David Cameron plans to strip welfare handouts from immigrants who cannot speak English.

In a radical bid to slash Britain’s benefits bill, the Prime Minister intends to stop printing welfare paperwork in foreign languages and prevent claimants using taxpayer-funded translators at benefits offices.

David Cameron is obviously a racist of the first order. Sarcasm off. When they call him a racist, I hope someone tells them where they can stuff it.

If only the US would do this, as well as stop printing election ballots in other languages.

I’m interested in many topics and you certainly haven’t searched good enough if you think I’m not interested in anything but Putin.

BTW, your post is clearly off-topic, but I’m pro-Free Speech so you are free to post whatever you wish.

Seemingly silly. But I admit ignorance of the political details...

Does the UK print multi-lingual? Is the UK taking full-force action against Sharia? Is it addressing skewed population growth?

“... stop printing election ballots in other languages.”

Since only citizens have the right to vote, and to get citizenship, one must know English, why in the world are we printing ballots in other languages?

You can relax - Queen Elizabeth is handing over some of her responsibilities to her genius son, Prince Charles. He should become King and wind up like the FIRST King Chrales.

I should have been figured out. Muslims are most likely exempt from Cameron’s proposal. They are Poles who are stealing jobs Brits won’t do. Muslims don’t need no stinkin jobs and vote liberal all the time.
