), exposure, links and soft skills Housing OTOH is good baseline for wealth in this country. Without this, other levels of attainment are more difficult. We lag quite well in this. Granted, we did not arrive as early as Caribbeans and some Asians hence did not benefit as much from council houses buyout cheaper housing 20yrs + ago. Over that period, lots of wealth was built in housing. Difficult to say where future wealth would be built but like with most life issues especially finance, he who already has is more likely to have more. Going forward, if few Asian countries continue compounding at such rate, it'd be more difficult to argue discrimination as an reason for affirmative action.

The debate was fun. Largely, cackling Kamala did better than I expected, had very good punchlines. Trump started off good, but over time was tying too many things to the people flooding into the country, so much so it became way too rehashed like a broken record. Had some good rebuttals, but that's just about it. He could have done way more to crisply highlight the glaring inefficiencies of the Biden administration. Harris had a good debate, Trump had a good closing. That closing statement was sweet. Wish he had chipped that in earlier like midway so it registered more when he eventually says it again in closing. Oh and he didn't fact check her lies or ask the mods to fact check her lies, since they had no interest in doing so. They didnt fact check her, even once. Still pretty sure he's winning come November tho💯🤞 |

Treadway:Hehe... it's the usual modus operandi. Ever societal ill is blamed on immigrants plus some purposefully vague terms intended to mean something different like how they change the 'feel' of a place. If your pet is missing, perhaps an immigrant has eaten it. Afterall, his younger bros Nigel Farage blamed us for vehicular traffic. He has insinuated the likes of Kamela, Obama and a few non-whire politicians are not qualified or American enough to run.... Wouldn't be to sure, still dicey atm but I'd give her a good edge. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Treadway: 1:56pm On Sep 11, 2024 |
jedisco:I know/realise that he was trying to stay on point with regards to the top two things Americans consider the focal issues: Immigration/The border crisis Inflation/State of the economy But I still think he had a lot of opportunities to really call Kamala out on her self righteous BS by putting her on the spot, which the mods clearly had no interest in doing. Look at how he put her on the spot on the border, when Kamala blamed Trump (talk about passing the buck), a former president for the Biden/Harris failure to secure the border, claiming that they were unable to pass a supposed bill that could have solved that, and Trump told her that they have executive powers to close the border and asked her why they haven't done that. That was a good one. Also the one on the tarrifs he (Trump) imposed on China, which they (Biden) didn't remove and still benefit from till today but she supposedly and deceptively tried to twist it as a con/negative. He should have done a lot more of that, and there were opportunities to do so, which he missed. If he had, that would have been glorious. The last question also, all these so called promises you're talking about, how come you haven't delivered on just one of them all through a full four year term? He should have unravelled her on national TV, and even put the mods on the spot too, rather than needless ineffective comments like migrants are eating pets, and all that BS. Anyway, I agree that Harris benefitted more from the debate in terms of being who is likely winning some new people to her side...can't say the same for Trump, cos not many are as knowledgeable or objective about the nuances playing out here as I am, for example. Only thing I've seen Harris contribute in 4 years is junketing around the world being a champ for lgbtqrstuvw and all that BS. She can champion and strengthen that group specifically, but no such initiatives for the black community for example. Bringing up things that happened before she was born, cos they can't find anything recent to label him a racist... same Kamala that called Biden racist too before she became Vp due to shit he had done also before she was born, same Kamala that got into politics on the back of being a side chick to a married political big-wig..talk about breaking a black home. She ain't no saint, and doesn't have me fooled, not in the least. Let's see how it all plays out in November. |

Treadway:I am even disappointed in Kamala for not putting Trump in his place on those issues you mentioned. First, Trump failed to solve the border issues as president. Remember " I will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it" he said in 2016. So he campaigned on the border, but didn't solve the issues as president. Go and check the data for US illegal border crossings from 2000 till date, you will see that millions of " rapists and criminals " in his own words crossed the border under his watch. In fact, in 2019 alone, about a million people crossed that border. Yes, more people have crossed under Biden but then Biden has also deported more people than Trump. So where was the outrage from Trump when millions crossed under his watch? Immediately he was out of power, all of a sudden the border became an existential issue again. If he didn't solve it as commander in chief, what moral authority does he have to blame Kamala who is just a mere VP? On Economy, that is simple, he left the economy worse than he met it and that is a fact. Obama did a good job in reviving an economy battered by the worst financial crisis in 2008, handed it over to Trump and he left it worse than he met it. Ok that's because of the pandemic abi? If he can be excused cos of the pandemic, why shouldn't Biden who inherited the pandemic riddled economy not be excused also? Did Trump hand over a booming economy like he inherited from Obama to Biden, and Kamala crashed it? Trump is running like he wasn't in power 4 years ago. I struggle to understand why some of us immigrants support a con man like Trump. Have you guys listened to his MAGA base like Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and other of his surrogates and see the kind of venom that comes out of their mouth? MAGA is not about policy, it is about " white grievances " and you guys are being used without knowing. Trump had the opportunity to pick Tim Scott or Vivek as VP but his racist mindset can't accept the idea a non white man being next in line to the presidency. He has not recovered from the fact that Obama was allowed to be president or the fact that a black woman is tryingto be president. Those 2 people debased themselves supporting Trump more than anyone yet he forgave someone who called him unprintable names just years ago to be his VP. How is JD Vance better than those 2 people? Non white men don't qualify for those positions, they are product of DEI. Make no mistake, I don't like liberals. My preference for leadership are moderate conservatives who don't subscribe to hate of other people and apply common sense in governance something liberals lack. But I will take any liberal over Trump any day. He will still likely win as there is a silent " white grievance" powering his campaign. He has used it before and it worked for him, it can still work this time especially since there are many naive people out there who think MAGA is just about policy. |

Kenn55:I hear you. But here's the thing, I have data that debunks a number of things you wrote here. First, when you hire someone and that person doesn't fxxck things up,and continues growth and growing, that is a resounding success, not a thing to be taken lightly...case in point Nigeria. Imagine how nice Nigeria would be if the APC knew anything about growth, building or maintaining it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/09/05/trump-obama-economy/ I don't want to inundate the thread with screenshots, but as always I encourage everyone to look at those charts and tell me Trump shouldn't get his due credit. Like you did here, even the writers of that column dilly-dallied about giving him his flowers, but thankfully the charts don't lie, and tell a very different story. On almost every chart, there was an existing high and then a dip during Obama years (which you highlighted why), and then things started looking up. On almost every indices, he improved upon what he was handed, in some cases considerably. That is a plus. If you won't give him those flowers, then don't give Biden any either, cos what he got to begin with was largely better than what Trump got to begin with. That he made a good thing much better is a plus not a minus. That's on the economy. On the border, I don't have the data unlike the above that I've had for a while,but I do know that he had come in also to deal with that existing mess and that was left by who? Was he doing something about it? YES. Was he hated today largely by some of the things he was doing about it? YES. Would he have made significant progress solving that problem had he won his second term or had he enjoyed the support of Congress or the support of the media like the Biden-Harris administration? YES He called her out on it cos she is the border Czar, and she has done absolutely nothing in that capacity to profer any sort of solution...hasn't shown she's interested even. At least he did something as a doer and not just a talker . What has Kamala done so far? Let's critique the wonderful things she has done, if any. Those are the questions that we need to ask, not all the petty, bogus sensationalism that people focus on instead. I hear you and understand you, but I'm just not a bandwagon fella, and I know this, ask just about anyone who is suffering from Trump derangement syndrome (as I like to call it) why/how Trump is a racist or bad for America, and all you will hear is incoherent babble, you won't get a rational or sensible response why..that someone is over the top doesn't make em racist. That you don't like someone doesn't make them racist. Racist na word wey get clear definition. infact ask em why Kamala is a great choice, na still babble you go hear...as if this person wasn't the president between 2016-2020. You don't have to like the guy, just be rational and that is fair and good enough by me. Biden said to blacks in 2020, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black enough. How is that for divisiveness and making it about race? If Trump said that, the headlines would be crazy. Anyhow dem wan do am jare. Come November we go see who amelikans go pick, and we go see as things play out afterwards too. |

justwise:America is an absolute behemoth in the world. It wont be just America who suffers if demented felon trump wins, we go hear am too as British-Nigerians in both our countries. Addendum: The Mayor gentleman had been divorced for 10 years before he met Kamala. She was a highly successful lawyer who won the election on her own merits. She proved that by going on to win higher elections in addition to being very effective in all her roles so far. Even if she was a homewrecker( which she isnt),so what? Does not make any difference to her capabilities. Look to your creepy r**ist candidate and serial cheat first. I wouldn't use this point again if I were you because show me a commandment and I ll send a clip of Trump breaking it. Lemme nor hear this particular argument again o.

missjekyll:i hear you jare. Not being judgy, just a reminder of her past deeds with sugar zaddy too. Since she also constantly reminds Trump and, previously Biden of their past deeds. Also he wasn't divorced, they were separated, but still legally married. They can try to do damage control but they can't scrub every digital footprint off the internet.😉 Talking about someone not renting out his flats in 1923 as racist jab in 2024.
