No speakie inglishhhhhh. No problem

Its probably a given that if you are here, even if here is in what has become known as a virtual sense, you probably believe in free markets which by their very nature require the free movement of goods, capital & labour. Indeed it probably isn’t just me that wishes that Nu Labour would move … move to a previously uninhibited island somewhere in the South Atlantic but maybe we will have to save that one for the Glorious Day. But we digress.

If you support the free movement of labour then it is implicit within that belief that you don't have a problem with labour moving to this country so long as it obeys our laws, observes our traditions, beliefs & actually works; not sit around all day on social security launching legal aid funded civil actions claiming that their rights have been infringed because you don’t have a 50 inch plasma screen TV. Don’t laugh, it happened at one of Immigration Centre.

Now, its seems that Asian restaurants cant get the staff so they want more low skilled workers to be allowed into the UK

Thousands of protesters in London's Trafalgar Square insisted they were on a mission - to save the great British curry. There was noise, colour and a warm welcome to any curious onlookers who stopped by. These protesters, more than most, appreciated the importance of getting the Front of House right. They were here to complain about immigration rules which, they say, are harming the UK's ethnic restaurants.

OK, but here’s the money quote in the piece
Under the scheme, migrants can only work in the UK if they meet criteria including the ability to speak proficient English. "It's crazy," said Salim Chowdhury Miah, a restaurateur and local councillor from Derby. "My chef can't speak any English, but he doesn't need to. He's there to make curry.

Yet another small example of the harmonious multiracial society that our politic class promised us. If you don’t have enough respect for your host country to learn the language, what else don’t you respect?
