How Will New Immigration Laws Will Affect Employment?
Something struck me last night, although I might be barking up the wrong tree. It happened when I was listening to something on the radio about Boris Johnson’s new government wanting to attract the best talent from across the globe. When you hear about Johnson attracting talent, it makes you wonder if he was talking about his endless stream of mistresses, but I think he meant professional people.

This was personally written by owner, Viscount Rothermere. Supporting fascism was all the rage amongst the aristocracy back in the 1930’s.
