Our efforts have produced illiterate louts, an epidemic of obese babies, and old people mistreated in care homes.

You can only conclude that throwing money at the problems only make them worse.

But you've got to blame something because our proud nation didn't suddenly stumble into illiteracy for no reason.

I suspect there is no simple answer, certainly not a political one, Could it have something to do with the country being flooded with immigrants who do the work we used to do, taking away any ambition for the indigenous population to compete?

Let the foreigners work for silly money, we can get more in benefits?

I'm sure I'm wrong, but I can't think of anything else.

all this text speak does not help and the same by rappers, one thing that annoys me is when people write to you in text speak by email, EMR is right this country sadly is full of illiterate kids.

Sky news is doing an immigration feature this week, Interesting stuff.

Education stats in the UK will never look good. Thousands joining the system yearly who don't speak a word of Engish. Similar health stats when the UK lets in people with Aids, TB etc, The same people who run down the education and health stats are the ones supporting unlimited immigration:thumbdown:

How do you explain that education levels have improved in London, the city with the largest numbers of immigarnts yet fallen in " white " working class towns.
Focus less on race and more is happening to schools across the UK.

I don't think too many people have issues with Race.

when I watch programmes about school, some have a better regime than others but I don't know what they learn, for me every lesson should be like an exam, you concentrate, no mobile phones, no chit chat, a little bit of humour yes, but too much leeway is given to kids who don't want to learn

It is sad that TB was beaten years ago in the UK, but now it is back big style, and London is known as the TB capital of Europe, not a title to be complacent about or proud of.:thumbdown:

Yes, remember Ellis Island in America, they didn't let them in. The Eastern Europeans are the ones coming into the UK with it.

Re: British standards ???
 
The usual suspects are back.
Was has TB got to do with falling education levels in the UK.
If the UK is ever going to compete on the world stage and stop importing qualified engineers, doctors etc etc etce etc.
We have to raise the levels across the board.
This is a Britsh Standard that needs raising that everyone should be concerned about.

A freind of mine in the UK told me about her aunt and the family.

They let their council house go, sold their furniture, got rid of pets etc, and went to USA to live.

They got as far as immigration control and were turned back because one of the children had a lung condition, I don´t know if it was TB.

But they did not get in.

They probably did not have a visa a condition of which is a health clearance.
No visa no entry.
Getting permission to live in the US is a very long and complicated business.
Of vourse it does not stop tens of thousands of illegal immigrants arriving every year.
It makes our problems look tiny compared to theirs.

Because of human rights anyone with Aids cannot be deported from the UK, neither can anyone who is Gay and Lesbian who comes from Muslim or some African countries. The number of homosexuals has sure shot up with that loophole:blink:

It seems nobody can be deported, did you see the failed asylum seeker who has lost 5 (I think) appeals to stay in the UK, but is still holding out.

He was told to "get out" on a live TV debate, by a minister.



Great innit?

So now we have it, the reason why educations standards have fallen in the UK is due to gay/lesbian muslims with aids and TB, who are illegal immigrants, living on benefits with adopted underage daughters who they are trying to force into illegal marriages.MM and JT seem to have finally solved all the UK,s problems.

Well apart from the 41 thousand odd who were deported of course (in 2011).

I saw a surprising statistic on the news today. Our immigrants bring 7Billion pounds into the UK every year. It might explain a few things.

I suppose it could just be a couple of Russians.
