Europe’s uneasy reset: Crowborough protests army‑camp asylum housing, ‘rich’ varies by postcode, and AI set to remix work
Crowborough Protesters Rally Again Against Plan To House 600 Asylum Seekers At Army Camp
In Crowborough, organizers say roughly 3,000 residents marched for a third rain-soaked Sunday to oppose a Home Office plan to move 600 asylum seekers into the local military site by the end of December. Two processions merged in the town center before a rally, with 600 marchers wearing numbered badges to mirror the proposed headcount. Protesters cite public safety fears, pressure on local services, and the displacement of four cadet units. The Ministry of Defence says it is working with the Home Office and takes cadet safety very seriously, even as preparations now include high fencing and patrol-dog security. Nothing says joined-up government like promising wellbeing while installing kennels. Wealden District Council has formally opposed the proposal, parents and instructors are staging informal patrols at cadet pickup times, organizers have booked next weekend’s march, and the site is one of two earmarked for people who arrived via small boats.
How Rich Is Rich In Europe, Depends Where Your Euros Live
Luxembourg’s velvet rope starts around €175,000 net for a three-person household, while in Turkey it is under €20,000. Germany sits in the upper middle, predictably sensible and slightly self-satisfied. Adjust for cost of living and the gulf narrows, a reminder that wealth is not just how high you stack the bills, it is how far they march before collapsing. In short, the continent’s definition of rich is a moving target, and the bulls-eye is painted by local prices and a nation’s taste for smugness.
The Internet Rewired Work, AI Looks Set To Remix It
The web did not vaporize jobs, it seeped into almost all of them. Single-task roles shrank, new ecosystems bloomed, and today only about 10 percent of workers use the internet minimally. That is the tell for AI. It will carve off routine tasks, speed the technical layer, and push humans toward supervision, complex judgment, relationships, and exception handling, while spawning new hiring around data, safety, and infrastructure. Expect a messy, uneven reshuffle, not a clean robot coup. Cancel the apocalyptic keynote, watch the backbone being built, and maybe hire someone who actually knows where the cables go.
