we were just looking to see if my wife is effectively confined to the UK for the rest of her life because we won't have EHIC anymore but the best I could find was articles from a few months ago saying there's a transition period up to Dec 2020 on that, so we've still got a while to visit anywhere in the EU she wants to go to. there are some insurers that will insure terminal patients but I would expect they are prohibitively expensive (tbf I haven't got a quote I'm just guessing)

Noel Gallagher would reform Oasis to stop ‘lunatic’ Jeremy Corbyn from being Prime Minister https://t.co/UJkjJUiVZw pic.twitter.com/uFOibDO3RR

"The Tories don’t care about the vulnerable, and the communists don’t care about the aspirational.”

This from the guy who admits he spent seven years on the dole playing the guitar rather than get 'a proper job'.

isn't this how the 30 years' war started?

So, a UNILAD founder, Alex Partridge, had his debt bought up by Lad Bible to force UNILAD into administration. UNILAD staff are currently locked out of crucial systems, and are claiming the whole thing is a hostile Lad Bible takeover - to mothball the site https://t.co/NoKV2iBGJM

The rabid anti-semite Taki has also threatened to leave if Corbyn is PM, would prefer it if some kind of legally binding deportation document could be drafted, rather than just idle talk.

In numbers
83%
of Tories see Theresa May as a decent person against 48% for Boris Johnson; it is 47% and 30% among voters of all parties, including Tories.

81%
of Tories say May has nation’s best interests at heart; 52% say Johnson. It is 43% and 30% among all voters.

63%
of Tories see May as a strong leader against 39% for Johnson. Among all voters it is 32% and 27%

poll by Opinium taken after the conference shows Boris polling badly within the party and with the electorate. Game over probably. Just got the new Graun approved, faux-Centrist Marm version of TM to hate now and she's shown a few times now she can pass Richard Pryor's concept of the ultimate test: "the ultimate test is whether or not you can survive death. That's the ultimate test for your ass".

Geldof knows very well that boosting your flagging career with a famine only works with African famines.

Lol my mum got Geldof's book Is That It? From some mail order book club in the 80's in a more innocent time before terms like "hate-reading" were commonly used.

Him and Izzard made Project Nausea a more powerful brexit incentive than a zillion Putin-bots.

Imagine Britain without its music. If it’s hard for us, then it’s impossible for the rest of the world. In this one area, if nowhere else, Britain does still rule the waves. The airwaves. The cyberwaves. The soundwaves. It is of us. It is our culture.

With Dickhead Dugher in charge of UK Music, having sworn to discover the new Beatles, all is lost, with or without Noel Gallagher's tax returns.

It didn't. However I think it's important that the apparently 99% of the population who don't know the scale of casualties in our most recent war be brought up to date with exactly how high they were, and still waiting for a politician to make a good attempt at this.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 7 October 2018 20:06 (five years ago) link

xps.

Japan's also looking to formalise language testing for migrants, in the way that the UK has. I'd say that around 80% of the learners who would have gone from Nepal to the UK, when they were still able to support their study with work, are now going to Japan.

I've heard some interesting rumours that the Home Office is going to streamline the immigration system post-Brexit to make it less painful for applicants. The numbers will probably be capped but there's a fear both of a brain drain and of missing out on highly-skilled workers. It can't be overestimated how many of the Byzantine processes were simply just to deter people from applying in the first place.

Interesting also because how many times has this been tried and how many times has it failed miserably already? Early days but I can't see a Tory Home Office post-brexit make things less painful for anyone, let alone applicants.

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 14 January 2019 13:40 (five years ago) link

I'm not sure they've ever really tried to make anything easier in the past. They've tended to talk up the idea that the UK is open for business while making things as difficult as possible.

The system, as it stands, is pretty much designed to ensure that potential migrants a) don't bother b) give up or c) are rejected on technicalities - that's not going to be sustainable if you're funneling new EU migrants through the same route and expecting to maintain London as a European commercial centre. The numbers and qualifying metrics (particularly around salary) are like to be quite heavily controlled but the processes don't necessarily need to be quite so aggressively awful.

ShariVari, Monday, 14 January 2019 13:56 (five years ago) link

Settled status applications are a shitshow waiting to happen.

gyac, Monday, 14 January 2019 14:15 (five years ago) link

I was going to say, I don't think the Brexiters went through all this shit just to end up with a UK outside the EU that opens borders and welcomes all migrants.
