Some changes to immigration rules today, not just increasing English language requirements, mean migrants looking to live and work in UK will have to meet far far higher standards than British nationals, while paying vast sums to be allowed to do so. That isn't a system based on "fairness". 1/

We need a full feature-length version of this, huh?

I can't explain it but this Godzilla fig is radiating a lot of Beavis energy

It may be that I have to remain outwith the UK after all

The way things are going, it's unlikely that my future spouse will be able to move here (despite her English fluency).

I'm starting to think about the possibility of selling up, moving to her country instead and getting a job there

I don't think the government themselves know tbh. And I'm not being facetious! This looks like less of a well-thought-out policy and more like a hastily-drafted press release intended to appease the newspapers and the racist people who read them.

Reform are ahead in the polls, so Labour are scared

Interestingly (by which I mean: infuriatingly and worryingly), this is the sort of level that's expected. I only got 79%, because there's often more than one potentially correct answer, but the test only accepts one of them. So you need better-than-native fluency *and* luck!

I wonder whether I'll be forced to take A-level English when I apply for a new job, and where I'll be deported to if I refuse

Unironically this.

I studied English as far as GCSE and I was born here, along with millions of others.

This is xenophobic and indefensible

I think that we just reached peak Non Job

I'd put money on 0% of that ad being written by a human

RIP Drew Struzan

My favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."

I've come to the realisation that what we really hate is corporate culture, and that the c-suite folks use HR as human shields against our ire.

So yeah. The hate isn't aimed at HR. You guys are just put in the firing line
