It is hard to argue against his point.

From: GC Wright, Church Fenton. [Yorkshire Post.]

'To the best of my knowledge, the Government does not exclude incomers from learning English.The fact is, unlike virtually all other countries, Britain stupidly, and at taxpayers’ expense, provides money for multi-translations and courses for those too idle or stupid to bother to learn the indigenous language by their own means.
I admire those who come to this country and contribute to society, and I am always particularly impressed by those from the Indian sub-continent, many of whom speak impeccable English, far better than a good proportion of the populace.'
