And the war on corruption, cronyism, deceit
And the war on exaggeration
No-one has ever done more to end the war on exaggeration
He ended exaggeration better & quicker than anyone even thought possible
Some people say his ability to end exaggeration is the best they've ever seen

I'm fully supportive of immigration
I'm far more concerned about foreign money moving unseen around the world than I am about people
Everyone is our neighbour & we should be kind
I don't think false/exaggerated narratives about what's happening helps anyone
& the A level requirement is disingenuous

Lest we forget one month ago Angela Rayner resigned over underpaying stamp duty on her £800,000 flat in Hove

Within a week Farage exposed not to own a £885,000 house in #Clacton he claimed he’d bought & accused of avoiding £44,000 in tax by funding his girlfriend to buy it

It got buried quick eh❗️😡

The German health care system employs about 15% of doctors who don't have German as a 1st language
Many of these are Syrian
Their German has to be significantly better to employed than a doctor in the UK who does not have English as their 1st language

Would the illegal migration they are talking about be of Israeli settlements in the West Bank?

The amount of study to get to C1 is immense
A level is considered equivalent to B1
There are 6 levels
B1 is 3rd highest
C1 5th
The language requirements to practice medicine in Germany are a great deal higher than the UK equivalent

DarvitWendy @darvitwendy.bsky.social · 1d

But to work as a doctor in Germany you need German language level C1 (B2 for most other healthcare) which is practically fluent German - more taxing than A level German

DarvitWendy @darvitwendy.bsky.social · 2d

A level as a foreign language, not as a first language
Like the expectation at A level French of someone whose first language is English

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Absolutely
It's here
Musk is funding legal costs of one of our most vile (& convicted) right wing agitators after he was arrested (again) last week
It used to be that UK was a decade behind the US with it's "trends"
It's happening more quickly now😞

It's true you are
Both a laughing stock & a terrifying neighbour
We can't truly call you, as a nation, an ally any more😭

I don't think that's their point
I think it's the equivalent of an A level in a second language, like me taking a French A level

DarvitWendy @darvitwendy.bsky.social · 2d

I think it's the equivalent of an A level in a foreign language
So an first language English speaker taking (say) German A level
Not an A level equivalent in their first language

Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets.

The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy.
