Farage Ltd and Similar Watch

I'd like to know that if they are teaching English as a second language, how do they manage to teach the kids all of the other subjects? What language do they teach them in? Do they teach them at all?
I can fully understand why some people on here pick private education and faith schools for their kids, I mean who would want their kids to be the odd ones out in a class full of foreigners?
Who would want to hold their own kids back having them taught English as a second language?

Yes, integration and people learning the native language of the country. That's what you want, isn't it?

It is but how many employers will employ people (who don't have specialist skills) who have limited English? I guess it depends what job it is but not speaking the native language is a huge disadvantage to a child.

I agree, which is why I think this is a good idea. Some kids will start school with limited or no English. In order for them to prosper in school and beyond, they need to be given the necessary skills. That's what an education system is for.
Much as some would like to, we can't put the genie back in the bottle. We have a lot of people in this country whose English might not be great, and they're not going "home" or "back" anytime soon. Seems only practical to me that we help the children gain the skills that will make them valuable, integrated members of our society.

I agree with this totally and this where it stinks of hypocrisy from the people who, on the one hand, talk about their theoretical Liberal, idealistic, multicultural paradise, and try and ram it down everyone's throats, whilst at the same time sending their kids to schools, where there is barely any 'multiculturalism'.

I would have much more respect for people like Nick Clegg if he had sent his Son to a Comprehensive school, full of various different nationalities in his classroom, where many of them could not speak English or used English as a second language. But that is not their way is it. They never practice what they preach. Their way is "Do As I Say, Not As I Do". Nick does of course live in one of South West London's most sought after areas.
 
He also has a house in his constituency in Sheffield Hallam I believe.

By the way there is plenty of multiculturalism in the schools you keep attacking. They aren't white enclaves.

Yes but you get a better 'class' of ethnic minorities at the Religious schools, thus avoiding the riff-raff and the common working class and, as Papper mentioned, the 'under-class'.

Also you dont need to be religious to get into those schools as long as you pretend to be and 'play the game'. I know this for a fact because people who have sent their kids to those sort of schools have admitted it, but surely it's common knowledge anyway ?

As a matter of interest, would they allow anyone in their schools that couldn't speak English ?
 
So you're angry about people being individuals?

Not a lot you can do about that, it's natural selection.

No, just angry about the way the EU has mis-managed the UK Immigration Policy and I think we should be helping our 2.5 Million unemployed back to work before allowing unskilled people and their families into the UK, particularly if they cant even speak English.

After yesterday's radio debate on our membership of the EU, by all accounts it was a clear victory for Farage over Clegg, but then again that wouldn't be too difficult would it.

So you didn't hear it? I'd have thought you'd have got yourself in front of the wireless with the rest of the family and listened to that good old pint drinking, gravel voiced public school boy in a jolly debate about those nasty forin types invading our sweet aging land and raping and pillaging like the vikings from a few years ago.
 
Well, Farage got pulled up on his ludicrous '29 million Romanians and Bulgarians' (more than the combined population of those two countries) are coming to the UK claim, and he then went on to tacitly back Viktor Yanukovych, so if it was a victory for him it was a fairly phyrric one.

Is that all the Europhiles can do now then, take one aspect and twist it out of all proportion ?
Farage did not say that at all and you know it. I suppose it beats talking about the real issues.
 
How do you read 'the EU has blood on their hands for supporting the Ukranian revolution' then? And please don't lecture me on something you didn't even bother to watch.

He came across as a blundering, populist loon. Quelle surprise.
 
YouGov did a poll right after and Farage won that too. It means nothing though. Jeremy Clarkson could have made crass observations and inaccurate generalisations about the EU. It doesn't make him electable. Richard Littlejohn has legions of people nodding along with what he writes, it doesn't make it any more valid.
