A good proportion of foreign nationals in jobs in the UK are in semi or low-skilled occupations.
There’s nothing good about ash dieback, but there is one useful thing that could be done: wherever possible, leave the dead trees to stand. There is more life in a dead tree than in a living tree: around 2,000 animal species in the UK rely on dead or dying wood for their survival.
Anyone can exceed expectations in one way or another and I hope to prove that when I race alongside, not just able-bodied drivers, but the best Touring Car drivers in the UK.
Indian food has been huge in the UK forever and ever, but that’s because it has a historical rooting. America, I think is really ripe for it. There’s been so much interest in Indian culture.
I campaigned for the UK to stay in the European Union but the country chose a different path.
The three main political parties all agree the UK deficit is high and needs to be brought down. All agree that it is easier to get a deficit down if you have faster growth, cutting unemployment-related costs and raising revenues.
If our grazing land was allowed to revert to natural ecosystems, and the land currently used to grow feed for livestock was used for grains, beans, fruit, nuts and vegetables for humans, this switch would allow the UK to absorb an astonishing quantity of carbon.
Stark was my late Grandmother’s maiden name. When I joined the acting union in the UK ‘Oliver Jones’ was taken so I had to come up with something else!
We didn’t really expect to achieve anything outside of the UK, and it just went crazy. It’s just crazy that people know our music. We’re just humbled by it.
The Civil Service is a vital economic asset to the UK – firstly, in the way it creates a framework for excellence in service delivery and secondly, in how it helps organise the best way to deliver modern public services on which both businesses and individuals depend.
The FCO must help Turkey reinforce accountable state institutions, while also developing ties far beyond them: the UK needs a deeper and therefore more durable relationship with the Turkish people, whichever background they hold, while working to uphold the values of human rights and democracy that benefit them all.
In the UK, everyone’s quite conservative. No-one wants to look like a fan.
I’ve always felt more at home in the UK than in France.
Carrick has a big cycling culture and I would compare it to the Isle of Man in the UK.
If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.
More than 50% of significant new regulations that impact on business in the UK now emanate from the EU.
For so many in the UK, the social contract is broken – the idea that if you work hard and play by the rules, you’ll reap the rewards. Advances in robotics, artificial intelligence and other technologies are just as capable of fixing the social contract as they are to weaken it further.
American-style iced tea is the perfect drink for a hot, sunny day. It’s never really caught on in the UK, probably because the last time we had a hot, sunny day was back in 1957.
A Global Magnitsky Bill, which broadens the scope of the US Magnitsky Act to human rights abusers around the world was passed in December 2016. Estonia adopted Magnitsky legislation in December 2016, and the UK followed in April 2017. These are great successes, but my fight for justice continues.
With Stand Up To Cancer, every penny goes to Cancer Research UK. You are playing with people’s lives. I knew I needed to get as much money as possible.
In many ways, Scotland will benefit more than other parts of the UK when Universal Credit comes in. A larger percentage of people will see an increase in their income through moving into work or taking on more hours.
There’s a level of exposure that ‘Smackdown’ and ‘Raw’ get that other brands like ‘NXT,’ ‘NXT UK,’ and ‘205 Live’ do not get. But at the same time, I feel like I would not be who I am without ‘205 Live.’
The thing about the UK is we don’t really make that many great movies.
We’ve had a number 1 album in the UK and that was a really big thing for me. So now all we’ve got to do is do it in America and that will have the domino effect of doing it across the rest of the world.
One of the challenges with a government health system, like in the UK, with all of this data, is that you have a government making decisions on which treatments they’ll pay for and which ones they won’t. That’s a dangerous, dangerous, place to get into society.
I personally haven’t heard anything, but WWE haven’t exactly been quiet about the fact that their aim is to do a full time UK brand show. They have been quite open about that from the start.
On April 27th 2017 the UK approved Magnitsky Sanctions as part of the Criminal Finances Bill. The provision gives the British government the power to seize assets of gross human rights violators.
I don’t deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world.
I’m currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that’ll screen in the UK soon.
I felt like I had hit a ceiling in the UK. I wasn’t having many opportunities to audition back home and I felt like my career was coming to a halt. So I came to the US to be a fresh face and start over.
