To Iftikhar Ahmad

Iftikhar, why should the majority population acquiesce in your ideas by spending their tax payer's money? Britain has immigrants with about 100 mother tongues; if someone wants to immigrate to a country with his/her family, they should be prepared to learn the local language well to contribute to that society, not to speak of improving one's own economic and social status.

If you want to stick to your 'mother tongue', by all means do so and go to a country where everything is taught in your mother tongue, instead of making unreasonable demands on the country at the cost of the rest of the population, to which you migrated out of your own desire and volition.
