Re: Support For Migrants

Some friends of ours emigrated to France - they took French lessons and don't expect people to speak English on their account. I think you'll find Roy doesn't expect interpreters everywhere he goes in Russia either. But here in this country we provide interpreters for every immigrant group. It does seem topsy turvey. I used to praise the Polish immigrants of past generations for learning English and settling in and integrating whilst still retaining their identity and links to their origins. It was a balance. Unfortunately it's all one-sided with the latest batch of immigrants.
