Do not repeat yourself. It is rude.
Did you read the satirical riposte to the Cameronistas ? |

Apologies, the forum software was playing up.
I did, but it wasn't funny, although as far as certain Brits are concerned, it's true. However, to be serious, Cameron is right - which is something I haven't said much over the past few years, despite being a lifelong, and active, Conservative! I suppose the problem is that Cameron isn't a Conservative. |

| David Cameron has said that recent arrivals in the UK should learn English or go back home |
Cameron speech about learning English for immigrants was directed to Muslim women.
"Cameron defended his plan to launch a £20m language fund to help Muslim women unable to speak English. He had overseen cuts to funding for language lessons for immigrants."
"The announcement of £20m for English classes was welcomed by Shaista Gohir, chair of the Muslim Women’s Network, but she said “it should be directed at all communities, not just Muslims – and it shouldn’t be linked to radicalisation. People learning English is a good thing, so they know their rights and can participate in society. Cameron says he wants to empower Muslim women. But what about Muslim women who already speak English and still face barriers to participation?”
Cameron’s position criticised
Dr Ed Kessler, director of the Woolf Institute, which convened the recent Commission on Religion and Belief in Public Life, criticised Cameron’s focus on Muslim women.
“It is extremely unfortunate that the prime minister has chosen to focus solely on Muslim women to make an important point about the integration of immigrants,” he said.
