You'll have to forgive me, I've been on hiatus. We immigrants are unreliable that way.

It must be very frustrating if your own child is held back because of language difficulties, due to newcomers lack of English.

It is a big problem in some places.

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.

Importing ???

Then they call themselves British ?

Then you ask about the British standard from the imported persons who then claim to be British ?

Looking at it, and now considering other peoples responses maybe that is the case.

1 in ten now is a immigrant out of work on UK benefits, so I am working to pay for a uninvited guest, I am not happy with the other 9 either, but then the one in ten has a baby or 3, lives at home watching al Jazeera or Polsat and then like 'Me Me' says, when educated brings down the rest of the class as it will never be there number one language and then you can see that 'MeMe and J2' have a really valid point.

When I was at school, I left in 96, this was unseen along with a lot of the other issues that bring bad teaching.

Sometimes I can not understand a doctor, so what is it like for kids with teachers.

Then I guess when you start getting little gettos, or as EMR would prefer 'communities then must be when it gets out of control and then the blame lies at the immigration.

There was no problems like this when I was at school.

You have a point. ...and who do you think suffers the most. The ones in working class areas who are at the bottom of the pile. Not the chattering classes who keep telling us that 500,000 immigrants per year is great! Their kids are sheltered in public schools or good schools in upmarket areas.

Of course the working class are the really the ones that suffer. I have no idea how any teacher could teach a class of pupils of the same age, but such differing language ability.

It must be hard.

So good in fact that this guy is being looked after so that he can "get well enough to be hanged again".

He was executed once, for drug offences, but it did not work, so he is being looked after and once he is strong enough, he will find himself dangling on the end of a rope for a second time.

Not at all. I like and respect people's linguistic differences. You seem to dislike them however, so I was merely pointing out that you have more in common with the ESL crowd than you think. It's all good.

What about the other 8%, are they fence sitters, you know the ones that speak up for gay rights, but in the same breath speak up for islam?

You cannot have it both ways.

A contradiction in terms, because being gay is a big NO NO, as far as the prophet is concerned. And some countries are going to bring in tests to see if people entering the country are gay.

If they are they will not be allowed in.

I wonder what the test will consist of?:)
