    only just skim read this thread but so far I agree with Soda's last comment.

    Also did anyone see newsnight's report last night about how much tax is spent on translation services for people that don't speak english (it's millions) There was a human rights lawyer making the case for there being no translation as it de-incentivises people coming to the UK to learn english. I'm inclined to agree. They showed parts of the brick lane community who have lived in london for over 20 years and still have zero english.

    Of course this doesn't affect understanding eachother's cultures. We should obviously make the effort to understand new cultures and vice versa, that's what make the UK special.
