   “Andrew Carter, leader of the Conservative group on Leeds City Council, condemned the move: “I don’t see how it’s going to be of any use to these young people who will need to be employed to not have English as their first language,” he said.”

   That would sadly only be true if a) they wanted to be employed instead of welfare and b) if they were going to join an english-speaking workforce in the future. Last i checked, there’s plenty of mohammeds and iqbals coming up through the ranks being taught that whitey’s culture is shit by their people and plenty of whiteys.

   Sadly i’m surprised they’re even going to teach English, i would have thought they had thrown in the towel years ago, given the drift to sharia, genital mutilation and such multi-culti adventures.

   All true enough, Matt. It’s a sad thing to watch.

   Ole’ Henry was on to it in 1014.

   “They were Henry Ford’s personal morality enforcers, making sure that everyone who took one of his paychecks lived up to his standards. Those standards included patriotism and assimilation, especially when it came to language. This wasn’t just a wanton disregard for other cultures (though that wasn’t not a part of it), but rather a safety issue. In a time of massive amounts of immigration from Europe, all Ford workers had to speak English. On the factory floor, a simple miscommunication could get someone killed.”

   A lot of people mistake Ford as being progressive.He was not,he simply did what he need to to build an industry.
   It’s a common misconception that most European immigrants were factory workers or even skilled tradesmen,they were not.
   The European tradesmen and factory workers that did come over first landed on the East coast and the cream of the crop was taken off there.Places Like New York,Rhode Island,New Jersey,New Hampshire and Vermont were already manuafacturing and export hubs even then.
   The vast majority of immigrant workers in the midwest were stump dumb sod busters and haddn’t a clue about building cars or tool and die making.
   Ford had to build his factory and his workforce.One of the first things he did was setup trade school and apprenticeship programs to train the workers he hired.
   The left absolutely despises Ford and the labor unions even more so.The Unions go so far as to claim credit for may of the things that Ford implemented.The 40 hour work week,paid vacation and sick leave,uniforms and safety training were all Ford ideas.

       I’m not sure if he was the first in the world with the 40 hour week,but he was the first large US employer to do so and he did it years before any union or government offical thought of it.

     What fantastic news! Shooting a bunch of Jihadis would be great sport but I’m not really in a financial position to be travelling the world to do it, nor do I care to join the Army and be shackled by their ROEs.

     Now the Jihadis will be just around the corner, ripe for the plinking, and I’ll be home in time for supper.

     THAT, my friends, is what you call progress.
