Sadiq Khan Calls Out Trump’s Racism and Extends an Olive Branch

I'm sure Trump would find it difficult and a total waste of time to give even a small, tiny, miniscule F$## about Khan. -
Must be a quiet day at school. If you got more involved when you have no teaching, instead of writing drivel on your computer, you might get on better. By the way, your hourly rates are wrong and immigrants don't get houses. It seems you are not the one who should be answering your alter ego's questions.

There's a possibility of a by-election in the not too distant future, if MP Amesbury is convicted. I believe his majority was over 14000. That by-election will be a good insight as to how people are thinking. If the electorate are working people or pensioners, very likely, maybe with a splattering of farmers, business owners and people classed as non working people because they have a few quid in the bank, Labour could be in trouble.

What is an Intensive English Programme?

Do you live permanently in Thailand? If "Yes", you can help. Generally, the immersion method is considered the best way to learn any language. To be in an environment where that language is being continuously used. Make an arrangement whereby the young lad spends time with you. Weekends maybe. Maybe time during school holidays. Be sure to have your wife/partner involved. Don't allow her to translate when the boy doesn't understand. Be patient. Start with every day phrases. "Time to get up", "What would you like for breakfast?", "Shall we go out?". "Where would you like to go?" I spoke English to our daughter from birth. My wife spoke Thai to her. In the village she would hear Khmer and at school Khmer and Isaan Laos. She is now quad lingual. Generally there is no limit to how many languages a young brain can pick up so don't listen if family say things like "no, he'll get confused". He won't. The classroom is not the best place to "learn" a language. It's OK for "studying" grammar and maybe spelling but the "learn" aspect must be done by doing. You wouldn't expect kids to read a book about swimming and jump in a pool and be proficient at 4 strokes, would you? During my time teaching I've seen many students who struggled to speak English get the opportunity to travel to a native English speaking country. From 6 weeks up to 6 months. Upon return to Thailand the transformation was amazing. Give it a go. If the lad is keen, he will learn. -
The link was regards to job losses and a letter sent by major business leaders in hodpitality to the treasury. I believe the article linked their concerns to a rise in employers NI but not mythical tax rises, as you suggested. Hence, your subsequent comment being the usual bo%#@ks that comes from you.

One more time. You quoted my comment and said " Yet more references to mythical taxes." Please show what taxes I mentioned that you believe to be mythical. That is, taxes I mentioned in the comment you quoted. If you can't, which I know you can't as I didn't even mention taxes, it just goes to show you are talking bo%%@ks. Not that that is particularly surprising.
