Well, since this thread started, he has lasted just over two days.

How very sad and a dreadful indictment of just how pro-British our establishment really is.

Isn't it?

What do you do for a living? Would you honestly feel comfortable telling someone to go away because they didn't speak English?

I'm not saying I don't agree with the basic principle of integrating, but I'm not at all convinced he went about it the right way.

That's the point you thicko. I can't speak every language so I don't expect people arriving in the UK to be immediately fluent in english either.
no, but you would expect anyone moving to another country to make a concerned effort to learn the language..

unfortunatley, many brits in the south of spain dont realise this either..
Perfectly valid point that. The Costa Brits seem to do their damnedest to avoid actually talking to any Spaniards at all from what little knowledge I have.
I have relatives that live in Spain, and their entire life is effectively Britain with extra sun. I found it a bit sad when they proudly told me that they speak no Spanish at all after 5year plus out there because they simply don't need to.
Not true. I know lots of people that have emigrated to Spain and Portugal, all of them had language lessons for at least a year before they moved.
