Learn the Lingo



Migrants will have to learn English 'to A-Level standard' to get work visa under new UK immigration reforms

Migrants will reportedly be expected to learn higher standards of English to work in Britain and wait for longer before they can settle permanently under the Government’s new immigration proposals.



They will find phrases such as 'climate change' particularly useful if applying for work in the media or the BBC. Apply it to any unusual weather event anywhere in the world and the job's done. 

There is no need to learn what 'climate change' means because so much media language doesn't mean anything.

Might be more useful to have some of our home grown folks up to A Level standard..............

You do get a vision of people wearing robes and pointy hats incanting spells, waving wands and proclaiming what will be.

A level standard? I used to teach A levels, so that doesn't reassure me all that much

We're so much better off by not ever watching or listening to the BBC or their rivals, as the bolleaux they spout incessantly, requires an immediate switch-off, and that means standing up and spilling the glass of red...

Pathetic leftie propaganda does nothing for me, except make me wait until Tesco offers 25% off six bottles, which is far more important!

Chris - I agree, but where would we start?

Tammly - ha ha, they may as well adopt the pointy hat route.

Sam - it's an odd target too, a more basic level would be enough unless the claim is just another political headline grab and nothing to do with what goes on.

Scrobs - I think we are better off too, we have far more alternatives.
