Needs "Hurl Alert DefCon 1"
What did His Excellency the Vice-President say after unloading on [and supposedly oppressing] a senator [was it Leahy, or Biden?]? Something on the lines "I feel so much better", IIRC.
Huh? You're in a country, so learn to speak the damn language. I spent 15 years in Germany and didn't expect them to cater to my native language. My various dealings with the government were all in German, and it was my problem if there was something I didn't understand. In the early days I felt ashamed when an English-speaking German had to help me out (not that they were there to speak English, I just got lucky that they did).
The only concession to English was products I bought that were sold EU-wide, so they had text for the UK.
We need to go to the Swiss system, where immigrants get kicked out if they can't learn the local language in a reasonable amount of time (conversational, not necessarily fluent).
