Goodenoch:


Please do @elengine, so I can ask this question that’s confusing me. I’ve exhausted all my math skills (admittedly not very much) trying to work out whether an SIPP is better than a LISA for investment savings.
Why SIPP...Hope you know they can't access the funds until age 55 or so...Abeg money is best for them when they are young...Thats the best start to life that can be given

Hi everyone

As a skilled worker visa holder, can I trade on shares and stock in the UK? I just registered with Revolut now and I thought I should ask before going ahead. The Google search is not making sense

Why not spread your risk. Trade with the 212 Fidelity etc incase stuff hits the wall

Well said.
We just finished an election where the Reform promised zero migration among numerous freebies- why didn't they win?

I agree with the constant demonisation bit and that build up is the reason why many have taken issues with Zahra. She is well known for far right views but the parts I've taken her up on is subtle belittling of migrants. From quick memory,

My first contact with her here was when she mockingly 'warned' us that those who voted Brexit did not do that because they wanted Europeans to be replaced by 'brown and black' folks (her words). My response was reminding her that the stvpidity of Brexiters means nothing to me and their shortsightedness has been of good benefit to Nigerians which I welcome.

Next it was heaping struggles of the NHS on immigrants who in her words arrived with many untreated medical issues. Had to remind her that immigrants are overwhelmingly young and fit and would rarely visit their GP. Many are not even registered despite working in healthcare or paying more that their fair due via the IHS.

Next it was international students and how they are a drain. I had to educate that fees paid by international students are not only a lifeline of many universities but also subsidise local tuition fees.

Next it was how the NHS doesn't need migrants. Again had to remind her that a few years ago, the number of newly registered international doctors in a year surpassed new local doctors. Also, the government willfully stopped paying nursing students bursaries as it was cheaper to get oversee nurses.

Next was how the last government didn't know the care pathway was being abused in a bid to absolve them. Had to remind her stories were rampant in the media for years and that the home office issues every visa and should have a live tally of numbers issued and lastly why the care pathway had not been scrapped even after all the abuse.

The last one was showing hypocritical concern to developing nations who loose healthcare workers. Had to remind her that Britain donated millions of it's citizens to US/Aus/Can. I wonder when they'd ask them to return.

The next, I'd guess is how the UK would stop recruiting healthcare workers from certain nations. Again I'd say, I'm surprised it took so long.


It is such subtle insults that people noticed and came to the fore with the riots and the classic 'but' game she came with.

Am glad someone is taking this up....I always read his or her negative prints here and still see her advising folks here and this really got me confused like which side are you on. Thanks for laying this out. Na this kind i dey mute for twitter always negative towards Immigrant

Oh my, I m loving all of this

There's no "Higher Education (Funding) Bill"
Though there was nothing specific for universities and the sector in the King’s Speech, there is a lot of stuff worth keeping an eye on.

Of the forty bills proposed, the Skills England Bill is the only one to deal with post-compulsory education. We learn that the new body will work with devolved government (in the form of Mayoral Combined Authorities, or MCAs) as well as with business, providers, unions, and the national government – and that it will take on many (if not all?) of the functions of the current Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE).

The key word is coherence – as we pointed out on Monday there are various arms of government involved in what we might loosely define future skills planning. This includes bits of the Department for Education, arms-length bodies like IfATE, the Migration Advisory Committee and the Home Office, and the end of the business department that deals with industrial strategy (there’ll be a new one of those too).

Key functions will include data gathering and analysis (using data – including vacancy data – to draw together an agreed single perspective on national and local skills needs), a bit of regulation (marking training as suitable for the Growth and Skills Levy that will replace the apprenticeship levy).

Though the language of devolution runs through the proposals, it will start on a very small scale. Around 62 per cent of the 2024-25 adult skills fund budget will be devolved to MCAs, compared to 60 per cent devolved to combined authorities as set out in the Skills for Jobs white paper back in 2023, though more devolution is planned in future. Even so, we don’t see a repeat of the language around support for other areas (without MCAs) from the white paper, so it is not clear what would be on offer to areas without mayors.

The English Devolution Bill might be a part of the answer. A “more ambitious standardised devolution framework” will give greater powers to more local leaders by default – including on skills and employment support – and introduce “local growth plans”. This will extend to simplifications in the process of becoming a Combined (or Combined County) Authority.

Some researchers and research managers will want to keep an eye on the Digital Information and Smart Data Bill, which could simplify data reuse consent processes in both higher education and the commercial sector. The wider bill is more aptly described as a digital government bill, featuring improvements to data collection, data use, and data safeguards (including a beefed up ICO) that can’t help but remind you of Keir Starmer’s campaign story about digitising Public Prosecutions.

Parts of the Employment Rights Bill will have a bearing on working conditions in the sector. The “new deal for working people” will ban “exploitative zero hours contracts” – though there are few of these among academics (though there are still too many!), the big impact of this (and the enhanced rights, including flexible working) will be on ancillary staff. The Bill removes the minimum service levels during industrial action, among wider updates to trade union legislation. All of this will be enforced by a new body, the Fair Work Agency. Likewise, the draft Equality (Race and Disability) Bill will make the right to equal pay easier for disabled and ethnic minority workers to assert, and will introduce mandatory pay equality reporting for employers with more than 250 employees.

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill enacts what has been described as “Martyn’s Law” – something that, in the higher education sector, will have significant implications for security requirements of university buildings and campuses.

Of significance to providers involved in teacher training, the Children’s Wellbeing Bill will return England to requiring teaching staff to hold (or to be working towards) qualified teacher status. This closes a 2010 loophole introduced by Michael Gove, that ended the requirement for academies and free schools to use only qualified teachers.

This parliament will see a new Renters’ Rights Bill which could finally address some of the problems and inequalities experienced by students in rented accommodation. Some of these protections featured in initial drafts of the last government’s abandoned Renters Reform Bill.

Please did you have to reapply after it was rejected? I am asking because I submitted mine a week ago, and I just noticed £14000 is showing in the form A instead of 4000. I don't know if I should cancel and reapply rather than waiting for them to reject it because of the error.

No, There was no need to apply since i could always add more document but your own error has to do with input of information and its best you talk to your banker if there is a way they can help you from the backend.

While it is an intellectual community of like minds where people give information, you also need to have done some homework before coming here using Google or this timeline.

Read through the list given on different pages on this forum or search using this NL forum search . You will see a list of Unis with January admission.

Birbeck, Portsmouth, Angelia Ruskin, Essex, Surrey, Sheffield Hallam, Bradford, Sunderland, Bournemouth, Creative Art, Northampton, Northumbria, Southampton SOlent, West Wales, East London, GCU, Robert Gordon are a list of some Unis with January 2023 intake.

Put the Uni names on google and search for the course you want on the Uni's postgraduate taught study section and you will see tuition fee. It varies for courses even across a Uni.

Best of luck.

Religion / Re: Daddy Freeze Is A Liar, Tithing Is Very Scriptural And Was Approved By Jesus by willyede(m): 11:15am On Jan 13, 2019
MuttleyLaff:
SMH, I have just realised you are more confused than a chameleon trapped in a box of skittles
Was God in the beginning, in support of tithing, in the Eden?

I am sorry to say alBHAGDADI, but there is an awful lot of empty rhetorics written in your post and others similar to yours
and I believe the reason is due to the poor understanding of the meaning ""no one knew Melchizedek birth or death"
All due to poor understanding of why it was Melchizedek, Abraham opted to give the spoils of war tithe to
Poor understanding of the customary law behind the tithe Abraham gave
Poor understanding of the circumstances of how the Levi got given the office of the priesthood
Plenty and lots of poor understandings, there are too much to continue mentioning

There you will bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes,
your sacred offerings, your offerings to fulfill a vow, your voluntary offerings,
and your offerings of the firstborn animals of your herds and flocks.

- Deuteronomy 12:6

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
- Malachi 3:8

Of course, tithing is not offering, if it was offering, like you mistakenly assume it to be,
then there wont be a distinction between tithes and offerings, as being shown in Deuteronomy 12:6 and Malachi 3:8 above

The Greek original word, "die", used in Matthew 23:23, means, it is necessary, to tithe
and so when that necessity is over, that duty or responsibility to tithe, is no longer required or needed
It was under that present circumstances alBHAGDADI, that Jesus says to tithe, and not the thereafter

alBHAGDADI, the only tithes to God are:
1) the Levitical tithe aka Mosaic Law tithe, which are given to the priest (e.g. Levite)
and
2) the Abraham type of tithe, given to a priest cum king (i.e. Melchizedek)
- see #3 below

Other tithes in a secular world context (i.e. tenth, 1/10, 10% and possibly 0.1) alBHAGDADI are given
1) at pagan temples to priest(s) (note alBHAGDADI extra biblical references will be provided upon request, same with #3 below)
2) Upon the king's demand's (note alBHAGDADI bible references will be provided upon request)
3) to local ruler cum priest worthy of the consideration, after taking up arms, go to fight and winning battle fight(s) or war

This is breaking it further down for easier understanding alBHAGDADI:
1) There is obligatory tithe imposed by the Mosaic law (i.e. the Levitical tithe also known as the Mosaic Law tithe)
2) There is obligatory tithe imposed by the christian gatherings law
(i.e. ecclesiastical tithe, where christian gatherings, taxes its members tenth, 1/10, 10% and possibly 0.1 too, of their financial income)
3) There is obligatory tithe imposed by custom law (i.e. Abraham's tithing was done, due to the social setting of that time)
4) There is obligatory tithe imposed by monarchy law (i.e. tenth of seed and of vineyards, given to the king's officials and servants)

Now, there is another, which is voluntary tithe,
The nuance in this sort of tithe or tithing, is that it isn't imposed by the Mosaic law, not by christian gatherings law or by any custom law
It so happens or occurs, when FREELY, one DECIDES to GIVE, a tenth of one's financial standing,
as a form of contribution or donation toward's Kingdom purposes, aid or means

In fact, the tithing subtle difference, is that it is NOT obligatory or imposed

Bible writers and God use the terms, tenth and tithe interchangeably
So if I voluntarily give 10%, a tenth or 10 out 100 of my money contribution or donation toward's Kingdom purposes, aid or means,
I technically have given a tithe,
Considering that it is not a taxed, obligatory or imposition tithe, then I am free, to go ahead giving it

All tithes or tithings, are a form of giving
but NOT all giving are a tenth, tithe or tithing
because the giving could more or less than a tenth, tithe or tithing


The Bible's message today, is about a revolutionary way of giving, where believers are instructed or urged as in 2 Corinthians 9:7 above

Giving could be 50% today, as in 50% equals half of your money
Giving could be 10% next month, as in 10% equals a tithe, tenth, or 10 out 100 of your money
(i.e. voluntary tithe, voluntarily giving 10%)
Giving could be 100% following month, as in 100%, equals all of your money
Giving could be 0% following month after, as in 0%, equals zero goes out of your money
Could decide to give 1% month following after, as in 1%, equals 1 out 100 of your money
The giving cycle is not fixed, it might repeat or not repeat itself
How much you give, changes according to the ammount or percentage, you willingly decide to give

It is the freedom, to give whatever you're comfortable with cheerfully
This sort of giving regardless of the percentages is desirable but not obligatory
Without stipulating amounts to give, you're are being trusted to know, to do the 3 right things

You must each decide in your heart how much to give.
And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure.
(i.e. you shouldn't be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give)
"For God loves a person who gives cheerfully."

- 2 Corinthians 9:7

It is obligatory, taxed or imposed tithing that Christians cannot tithe

It is imposed tithing, which is dead with the law
and believers are not obligated to perform any form of imposed tithing

alBHAGDADI, correctively, the Bible teaches the "church" the revolutionary way of giving,
where believers are instructed or urged in 2 Corinthians 9:7 above, to do

2 Corinthians 9:7, by the way actually, is a rehashed principle God HAS always endorsed,
as evident in
Exodus 25:2, Exodus 35:29, Deuteronomy 15:10 & 1 Chronicles 29:9

Go check out Exodus 25:2, Exodus 35:29, Deuteronomy 15:10 & 1 Chronicles 29:9 alBHAGDADI
God is doing a full circle with this

Bravo! Encore!! You could see I am impressed
reading you scoring multiple own goals all over your post and elsewhere on this thread. Bwahahaha ha.

alBHAGDADI now jokes apart
Look, here is a chance after you've finished reading ALL I've posted up here, to redeem your image and self
1/ Why alBHAGDADI, did Abram had to tithe, because it certainly was not because he was asked by God to?
2/ Why did Jacob vow to give tithe to God when he said "I will surely give You a tenth."?
3/ Why alBHAGDADI, was it that, it was after 400 years plus of Jacob's vow, that God had the temerity to demand tithe from Israel?
4/ Now alBHAGDADI, don't believe the sold lie that Jacob tithed,
but if you do and are a victim of that deception
please tell how, where, why, how and whom Jacob could have possibly tithed?
5/ Following on with #1 above, what's the significant reason why it's Melchizedek who was Abraham's preferred choice to hand over tithe to?
6/ What would you accept and agree as the common denominator in all biblical tithe giving (e.g. Abraham's tithe and the Levitical tithing) is?

Let me see how you react and respond to the above simple six questions
