Nothing odd in Tories cutting English classes while attacking immigrants for not learning language. Labour did same http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6252779.stm …

@JuliaHB1 Wealthy already paid. This cuts off unemployed & refugees. So fine - but don't complain when they can't work or integrate. -
@IanDunt unless asylum seekers, no one coming to this country should be entitled to free language lessons. -
@JuliaHB1 So you accept there should be publicly-funded English classes for refugees? -
@JuliaHB1 cool. So spouses of low-income immigrant workers. Why wouldn't we invest (tiny £45m fund) to make them productive and integrated? -
@IanDunt no, you're tackling the wrong end of the problem - they should not be entitled to live and work here unless they learn English -
@JuliaHB1 well we have free movement and this cut is being made here and now, not in an imaginary world where it doesn't exist.
