stock trading in UK?

the fastest way to learn...
TO PRACTICE it!!

so i'm planning to get a stock trading account here in uk.
but ordinary share trading account is kinda not famous here.
they use to be CFD trading rather than the share.

CFD is kinda derivative trading where there will be a huge leverage 1 to 10 or 1 to 20..
so we can trade 10 times of our deposit.
we can long or short the underlying share or indices.

trading commission is 0.5% of the value and we pay nothing for the stamp duty.
we still entitle to the dividend and any right issues...
but we do not own the share...

unfortunately...
its not my style...
i going to buy and hold rather than trade those stock for short term...
secondly,
i have only small start up capital...
therefore, i go for high risk at this moment...

found a cheap trading platform from my module leader...
share.com

trading cost kinda similar with m'sia...
minimum cost is 7.5 pound
stamp duty
and plus a admin fee of 2.5pound+VAT every quarter...
i can set a dividend reinvestment order...
where they will reinvest my dividend(must more than 10 pounds)asap...

i'll try to learn how to invest well in uk market and diversify my portfolio...
lastly,
i might be staying here in UK if i manage to get the PSW to work here for 2 years...
time to fight for future...

Gogogo...
