By: Sumeet_Manhas

So your virgin Media Hub 3.0 stops working properly, keeps losing it's settings, and so you get an engineer to come out and fix it.
In this video a HUB 3.0 no longer holds it's settings every time it reboots either switched off or after an update.

UK Points-Based Immigration and Its Effect on the Job Market / Personal_Finance / Employment
By: Submissions
When the UK exits from the European Union (EU), freedom of movement ceases, and EU citizens will not be able to come in the UK to live, work or study under the existing immigration rules – and vice versa.
This means a new immigration system will be needed to enable those wanting to come and contribute to the UK to do so. As was proposed in Brexit debates and is still favoured today by the UK Government, a points-based immigration system is likely.
