The wording of the legislation have the Govt a choice on the language used in the test but it was commonly in Gaelic. no wonder the last Aus PM (actually born in the UK) is so at home in Cameron's company.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656846246448269135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942478546968158905.post-29649485167375491682016-01-23T09:47:42.813+00:002016-01-23T09:47:42.813+00:00Dear Robin,
Congratulations on an excellent piece ...Dear Robin,<br />Congratulations on an excellent piece this week, I agree with every word. I do think government and other bodies should do more to help women - and, indeed others, to learn English. But I think forcing mandatory lessons and tests in the way described risks causing more harm than good.<br />Although I am cautious about accepting unlimited refugees from the Middle East and Africa - not least because we have an existing chronic housing shortage already, the stigmatisation proposed is un-British and probably won't work, either.<br />The real problem in this country is the housing crisis - get that sorted out and worries about immigration and jobs will largely fall away.<br /><br />Robbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942478546968158905.post-82991357352511966992016-01-22T09:51:03.389+00:002016-01-22T09:51:03.389+00:00Once again Mr Lustig is remaining very polite, rea...Once again Mr Lustig is remaining very polite, read "diplomatic". I can only add the word "discrimination".<br /><br />By the way, if it comes to proficiency or nationality tests, I have met quite a number of UK citizens failing them.<br /><br />Think again, Mr Cameron, and stop casing people in boxes. Your next move would not be introducing a mandatory golden crescent to be worn in public or would it?Glenn Vleminckx (Ixelles, Brussels)noreply@blogger.com
