This is bollocks. I don't understand English at A-level standard.
I got a grade 3 in English way back in 1985. In today's money, that makes me as thick as fuck!

Migrants will need to learn English to an A-level standard to work in Britain under a new law introduced today.

I'd heard it was bad but #Shingles can sod right off. It's like extreme sun burn with hundreds of mini blisters across your torso and back which someone rubs stinging nettles into 24 hours a day, whilst strapping a tens machine on maximum, to the area for days. Get the jab if you can.

Think it's get rid of all invasive apps and work from duck duck go and Firefox desktop. Avoid the G-word at all costs. Xox

This. And shouldn't it be Greta Thundberg or the Murdered Al Jazeera Journalist's who deserve the Nobel for peace. Just a thought.

Should we really be praising Trump for (possibly) resolving a situation he has perpetuated & facilitated for a long time? Are we just stroking his ego so he doesn't do a reverse ferret?
