Tennis is for boring posh people and the waannbe middle classes wishing they were posh by eating over priced fruit in London every June.The contrast between those two headlines
The party of 'law and order' that feels like they are not bound by any law is a very dangerous one.

@arminisgod you mentioned the other day about the low pay of migrants. This is a good example
Syrian cheesemaker who escaped Damascus bombing gains royal approval in the UK | The National
Razan Al-Sous left behind her dream of becoming a chemist and now her Arabian cheeses are winning awardswww.thenationalnews.com
This lady is a pharmacist but her qualifications aren't recognised here so she created a business instead (startup/self-employment rates are significantly higher among migrants for this very reason). Perhaps if we did a better job of recognising the credentials people have they wouldn't have to do other things? A Brazilian friend of ours, for instance, is a doctor but to practice in the NHS would mean doing medical school all over again, so to support his family he works in sales. He's done very well like, but it would surely be a better contribution to society if he practiced medicine instead?
Another change that nobody will notice.Hip hip horaaaay... The last one standing.
Three brings in EU roaming charges and ends global scheme
Three is the third UK network to bring back roaming charges for the EU post-Brexit.
I was talking about this the other day. My experience is that people coming to another country to live and work are often more entrepreneurial and dynamic in their desire to work and earn compared to the natives who may have got a bit complacent. Obviously this is a benefit to the economy and society as a whole@arminisgod you mentioned the other day about the low pay of migrants. This is a good example

I posted in the wrong thread the other day , I genuinely hadn’t seen a problem but over the last 7 -10 days it’s absolutely been an issue at a couple of supermarkets in Liverpool . Not to a start of the pandemic degree but the shelves weren’t full and other than people panic buying or the week before Christmas I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before . Bizarre really

I’m getting screwed with this one
This is an area I work in a fair bit. A long story short, a lot of innovation is not so much new stuff but things being applied in different contexts. So migrants automatically have that by virtue of having the habits and norms from their homeland transplanted into somewhere new. Couple that with the motivation to make a success of their move, and often the lack of attractive alternatives, and that is the main reason why many migrants become entrepreneurs or self-employed (and very successfully too I might add).
You complained that migrants were lowing the wages of native workers, to which I shared data showing that migrants are far more likely to be over-qualified than native workers, which perhaps explains the wage situation. This was an example of that, as the woman was unable to work in the field of her qualification, so had to do something else. Some will start a business, some will "downshift" their aspirations and do anything to bring in some cash.
I know EE are introducing the change in the new year, so assuming the other providers have done similarly, no one will have noticed a difference yet, especially as Covid has meant travel has fallen anyway. Assuming that 2022 will see some kind of return to normality with regards to travel, however...
That’s very interesting.
It's more that of the liberals really. The Tories have always had strong elements of social conservatism, whether it's opposition to the women's vote, decriminalising homosexuality, abolition of the death penalty, and numerous examples of racism, especially against Afro-Caribbean and Asian people.
