This morning, double injection : against flu and covid. I did not pay anything.
#covid vaccine is free for everyone in France. #Flu vaccine is less than 20 euros. It's free for everyone "at risk" (long-term chronic illness) and for people from 65 years old

Of course, to be a language assistant the required level is higher. But for a lot of other jobs, now it's A2 (if you want a long term visa). Next year it will be B1

Well, In France at the moment, A2 level is required for immigrants. I know plenty of brits who live in France and struggle with the french A2 level. But next year it will change. A B1 level will be required

The boomerang effect of the trade war ultimately hit British blast furnaces, already in dire straits, hard. And what will happen if the EU erects barriers around its automotive market?

In May, the United Kingdom had managed to negotiate "only" 25% tariffs on steel entering the United States. Even though it had hoped for better, this was still less than the 50% imposed by the EU.

above this quota in order to contain the invasion of Chinese products, anxiety rose across the Channel among steelmakers, who sell 78% of their exports to the Old Continent.

Nor can post- #Brexit British industry take refuge in the European Union's ( #EU ) panic room. When Brussels announced Tuesday that it wanted to halve steel imports into Europe and impose 50% tariffs

if bond markets were to "lose patience" with countries that are too lax on public finances. The reason is simple: British debt is not under #European Central Bank protection.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.

Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.

They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.
