Caribbean islands offer 'digital nomad' work visa

Islands in the Caribbean are famous for luxury, not for being places of
work. However the nation of Antigua and Barbuda is hoping people will
come and work there for two years. It is offering a two-year work visa for
"digital nomads" - people who can work anywhere in the world on their
computer. The new "Nomad Digital Residence Programme" is available
for anyone who wants to work in paradise. To be eligible for the visa,
workers must have an income of at least $50,000 per year. They must
also be able to look after any family members on the programme for two
years.

Antigua and Barbuda joins a list of other nations offering people the
chance to experience a different way of life. Countries like Barbados and
Estonia have set up similar programmes recently. Antigua and Barbuda's
Prime Minister said his country had many attractions. It has high-speed
Internet and world-class telecommunications. This means you can work
in any part of the world from Antigua as if you were in your office or
home. The country has great accommodation, amazing restaurants,
beaches, historic sites, beautiful scenery, gyms, water sports, fishing and
deep sea diving.

UK government votes against free meals for poorer children (28th
October, 2020)

The UK government voted against giving children free school lunches during the
holidays. A huge majority of the government voted against giving a weekly food
voucher. The value of the voucher was just $20 per child. The government is now
under pressure to make a U-turn. In the summer, the Manchester United footballer
Marcus Rashford campaigned to get the government to provide school lunches for
poorer children during the coronavirus pandemic. The government made a U-turn
then. Mr Rashford has started another campaign for another U-turn.

The British public is angry that politicians voted against giving the food vouchers.
Many children will not get a proper meal during the holidays. Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said he would not U-turn. He said he "totally understands" the issue of
hunger. Many people on social media said Mr Johnson does not understand because
he comes from a rich family and has always had money. People are angry COVID-19
consultants in the UK are paid over $8,000 a day, but children cannot get a $20 lunch
voucher. Many stores across the UK are banning politicians from their businesses.
