They have only perfected the art of espionage. All they do is spy and improve on it. Most of their student in the west are spying for their country.
Ultimately, may the best spy win as the us and the west do thesame.

They didnt really need espionage as they welcomed Tesla into China without the stringent regulation they gave to other western coys, practically saved it from looming bankruptcy and in process got insight into its manufacturing process. "A few minute later", we see a booming EV market with state of the art, price competitive vehicles. One can simply draw the parallels and arrive at a conclusion

UK needs to tackle benefit welfare system while they can. Many people haven’t become lazy and not ready to work.

Good morning, I’m helping someone apply for a visiting visa. Do they need a dollar account to pay for the visa fees or can they pay with their Naira Visa card? Thanks.

The tax system needs reforms, you can’t be collecting too much from people and asking them to work their ass out. That maths is not adding up any longer.

Uk Pay less tax compare to other european nations.

No-one is!
The ones we are sure about are twofold: in the short-term, it will definitely cost the government all, if not much more than it is saying it will save to carry out the redundancy process for the approx. 10k people (pay off people with service of 2 years and above, etc.), and a lot of those laid off quangocrats will eventually pop up, relatively unscathed, in jobs in either the DHSC itself, the NHS trusts or somewhere else in government and life will continue almost as normal. The public sector takes care of its own.

Some will definitely land upwards but the scale of the proposed cuts is unprecedented in the NHS and is said to be likely to be much deeper than reported;

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/mar/14/30000-jobs-could-go-in-labours-radical-overhaul-of-nhs

The civil service is also being lined up for efficiency savings aka job cuts, spending freezes, so it's far from business as usual for the public sector...

Interesting and challenging times lie ahead for Labour -

1. Their targeting of the disability benefits system, including tightened eligibility for Pip payments, will alienate a great many of their voters (Libdem will be the winners here). Their plans have been criticised by several of their MPs (and shock, horror, by the slasher himself George Osborne!).Not a good omen if even Osborne thinks that Labour is being too harsh on the most vulnerable

2. The Runcorn by-election has been confirmed and polls show Reform to be in the lead. If Labour lose this seat, which they won very comfortably only last year - and in spite of the civil war raging in Reform- that would definitely be an ominous omen for them.

Not necessarily. Lower income earners generally do.

Most European nations have much smaller or no tax free allowance hence most income is taxed. For higher earners, tax rates are similar across board.

Where the UK is advantageous is the relatively generous tax-free savings and pension allowance of 20 and 60k respectively which most nations have much less of. But then, one has to pay income tax+NI first before having leftovers to invest in an ISA.

For example, if you fill your ISA and invest it properly, in 10yrs,one could easily be looking at a perpetual (for now) tax free sum of over 550k (using an annualised return rate of 7%). Not many nations are that generous but again, the money has to be earned first.

Good one

Is there anyone in teesside university that knows about accommodation , my brother is coming over next month

I have a feeling this will put more strain on mental health services, people are so predictable in this country.

Important changes to the skilled worker route, effective April 9:

- Recruitment of care and senior care workers from overseas, or other immigration routes, will be banned in effect (applies to England only):

Employers will be required to prioritise care workers who have lost their sponsorship and/or are looking for new employment before they can consider overseas applicants or those on other immigration routes (doesn't apply to applicants already in a sponsored role).

- Minimum salary for sponsorship is to rise from £23,200 to £25,000, which means that Band 3 entry level roles will no longer meet the salary threshold for sponsorship

- Where an applicant is claiming a ‘new
entrant’ salary reduction based on training towards a recognised professional
qualification, this must be a UK qualification.

For a visitor visa, is the return leg ticket required before the visitor is allowed to board (any airline). Also at the point of entry in Heathrow, will the return leg ticket be demanded?

They have perfected the art of gaming the benefit system. This is not sustainable as the country is broke as they keep saying. It’s alarming the number of people going into benefit monthly.

What do I know make I mind river states business.

Hi Guys, so my friend is looking to join his Gf's visa (a nurse) as a dependent. The issue is that they haven't been together for 2 years, and they live separately due to different work locations. Their wedding is planned for next year, but he needs to join her visa as soon as possible as his visa will expire in 6 months.

Someone mentioned doing a proxy wedding from Nigeria and using the certificate for the dependent visa instead of going to Nigeria.

Does anyone have any idea how this might work? Thanks

They will vote labor out. That benefit is more important to most of them than anything else.

If you don't present a return ticket with VV, you WOULD be denied boarding, let's assume you scale through at your departure airport, you would not pass through at any UK airport...... And the airline that brings you in, would also be fined, used to be £2000 (might have increased)....


Buying one leg is more expensive, why are you considering that route.......

Please I need help oh before Aunty Badenok will say I have claimed public funds. I wanted to register my daughter at the primary school ahead of her 3 years birthday in June. So she can begin in September. The receptionist said my child is entitled to 30 hours as against 15 hours as long as we are able to show that my wife and I are working. I have read a lot online but I want to hear from people who can inteprete the law well or someone who had got rea life experience.

My parents arrived five days ago, but they were initially denied boarding at MMA because I had purchased a one-way ticket for them. I had to quickly buy a return ticket before they were permitted to board, and they almost missed their flight. Interestingly, upon arrival in Manchester, no questions were asked about their tickets. To avoid any issues, I strongly advise you get a return ticket

If you reside in England, eligibility for 30 hrs childcare is also dependent on immigration status.
The parent who makes the childcare application must have British citizenship, settled status or recourse to public funds. Many educational providers may not be aware of the immigration conditions as they apply to only a subset of parents, as opposed to the working and salary requirements which apply to all parents.

The school won't be able to prove or approve your eligibility - you would need to apply to the government to receive a valid eligibility code before you can claim the 30 hrs funding. The code would need to be renewed every 3 months.

From gov.uk:
Your immigration status
To be eligible for free childcare for working parents, you (and your partner if you have one) must have a National Insurance number.

The person who applies must also have at least one of the following:

British or Irish citizenship
settled or pre-settled status, or you have applied and you’re waiting for a decision
permission to access public funds - your UK residence card will tell you if you cannot do this

No questions were asked, because the immigration officer got access to flight manifest on their screens, saving the airline a £2000 fine...... ;😁😊

When I initially responded, I said boarding would be denied (which you have further confirmed)..... 😊

Thank you so much for providing this useful information. I'm a skilled worker with NRPF and I can see it clearly that I'm only entitled to 15 hours starting from September. Unfortunately I know a lit of people with the same visa status that are claiming the 3o hours. Sope oti lo

Hello everyone, I’d like someone to help answer the below questions, thanks

1. My newborn is only a few days old. When is the appropriate time to apply for an international passport for him? Please note that we don’t have any immediate travel plans.

2. When is the best time to apply for his visa and add him as my dependent? Is it necessary to do this now, or can I wait until I’m ready to proceed?

3. I’ve scheduled a private circumcision for him. Will this cause any concerns or issues with the healthcare visitor?

Thank you in advance
