SHOULD ALL SIGNS IN BRITAIN BE IN ENGLISH?

Saturday December 8,2007


SO much information is being translated for migrants that they no longer need to learn to speak English, a minister finally admitted yesterday.


Now town halls have been ordered to stop automatically painting foreign languages and to think twice before translating any documents.

The move comes after the Daily Express revealed that experts fear the annual translation bill to the taxpayer could be as high as £500 million.

So do you think signs should only be printed in English? Should immigrants make an effort to learn the language of our country? Are the Government wasting our money?
