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.

Just because you disagree with a definition, doesn't mean it's wrong.

Every country is culturally diverse, but there's still statistical common denominator. You have big differences in languages, accents, food, culture in the UK and yet 82% are white British. Same goes for Germany, Japan etc. Every country do their demographic analyses differently, but the point is that they all can have major differences within the same ethic group.

So we should either agree to use the same definition or agree that it has no meaning and not use that word at all.

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.

"Ethnostate - noun. a state that is dominated by members of a single ethnic group." That exactly makes them an Ethnostate. Mandarin and Uyghur re-education camps is authoritarianism.

Don't think I've seen a bigger oxymoron before... The definition of punk is being anti-authoritarian.

He already has money. He needs power and influence for his father in-law business interests.

I don't know if it's your reading comprehension or you're just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I'm not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn't seem to be based on any empirical evidence.

You made some bold claims though and I'm here to challenge you on those.

  • You claim to be a "leftie".
  • You voted remain.
  • You want to reform FPTP and immigration.
  • Apparently reform are the only ones to hit all the boxes.

So my answer is this... If you vote Reform, you're not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you're not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.
