Labour MP Jess Phillips takes aim at politicians considering imposing a £30,000 pay threshold for EU workers to be considered skilled, saying: 'I have met many people who earn way more than £30,000 and have literally no discernible skills, not even one.' The MP for Birmingham Yardley says the post-Brexit immigration proposal was 'insulting' to the care workers, nurses and teachers who live in her electorate. 'I have definitely met some very rich people who earn huge amounts of money who I wouldn’t let hold my pint if I had to go and vote while in the bar,' she says.

@boiledegg6788 3 года назад

Exactly, nothing discernable to her anyway. What about "gift of the gab", "sales skills" etc etc... What do these cuckoos actually think? "Ah yes, you're applying for the £200k a year job, now, tell me about yourself?" 'I have no skills, no talent, I'm beige, but my Dad went to Eton and I got rejected by Cambridge" "Ahhh, you're hired old chum!"

Dear Guardian, I reside under a Flat Rock in Mish Again USA. I don't like olives. I ate paste in Kindergarten though. I happen to be a *rat* according to the Chinese zodiac, and somehow I managed to float *downriver* into this desolate area of nothing. I reside in a tin can dwelling unit too. Thank you for seeing the rubbish that nobody cares about. P.S. I want to share a fun fact. I learned, according to our handy Google babblefish translator. In German, the word "kohl" means "cabbage". (in a baby voice): Oh boy! I told the CEO of Kohl's department store online. They were absolutely pissed! I don't recommend doing that. However, one cannot possibly have too many heads of "kohl". Ah. Kohlslaw?! Ya! This Christmas, don't forget the right "kohl" in the stocking. Peace.
