So you think it best to listen to self proclaimed experts posting anonymously on a forum?

And yes my suggestion is a very good way for a rank amateur to learn about investing. Some basics are explained here:

http://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/

A little research will soon throw up some decent books. Organisations such as Which produce a decent book or at least they used to. The difference between these articles and books, and online posts, is that a qualified writer has taken a considerable time to organise their thoughts, they have been checked for errors, and usually they are reviewed, giving an independent assessment

I would be reluctant to put much faith in a few hastily wriiten posts on a forum.

Finally we agree on something. I love the motley fool (and moneyvator ) for investing basics. been using the fool for decades now.

However your phrasing could have been better. for a newbie that is.

That is also very bad quality investing too.

yup. the OP might want a stop-gap solution - that point was reasonable - but a sensible stop-gap would be a portfolio fund, not a UK tracker.
