If you want to live in the UK, you should speak English. That’s common sense.
So we’re raising English language requirements across every main immigration route.

The Windows 10 support end date is 14 October 2025.
That does not mean Windows 10 will suddenly stop working or will begin to have faults. Of course not, Windows 10 will still be perfectly OK for several years to come, like Windows XP.
I will convert to Windows 11, but I would appreciate comments for and against from those users who have used Windows 11 for some time now.
Thanks in advance.

Really not sure what I think of this
I saw this headline about the richest people in Britain and can’t quite know which way to take it.
Your views appreciated to help me from all sides of the political spectrum please.
I like some of the comments 🙂

Big mistakes and small errors made a horrendous and horrific event happen

Two new nail bars open in my area, as well as a plethora of Turkish barber shops, sign in the window, CASH ONLY!!!, blatant money laundering!!
What a farce, LIEBOUR questions 95% of the time, 2 tier free gear NOT answering any questions, just faffing on about the previous 14yrs!!
But not just going up to London or a day out at the seaside.
Extreme day trips have itineraries for a day out all over Europe and beyond. Get an early morning flight from your local airport, spend a full day in a European city, then flight back in the evening.
All this for less than taking the train somewhere in the UK.

Donald Trump has claimed he had nothing to do with an AI-generated image which showed him dressed as the pope – despite the fact he shared it from his own social media account.
Over the weekend, the White House social media accounts posted the picture which depicted the president as the pope. This came after Trump had told reporters he would like to be the next pontiff after the death of Pope Francis.
The picture was then shared by Trump on his own Truth Social account, a move which was criticised by large parts of the Catholic community, who accused the president of mocking their faith.
This included the New York State Catholic Conference, who said in a statement that there is “nothing clever or funny” about the picture.
But when Trump was asked by a reporter at the White House about the controversy, he said Catholics had “loved” the picture.
After the reporter mentioned that some Catholics were unhappy about the image, Trump interrupted: “You mean they can’t take a joke?
In a typical nonsense rant, Trump hit out at the “fake news media” for the image, and said Catholics had “loved” it.
“You don’t mean the Catholics, you mean the fake news media. The Catholics loved it,” he said.
Trump went on to claim that he “had nothing to do” with the image, saying someone had made the picture and “put it out on the internet.”
He continued: “That’s not me that did it, I had no idea where it came from. Maybe it was AI.
“But I know nothing about it, I just saw it last evening.
Actually, my wife thought it was cute.”
Trump then joked about how pope’s “aren’t big on getting married,” before saying: “I think it’s the fake news media, they’re fakers.”
