Immigrating to the UK

Not Romanian, Roma Gypsy, which makes more sense why the disorder happened imo.

What did that have to do with all the non-Romas rioting? Don’t think anyone in the UK actually likes the Pikeys. Or was it kicking off because they weren’t moving them along quick enough?

Child care workers were out to take kids away from an abusive home.

The gypsies are notoriously troublesome.

There's even a special streetsign on the A27 near where I live because of them:

Checked out Google street view of the part of Epsom we used to live in. Photo was from around a year before we’d moved in, and there were literally dozens of caravans all over the park.

Someone left one of the gates open in the boat yard of our sailing club, and the next morning there was a caravan parked on the common already.
 
We’ve got a small Gypsy settlement on the outskirts of town. Formal settlement of the a Doherty family. On Gipsy Lane, little shrine and all.

You won’t find a single gypsy family living in a street, they tend to live in groups, odds are the core of the arsonist group were all gypsies.
 
Probably better to continue the gypsy conversation in the living in the UK thread.

Don't they measure emissions as part of the test too? Plus what would the insurance implication be if you modify a car in a manner in which it bypasses the emissions equipment? (not even talking about software, u assume insurance also needs to know about this) Insurance doesn't care about...

Tory visa rules to stop people earning under £38,700 from bringing foreign partners to Britain have been paused by the new Home Secretary.

Yvette Cooper confirmed there will be "no further changes" to the current £29,000-a-year wage threshold Britons need to bring a family member from abroad until a review of the family visa policy has been completed.

Like the move to focusing on filling the roles with Brits before looking overseas.

This is the right approach. Most people in this country don’t earn nearly £40k a year.

Agreed. Though I am grateful I was able to come here on a skilled visa. Switching to family visa in Feb or March.

Lots to fix before that happens. Much of this centres around NHS workers and those jobs and working conditions aren’t attractive to locals. Sentiment is good though as the alternate would be detrimental to the already struggling NHS services.

Don’t recall who exactly, but I think it was Rayner (or some other Labour bint) who said they need to starting focusing on training locals in nursing, etc. As it stands it’s just more convenient to go shopping for them in the Philippines.

A good start would be to get young people out of the mindset that working with your hands (in a trade, care, etc) is bad, and that they don’t NEED to go to university (the country definitely doesn’t need anymore unemployed business or data analysts, for example).

My wife was doing that for a while, now certified for it etc.

She was a carer for old age homes for a while, 12 hour shifts 5 to 6 days a week, not much in the line of tea and lunch breaks, some very friendly old people then some that think they are the queen of England and others that have mental or physical issues or both.

Very taxing job for a very specific type of person.

Found better paying work with better hours etc. Nice to be in a country that has a 4% unemployment rate, very easy to swap jobs.

3.8%. But yea finding a job isn’t difficult if you have the skills. Finding a job here before you move here is incredibly difficult.

Her and her cousin have the advantage of being born there.

They both moved there without work and both doing quite well now. Oddly enough, a career change happened for both of them
