Always ironic that Farage, moans about the state of the Uk economy when Brexit is the biggest single factor that has negatively affected it. Has made an issue out of a small problem, small boats, yet Brexit is the reason they are being used.

Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics found that, by 2035, the UK is anticipated to have three million fewer jobs, 32% lower investment, 5% lower exports and 16% lower imports, than it would have had been. The report states that the UK will be £311bn worse off by 2035 due to leaving the EU.

Got your threads confused, GP. Swale makes a perfectly valid Brexit point and you reply with something that belongs on ‘One liners’. Weird.

Makes me laugh when Farage complains about children in schools who 1st language isn't English yet his children's 1st language isn't English

Amen to that, although most kids I taught had Dutch as their first language.

Interestingly, when kids of Moroccan descent first attend secondary school over here, they speak perfect Dutch with a Dutch accent. Nurture, aka contact with older kids of similar descent on the streets, by the end of the 3rd year, start of the 4th, they have a very pronounced Moroccan accent. Works well on the street but is a disadvantage when seeking employment as the Cloggies interviewing them have difficulty understanding them as there's lots of slang, known only to street kids, that the interviewer simply can't follow.

Going back to the recent discussion about fee paying schools, such schools in UK have no obligation to take on non-English speaking students, I will give credit to a number of Chinese ex colleagues who ensured their offspring were bilingual (and understandable accent wise) by preschool age, Chinese seem to have some inate skill in this area
