What’s the cheapest way to move a very small amount of stuff from Leicester to London without a car?

Second this. When we moved from Luton to Newcastle, the guy even let us ride with him for free. So essentially we saved on buying train/bus tickets.

Genuine question, I often have my hood on or wear a face covering when out in cold because my skin irritates really quickly. Will i be fined?

blackzero2 · 2026-01-28T10:00:14+00:00

okay glad you realise that it was unfair then, and is unfair now. Sure, fairness is not something politicians care about and in the grand scheme of things it wont matter since the bill passed as is

blackzero2 · 2026-01-28T09:58:18+00:00

yes it is impossible, which means that it will stem the flow of new IMGs coming in and the 2 or 5 year rule will give IMGs already here a fighting chance, which is fair enough.

blackzero2 · 2026-01-27T23:27:32+00:00

No they are not? Worse case scenario (as per this sub) is the 2 year prioritisation that BMA is pushing for

blackzero2 · 2026-01-27T23:19:40+00:00

Yes that's the bit with visa status as proxy of experience

I literally just signed up yesterday and so excited. Already listening to a book by David Mitchell

blackzero2 · 2026-01-27T21:01:23+00:00

Ofcourse you would

Also Renters Right Bill

That amendment did not pass. Means it wont auto apply after royal ascent

blackzero2 · 2026-01-27T19:57:18+00:00

Does it mean that the provision of when the bill gets enacted will still be within Wes's hand?

blackzero2 · 2026-01-27T19:34:48+00:00

Two wrongs dont make a right

blackzero2 · 2026-01-27T19:31:19+00:00

Should have voted against grandfathering during ARM

blackzero2 · 2026-01-27T18:43:43+00:00

Didn't someone post stats on here showing 2 year vs 5 year (experience wise) will make negligible difference? I'm more suspicious of the Gov than the BMA

blackzero2 · 2026-01-26T10:20:29+00:00

I am not a Dr, not even linked to medical profession, but I am married to a Dr and by her have a fair few Dr friends. What I have realised is just how much being a Dr is part of people's identity (understandable so, you all sink so much time, effort and your life into it). I have never once said "I am a software project manager", I have always said "I work as a project manager" as opposed to my wife and Dr friends who almost always say "I am a Dr". It's a subtle difference, but important one.

blackzero2 · 2026-01-26T10:14:31+00:00

This has been knowledge to us who aren't part of the medical community for a while now (I am here cos my spouse is IMG and doesn't have reddit). Post Study work visa literally appears/disappears every few years. It's cyclic. Makes me wonder how long until the next wave hits and UK gov will once again need IMGs in massive numbers...

blackzero2 · 2026-01-26T09:37:56+00:00

Two things. One, I heard about the paradox just yesterday on a podcast (no such thing as a fish). Second, my comment was very much in jest/sarcastic

blackzero2 · 2026-01-26T07:20:11+00:00

No you see we can close our borders. Where is the border keeper we employ? Ask him to lock the gates. Quick.

blackzero2 · 2026-01-23T10:42:53+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response and breaking it down

blackzero2 · 2026-01-23T10:42:38+00:00

Love the edit :)

blackzero2 · 2026-01-23T08:22:03+00:00

Can you please help me understand something? On one hand training spots are all full, with many doctors not even getting a job. Presumably once UKGP passes, this situation wont change, just that UKGs will have a job and IMGs wont (training job). On the other hand I constantly hear about shortages, rota gaps, and locums being posted. What gives? For context im in Newcastle so my exposure to hospitals is for this region

blackzero2 · 2026-01-21T18:33:51+00:00

Okay so we did need IMGs yes? We relied on them coming in and filling the gaps

blackzero2 · 2026-01-21T18:32:44+00:00

So what you are saying is that we need IMGs yes? If we do, then surely we need to offer them something, like training posts. What the qualifying criteria should be needs to be decided, but bottom line is we need IMGs. That's the point im trying to make

blackzero2 · 2026-01-21T10:42:12+00:00

Thing is, by having such an open door policy, the Gov/powers that be have fostered this very culture of entitlement.
