ab6262 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 All, or they wouldn't even get a visa to come here. ah thanks that brings us neatly on to the "fake" visa system :loopy: which is so widely abused for made up courses!!! and then they move on to the main UNI system. and before you say anything i deal with many company owners in the far east who ask for invitation letters so they can get their sons and daughters over here and into our visa system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiglet Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 assuming they can find a job as the last i heard it was "tres dificile" for them to find work?? recently;) The graduate unemployment rate is around 15%. That means the vast majority are paying back their loans within a few months of graduating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 15% are only those that are unemployed after a few months it doesn't mean they will never work, they will still have to start repaying as soon as they are earning over £15k.

No. It's administered through HM revenue and customs in the same way as income tax, and I don't see them forgetting to take that. It works. You're creating an argument where there isn't one. At least go and read how things work before making it up instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
