| When was it our responsibility to teach immigrants English? One of Britain's leading businessmen is calling on the government to do more to teach refugees English and to allow genuine asylum seekers to work for the benefit of the economy. Sir Gulam Noon, chairman of Noon Products which is a major supplier of popular ready-made curries to supermarkets, said the lack of English language teaching for refugees meant new arrivals were not integrating and contributing as quickly as they could. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2911263.stm I always though that 'asylum-seekers' were desperate people who were forced to flee the countries they were born-in and loved only to seek TEMPORARY sanctuary in another country? Oh dear, I should have remembered that these 'refugees' are nothing of the sort just MORE PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS under a more PC label       |
