My guess (based on much more flaky knowledge) is that language and culture impact on education as well, isn?t there a school in Derby where English is one of 27 languages spoken?
Oh God that means there would be at least 27 rA's in the school to cover all options.

But seriously it's time for someone to say **** this. English is the language of the country you choose to raise your kids in. So that's what they will be taught in. If you don't like it, you know what to do.

And while we are at it, abolish all faith schools (in the state school sector) of whatever provenance, which will also be bastions of teaching in non domestic languages as well as Catholic priests.

When Urdu becomes the master language and Islam the master faith (ie in about 20 years at present growth rates if the toolmakers son gets his way) this can be reviewed
