Britain: English a Minority Language in Some London Schools
Trumpet ^ | 8-13-09

Pupils who speak English as a first language are in the minority in 13 out of London’s 33 boroughs, according to official figures released Tuesday. Fifty-six percent of children in elementary schools in inner London do not speak English as their first language.

Throughout the country, English is not the mother tongue to one in seven elementary-school-aged children.

Such high numbers of inexperienced, and in many cases, incapable, English speakers is putting a heavy burden on Britain’s education system. Far more disturbing than this, though, is that it shows how much immigration is changing Britain.

The data, from the Department for Children, Schools and Families, shows that around one in five children are from ethnic minorities, up from roughly one in ten in 1997.

“These figures confirm the huge impact immigration is having on our society,” said Sir Andrew Green, from the Migrationwatch think tank. “When government funds are as tight as they are, this is bound to have a negative impact as children with English as an additional language will need extra tuition.”

The situation has gotten so bad that Green warned, “In inner London it’s hard to know who immigrant children are supposed to integrate with since they heavily

They killed their civilization through reckless immigration. England is going out with a whimper.

I watched a documentary last year that showed the UK will be 50% Islamic by 2025 and 70% by 2050. They are finished.

“This is America’s future.”

For a lot of schools in LA, Phoenix, California central valley, etc... it’s America’s present.

Witness the future of America if we don’t resist it.

Britain is giving it all away.

Unbelievable!

Difficult to observe, really.

The one-worlders are happy, I imagine. Until the bodies start dropping, that is. Then they’ll realize how arrogant and ignorant they are. Eh, but what’s another 50 million, give or take, over the course of our bloody history, right?

I don’t know if, in the end, all of this will be looked upon as murder, or suicide.
