1. I think all new migrants and refugees under the age of 50 must learn to speak the English language and must be held accountable to do so.
2. We need to be upfront and proud of our own culture and history and the fact that we are happy to absorb cultures of others but expect them to accept and adapt to ours.
Am I out of place when I get upset in shopping centres where there is scarcely a word of English visible on shop windows or on goods inside the shops, and when the staff do not speak English to each other?
