  Ah no Howard I wouldnt agree with that. English isnt the business language in Berlin or Paris or across Europe. The point is that some people in other countries speak some English..so they can come here and find work. But very few English say could find work in Paris, because clearly their daily language is French, fluent and fast, and they are not going to stop and translate in mid frantic morning, even if some of them and we can emphasise just some..speak English.
  
  If an English person was fluent he/she could do it..so the job opportunities increase hugely. But go along to an interview with no French language and you wont get hired, so you fall at hurdle one.
  
  Try watching a French film and see. I get all the French channels. I probably can do a little bit of pigeon French but overall they are talking away so fast i havent got a clue whats going on, and so it would be in a job in Paris or Geneva. I believe that languages could be very important for the future especially for increased opportunity.
  
  Yes indeed Keef immigrants are required..thats the problem for political parties. They like to say the populist thing on one hand but are stuck because business demands immigrants. Only an hour ago on Radio FOUR Today programme..a leading scientist was complaining that our pharmaceutical research is not producing real advancements in recent years, and his emphasised serious point was that restricting the flow of international scientists is hampering research, and more importantly hampering the development of new drugs to meet the challenge of cancers etc.
