Plus, if you thought the acceptance rate for normal applicants was small... think again. In comparison to the record low 7.1 percent rate this year, acceptance for transfers is miniscule (traditionally, about five percent). So really, transfers probably wouldn’t have gotten in anyway, and Pilbeam is just saving everyone’s time and energy, not to mention a lot of seniors’ sanity...
...immigration game. Last February, the UK government introduced a new, Australian-style points system for non-EU immigrants, requiring English language proficiency as well as education and earnings minimums for the right to stay. With a growing population of Pakistani and Bangladeshi Britons who are undereducated, unemployed, and low earners, the British government’s stance reflects a politically brave and long overdue acknowledgement that its postwar immigration policy was problematic. It also reflects the acknowledgment that past efforts to help groups who immigrated during that time have been largely ineffective, and thus current immigration should be limited with...
...advertising,” Reno says. “If you have great food, people will find it.”The Hoxallari brothers’ popularity and success is well-deserved.

...low earnings and low educational standards, Professor Ceri Peach of Oxford University finds that Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in Britain have some of the highest levels of self-segregation of all ethnic groups in Britain. Although he acknowledges that poverty plays a role in residential segregation in disadvantaged neighborhoods, Peach argues that much of it is self-imposed, through a “positive desire for clustering” for cultural and linguistic reasons. Segregation can hinder learning in English-speaking British schools and limit job networking. In turn, this may limit job opportunities and success on the job, which usually...
