Breath of fresh air?
 

I was surprised to read of the Postmaster banning people who didn't speak English from his shop.
I feared that the BNP had bought a post office,but no Siri Lankan born Deva Kumarasiri,insists that all customers converse in English,he embraces the way of life of his adoptive country and states," If things don't change we will see a third generation of immigrants who can't speak English."
Whilst applauding his frankness,can't help thinking he should be wary of the thought police.

If only there were a good few hundred more like him. He's got the right attitude.

This is probably a publicity stunt, and if it is, I hope he makes a fortune out of it, and I hope more like him jump on the band wagon, makes a change from the other band wagon that many ethnics jump onto. :rolleyes:

Yes..makes a change to see a more postive side to the issue of immagrants.

Just read that the owner of the shop(shared by the post office) has said there will be a new tenant by monday!We shall have to see.

Well as I feared, he has been moved on to a predominantly white area so much for free speech!
