More pandering to the far-right and more nonsense from an increasingly nonsensical government which is always reacting and never leading. I struggled with O level English and doubt I’d pass A level now. And I imagine like many reading this, I am descendant of immigrants (Irish and Italian).
I will bet my bike that close to zero of the British racists that this law is pandering to could pass A-level English.
Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English
Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

Mark Telfer and I only went and refound Aulonia albimana on the Isle of Wight two days ago! Quite possibly the best spider find of my life! Lots of other records too. analternativenaturalhistoryofsussex.blogspot.com/2025/10/whit...

A write up of an incredible few days at Menai with at least 15 nudibranchs (eight were lifers) and some very talented young naturalists that showed them to us!
