English
English is not for one in seven primary school pupils across the UK. Figures released show more than half a million youngsters speak a foreign language primarily which accounts for 14.3 per cent of the total.
& I don’t have a massive problem with that just as long as these same said children can speak English to an acceptable standard. In fact there is a part of me I can’t help but feel that it is slightly unreasonable to expect immigrants & their offspring to manage the Queen’s English when very few of of our increasingly dummed down population can claim any degree of mastery when it comes to their mother tounge.
I don’t consider it unreasonable to expect anybody that lives here to speak English & to speak it well. They can also damn well learn to write it as well. That means that every offical form should be in one language & one language only. Would that discriminate against some people? Probably & I couldn’t give a stuff. This isnt say Switzerland or Holland where there is a legitmate need for several offical languages. This is Blighty & we speak English. & the sooner the Georgdies get that into their thick skulls, the better. Be under no illusion, come the Glorious Day, cheekie chapie TV presenters like Ant & Dec will find a space, close to the front of the queue, reserved for them. Champion!
But to return to the central theme here, if ever there was an indicment of the the extent the Government has allowed once Great Britain to become overrun with immigrants who have catastorphically failed to intergrate into wider society, this is it. If these children end up to being unable to speak, read & write English, what will they do when they leave school? Fill in their social security claim forms in some completely incomprehensible language & spend the rest of their lives sponging off the taxpayer?

The real problem is the remedial classes, the ignorant bastards expect the tax payer to teach the language to their kids, this is worse when there is a sufficient percentage of sub humans that the indigenious kids are held back (I am related to a teacher who taught in Southall, the place with street names not in english, in the end thre were no english kids at all)

You're right, this is not Holland or Switzerland. Unlike them the UK boasts 9 native languages, including Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Scots, Scots Gaelic, Gaeilge and of course English. The English Language has been been forced on indigenous minority groups in this country for centuries, and personally I'm delighted English folk get annoyed by so called foreigners. The English have colonized half the globe, and now you get upset when the oppressed follow you home. Also a country that advocates globalization, hence the mashing and dilution of cultures towards an English speaking globalized popular culture. I takes time to learn a language, so get a grip, open your eyes, and have a little empathy for those who must leave their own roots so they can arrive at your dump to make a life for themselves.
