Ask anyone from French, Spain, Italy, Greece, etc. living in London and in tech if they believe their British peers are their equals intellectually.

There is a reason why these people dominate the top 1% jobs in tech in London.

I am flattered you read my bio but I don’t actually live in Germany lol

Why are they in the UK then?

I suppose you must simply have a planet-sized chip on your shoulder in that case.

Terribly sorry a British woman broke your heart, or whatever it was that someone did to you. All the best.

Then explain why people from southern Europe who can stomach English weather can come to London with a 2:1 degree or lower bachelor degree, speaking a language that its not theirs and compete on the job market with people with a 1st degree from a brick lane university?

Also those people don’t say full fat coke referring to a regular coke because they did biology instead of just math and physics from 15 years old and don’t have £80k of student loan to repay.

UK is suffering from the education it offers its people.

This is apparent in the law system having to be super simple to be understood to a point that it is not fair. For example, the £100k treshold for child benefits that is per person instead of per family income because people would struggle to follow it.

There are many examples to this. I wish all British people would speak another language properly and spend some time in continental Europe instead of comparing themselves to USA on matters of education and welfare.
