Union leader says cancelling religious holiday dating from 1600s is threat to Danish welfare modelThe Danish government’s plan to abolish a public holiday to help fund the defence budget amid the war in Ukraine is putting Denmark’s cherished welfare model at risk, the country’s biggest trade union confederation has warned.“It’s a big threat to the Danish model,” said Lizette Risgaard, the head of the FH confederation, which has 1.3 million members in a country of 5.9 million inhabitants. “Politicians should stay out of labour market issues.

- Twenty-six courses, £400 bills, artichoke creme brulee… I won’t miss super-luxe restaurants | Jay Raynerby Jay Rayner on 15. januar 2023 at 13:17
Top establishments such as Noma are closing. They were fun for a while but we’ve had our fillIn 2007, for a book on the world’s luxury restaurant economy, I undertook what I called the high-end Super Size Me. In the 2004 documentary, Morgan Spurlock ate McDonald’s every day for a month to see how it would affect his body. The high-end version involved me eating in a Parisian Michelin three-star restaurant every day for a week. Back then, talking about this stunt felt like a boast; now, it feels like a confession.I won’t pretend it was all terrible. There was an extraordinary pea dish at Restaurant Guy Savoy, which elevated the humble legume to god-tier status; at the tiny L’Astrance, there was the most spectacular chilled tomato soup. But for all these bright spots there were also disasters: langoustines on sticks wrapped in brackish sea-water foam at Ledoyen, an appalling artichoke creme brulee at Le Grand Véfour that was split. But what really stayed with me from my grotesque endurance feat was the unreality of this kind of high-end restaurant: it’s grim, preening, massively unenjoyable artifice. And if a meal out isn’t enjoyable, what’s the point of it? My love affair with the finest of fine dining began to crumble.Jay Rayner is the Observer’s restaurant critic Continue reading…
- ‘We have to rethink the industry’: fine dining’s future in doubt as Noma calls it a dayby Jon Henley Europe correspondent on 13. januar 2023 at 11:27

- Best films of 2022 in the UK: No 4 – Fleeby Benjamin Lee on 20. december 2022 at 6:00
An immensely powerful, humanising documentary about one Afghan’s escape from 1980s Kabul, made all the more thrilling and suspenseful through its animation50 best films of 2022 in the UKMore on the best culture of 2022It’s a genuine thrill to encounter a film as exciting and immediate as Flee. The true story at its centre is a harrowing and suspenseful refugee narrative of loss and resilience, and director Jonas Poher Rasmussen could have brought it to the screen in many ways, almost all of them conventionally easier than the one he finally chose. Rasmussen’s friend, known in the film as Amin, is an Afghan refugee who agrees to share how he made his way from war-torn Kabul in the 80s to now, living a settled, open life in Denmark as a gay man, one he’d never thought was possible.In animating the interviews with Amin and the various events being recalled, Rasmussen finds an unusually immersive way to pull us in even closer, one that’s both emotionally involving and artfully realised. Amin’s childhood, as with many others like him, was interrupted in the late 80s as conflict forced him and his family to escape their home, finding their way to Moscow. Continue reading…

- Class, not parents’ place of birth, determines the life chances of ‘first-generation locals’ | Torsten Bellby Torsten Bell on 18. december 2022 at 9:30
A Danish study shows that children of migrants do better than ‘natives’ when socioeconomic background is appliedHow should we refer to the children of immigrants? The traditional answer is “second-generation immigrants”, yet “first-generation locals” is far more accurate, as a new research paper co-authored by Alan Manning, one of the UK’s top economists, points out.It has more to offer than linguistic improvements. In the US, first-generation locals generally do better than the children of locals. But that’s prompted a puzzle, because in European countries that is often not the case, with the children of migrants having below average educational and labour market outcomes. This has prompted worries from the left about discrimination and from the right about a lack of integration.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

- Ghost farms: the mink sheds abandoned to the pandemicby Tom Levitt on 14. november 2022 at 7:00
More than 1,000 mink farms in Denmark were ordered to close over fears a Covid mutation was a risk to human health. Two years on, most will never reopenPhotographs by Agata Lenczewska-Madsen.The farm is quiet. Martin Merrild is sweeping leaves. Behind him is a row of 20 large sheds – all empty. Two years ago, his farm near Hjerm in West Jutland had been home to 15,000 mink, a small carnivorous mammal bred by farmers in individual cages before being skinned for its fur.Since he started mink farming almost 40 years ago, Merrild’s life had revolved around a yearly cycle.
