According to the renowned Pinko Paper, Liz TRUSS is to relax immigration rules for those sectors which might rather do better with a few Johnny Fs thrown into the mix. As a Johnny F myself, I was delighted to read that such relaxations would include less strict requirements to have mastered the mother tongue of this great nation before being granted stay - but - not for a self-interested motivation, but rather because a good deal of those one meets here do seem to be allergic to the concept of the past participle.


So, of the following options, regarding the policy proposal described, as well as others such as reducing the highest marginal income tax rate, which would you choose?


truss /trʌs/:


1. a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure.


OR:


2. a surgical appliance worn to support a hernia, typically a padded belt.


OR:


3. tie up the wings and legs of (a chicken or other bird) before cooking. [Other bird presumably being the United Kingdom in this instance]

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
