Common Sense at Last

This statement and the recent one regarding housing is the most common sense I have heard from any government in a long, long time. I know that we British are not known for speaking the language of others but I feel that this is due more to lack of schooling opportunity than disinclination - if children were taught early enough then the nation as a whole would benefit. As for dress - well if you look at any British person living abroad permanently then I'm sure you would see that they have adapted, and as for the Muslim dress - well if we were there then I can assure you that in public we would not have a choice, we would be made to wear it! A relative who has lived and worked in such a country informed me that they had to respect their religious holidays (even fast days), it was frowned upon for their child to celebrate their birthday because it coincided with a regligious holiday of the country, shall I go on? It makes me angry that none of this behaviour happens here, yet we are labelled as unwelcoming and racist. As for the money it costs this country a fortune in health care,housing and benefits as well as interpreters. The quicker we get our borders under control and stop economic migration the better we will be. France has had a language law for immigrants for years - did anyone hear the rest of the world shouting unfair?
