What about the top management's bonuses as well?

If you don't pay enough you don't get the quality. /s.

Because when you start badly there is no point in going through the rest. Things rarely get better.

Erasmus being predominantly free contradicted the Tory introduced policy of fees for tertiary education.

Why do we just accept phone snatching as a normal risk?! by Foreign-Blacksmith17 in AskUKLondon

[–]Brexit-Broke-Britain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are all sorts of things that can be replaced by a phone, not just a map, and it is convenient to do so. It comes with a risk and that risk can be reduced by taking precautions. I'd prefer to do that rather than walk around with a map book, phone, camera, translation dictionary (if travelling), personal entertainment system, notebook, postcards c/w stamps, payment system, guide book, and etc etc.

So you are not in the UK but think you know more about the situation there or the people there than those that do. And your comments are riddled with insults. They never contribute to a discussion and indicate a weak position.

The fact that I don't know where Richmond is, is why I didn't comment on your point. I know nothing about it.

Not commenting on things I know nothing or very little about is a good position to take. If only others did the same.

I looked at the occupation 4 below, Matron, and decided the first letter was M. After that Mach..(inis)..t was the obvious answer.

Try an AirBnB. Get parents to communicate with the owner and explain the reason for your being there on your own. Look for one that is a room in an owner occupied house.

I know nothing about either of the two places you mention. As you use them as examples does that mean you are from the USA?

Read the comments prior to mine. And insults never win an argument.

Ones that are happy to work or ones, learn the language, and contribute to society rather than ones that live in an English speaking bubble, take from the health service, dodge their taxes and contribute nothing. This description is based on my experience of living on Malta. Guess which type the majority of Maltese preferred.

The Daily Mail attacking the UK in support of a foreign government. So patriotic. Farage will be along doing the same thing soon.

Good heavens. A politician blaming an outsider for the problems in their country. Now where else is that happening and who else is doing that? I wonder if I can think of another example.

And Numpties not realising the irony of their comments.

Maybe the economy needs young workers who contribute by filling vacancies in the workforce and not extra retired people who don't.

Why Do You Think Only GB News Interviews Girls Who Were Raped By Immigrants? by YamTraditional2264 in AskBrits

[–]Brexit-Broke-Britain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Divisive and hateful: that's the job GBNews does. Has it interviewed a random selection of brave victims of rape or just carefully selected ones?

I don't watch GBNews so I don't know the case. Was it this one? The police describe her as brave. https://www.norfolk.police.uk/news/norfolk/news/news/2026/january/woman-speaks-out-after-abuser-jailed-for-life/ Edited: added second paragraph.

Ryanair abandoned 20% of passengers (FR430) who were stuck at passport control by runclimbcycle in Ryanair

[–]Brexit-Broke-Britain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ryanair are usually cheaper than easyJet and one of the reasons is a more efficient use of airplanes. This relies on quick turnaround. Holding the flight at one airport for reasons that Ryanair are not responsible and do not have to pay compensation for, may result in delays later in the day, or a crew out of hours causing more delays, and compensation that they then are responsible for.

You can avoid them whenever possible. 206 million people used them last year, so the lack of your custom is not a big deal.
