I agree with what Cameron said and it's pathetic that these issues can't be raised without someone jumping up and denouncing him as a far-right extremist.

Populist David Cameron in his speech in Munich is following in the footsteps of the populist Neville Chamberlain who made his famous agreement in Munich .

He could make a start by ordering Government departments to keep all documents and forms in English only, thus cutting the costs of translating into Urdu, Gudjurati, Polish and myriad different languages and directing local councils to do the same.

It could do the same with all NHS sites too. There would be a huge saving by doing that.
Many of the publications for these ethnic groups go unread, because while those groups speak the languages in print, they(in the main) have not been taught to read the written word.
