[Margaret Pilkington]

Actually I mentioned the fact that literature which was translated into Asian languages didn't work...I also observed that it was different with the Eastern Europeans...the culture is different too.
I still stand by my original observation that learning the language of your adopted country is not helped by providing money for interpreters...it is helped by providing education systems for the economic migrants and their children.....they are also helped by having the appropriate community services which aren't directed just at them, but at the community they live in, as a whole.

Maybe you, in your work, have seen benefits that the EU have provided......I have not seen those benefits......and again my main concerns with this vast conglomeration of european states is that we have no voice to change the things we feel are not right.
It isn't a democracy, it is a bureaucracy which railroads its policies through regardless of thefact that a lot of people do not want these policies.
I recall the Lisbon treaty was thrown out by a number of member states...Ireland being the last one to give it the thumbs down...and how does the EU treat Ireland? It tells it to go back and come up with the right vote.
No I do not trust the EU...and I'm sure that there are many more out there who are in the same mind.
