Thread: Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English

Why do I get the feeling that this wouldn't change things all that much?

"Meesta! Meesta! I a-know Eenglish now! I deed eet!"

*Rolls Eyes* "---That lawn isn't going to mow itself, Jose!"

*Comical, decending notes on a trumpet with mute are heard*

ok here goes, this is an emotional topic and yes I can understand it....the UK and most of Europe is experiencing the same issues as there are no borders in the EU anymore, free travel etc, this has made a similar employment situation as it has here too.

Speak english....yes....should or shall...well thats debateable, i dont care, but you must try hiding behind a language is all to easy for some people, however not everyone is like that,my english is my native tongue but i live in the south now so you can imagine how I feel sometimes...lol

In short , yes i get ticked off with it....this topic can take many turns....but i do believe as a person who works for a living, pays tax and recieves benefits through working, that all people should try...on the downside of what I said if Im laid off I recieve NOTHING...NADA...ZIP....IS THAT TRULY FAIR i WONDER.

I love it here and dont mind the extra effort it takes.....

my tuppence worth, simon
