By your definition, every language is like that then. The only "pure" languages are spoken in countries with small populations. And even then they still get external influences, and I doubt it would be spoken as it was 1000/2000/3000 years ago...

I guess I just found your wording strange. Plenty of people are interested in different cultures. People read Greek and Norse mythology, Japanese or Slavic folklore without even being from those parts of the world. Do you think that the Conjuring or Exorcist are only scary if you're Christian? Or the Ring is only relatable if you're Shinto.. Or you can only enjoy Thor movies if you're pagan..?
Why is it only scary for Muslims?
Are you going to apply the same rules to pedal assist bikes? Or are you planning to single out e-scooters only, like tfl did for some reason?
Acoustic bikes? What kind of witchery is that? Do you sing to unlock them or do they play music while you ride?
40% of that figure is international students, who tend to be wealthy and live in student accommodation which wouldn't house regular people anyways. They also tend to leave after they finish their studies. So that would leave us closely with the recommended number of building new houses. People should really find another excuse to blame immigrants or bother reading the details of the stats they use. (Also, ONS and other think tanks said that this number is not going to continue going forward.)
I like what Mike Lynch (famous leader of one of UKs biggest union) said during his Novara media interview.. I'll paraphrase from memory. "Back in the day, your retirement was secured with your job. You'd get a pension from your employer when you get to retirement age. Then Thatcher and Reagan happen.. Now days, there's no security, benefits or high salaries anymore. So people do whatever they need to do to secure their retirement. And if it's buying another property, so be it."
Quick edit: before anyone gets angry. Neither myself or him want this to continue. It's shit and we should fight to bring back dignity to people's careers. But until that's sorted, I think it's ethical to care for your own and your family's survival.
Technically correct, but your comment makes it sound like the military is actively commissioning movies, which is not the case. When Hollywood wants to make historical or war movies, they have few options:
- Buy the equipment - one military ship or airplane can be more than the whole movie's budget.
- Prop/CGI - may look bad and doesn't guaranty to be cheaper.
- Get all the gear for free, loaned out from the military (including training and specialists) - but they get to edit and approve your script.
I wish there were more options for independent and critical movie makers.
One would think that there would be more than just one lawyer who says that.. Oh well.. :)
You need the IELTS UKVI (general) test which is provided by the British Council specifically. It's the same exam, but stricter facilities. The 'normal' test won't be accepted by the Home Office.
He is opposed to a policy which has already been thoroughly consulted on.
Wrong, I'm afraid it wasn't. national grid consultation
It seems like the pressure is working, because they agreed that the initial assessment wasn't enough: "We are also consulting on the preliminary findings from our environmental studies and assessments as well as proposed mitigation for any potential impacts to the local environment, including animal habitats and the local landscape."
In any case the local campaigners want more scrutiny and consultation from a third party. Which is their right if we like it or not.
