The post you are reporting:
Many could have a British passport, Keith, if resident for at least 5 years, or born in Britain.
This was one point in my previous posts, that many children and youngsters and young adults here are speaking only their mother-tongue not ours as first language, and I'm not too sure how this effects their future work prospects.
Will they know how to contribute towards their own life and towards the greater good of our Nation? Are they benefits-dependent by choice or are they working?
As residents who have chosen to settle among us, they should communicate more with us, and let us know. If they are working, then good and fine, if not, we should be helping them find employment.
All this is unknown to us mother-tongue English-speaking citizens, because of lack of communication, but we have the right to know.
Hence I'm not making statements I can't prove, but would like to know.
Do local councillors of this Ward communicate with these residents, and does local Government think that it is in the children's best interests to learn only their parents' language from small on and not the language of the country they chose to settle in, or are born in?
