I have not bothered to vote, but i ask the questions
Why do most of the Muslim community segregate themselves from the rest of the UK population?
As for creating a fund targeted at Muslim Women to learn English. There are courses run in most towns and cities to teach English to people whose first language is not English.
Creating this separate fund was a home goal for the Prime Minister. But i do agree that all Immigrants should have a reasonable understanding of English within 12 months. I am fully aware that there are some native English who don't achieve this after 12 years of education.
As your self the question. I can go from Morroco on the Atlantic to Oman on the Indian Ocean, or the Gulf. [be it Persian or Arabian.] and get by in basic spoken Arabic; Why?
There has been a £400 in funding for teaching english in the UK over the past few years.
Now a £20 million fund has been created to target Muslim women "to stop them becoming extremists".
I understand the idea of teaching everyone in the UK english (to an extent - age and mental illness are two situations where exceptions may be necessary).
The Prime Minister seriously lacks understanding if he thinks this is an issue of extremism instead one of independence and prosperity.
