EDUCATION, IMMIGRATION, STUDENT VISA SCAMS. WHAT NEXT? HOW ABOUT A FIRE SALE?

It wasn’t long after I arrived on these shores that I discovered and was vocal about, what I perceived to be the giving away of this country.  It wasn’t rocket science or a great mental leap of any kind.  It was just obvious.  I suggested to some friends here that if Brits were in so big a hurry to give away their country, and it seemed to be that way, then why drag things out?  Why not just put the country up for sale on eBay and be done with it quickly. 

The town where pupils speak 150 different languages

By Daily Mail Reporter

Schools in just one town are having to cope with pupils who speak 150 different languages, a survey has found.

They range from the Ghanaian dialect of Akan, through the African language of Chichewa and the ancient Aztec tongue of Nahuatl to the Indian language of Telugu.

This is as well as the more common foreign languages of Urdu, Punjabi and Polish.
The survey in Reading, Berkshire, shows how schools are being put under mounting pressure by the rising levels of pupils who do not speak English as their first language.

White Cliffs of Dover to be sold to the French to help reduce Government’s debt

By Vanessa Allen

For generations Dover has stood as an indomitable symbol of Britain’s freedom and independence.

The town, with its white cliffs, port and sprawling castle stood at the very edge of the nation’s frontier with the Continent.

But now part of that proud history is up for sale and the leading bidder is revealed as the former age-old enemy – France.

The Port of Dover is being recommended by Government advisers for sale to the French authorities.

It is one of a string of public assets which have been earmarked for privatisation as the Government battles with a record £830billion national debt.

The proposal for the port has prompted outrage.

Prospective Tory MP for Dover Charles Elphicke said: ‘It’s clear Gordon Brown has no sense of the history of our nation or the pride of our town.

‘How dare he consider selling it all off to the French? Dover is the English border. The people of Dover have a clear message for him – hands off our port, hands off the English border.’

Oh heck. Just can’t resist one more example, not related to first story at top, which I suppose makes it even worse. And ppl have to be soooo careful when using words as you can all imagine.  Use the wrong pc word or phrase and naturally it goes from being a scam to a bad racial attitude.

New promise to end student visa scams: But the Tories jeer ‘haven’t we heard it all before?’

By JAMES SLACK

Alan Johnson yesterday promised yet another crack down on the rampant abuse of the foreign student visa regime.

The Home Secretary said tougher rules would be introduced requiring applicants to speak English to near-GCSE level and ban those on short UK courses from bringing dependents.

Officials claim the new regulations will lead to a sharp reduction in the 240,000 student visas currently issued by the UK each year - the equivalent of one every two minutes. But the Conservatives accused the Government of ‘floundering around’ as it sought to correct its own mistakes.

Bringing “dependents?” Students have a crying need to bring dependents?  Jeesh.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
