      I can't help thinking #Brexit is about lack of eduction in UK. Most Brits I met lack even fundamental knowledge in any foreign language.

      @tggleeson But the Irish have been underdogs for 100s of years and are spread out all over. Huge mentality difference.

      Replying to @andersostlund

      @andersostlund Yes, but nothing to do with language, speaking a world-used language like English can actually help understand others.

      @tggleeson Of course. There is no arguing about that. But please try to get a job in Sweden without speaking Swedish.

      Replying to @andersostlund

      @andersostlund Indeed, but you could get a job in London or Dublin without English, as thousands of East Europeans have proven.

      @tggleeson In banking, consultancies, big corporations? Probably the East Europeans speak enough English to get by though.

      @andersostlund Obviously not banking, talking classic entry-level emigrant jobs. Point is being English-only doesn't make for inward looking

      @tggleeson Not as a mentality surely but it makes it much harder to follow international news. Try to follow anything from Sweden.

          @andersostlund But even if UK had high level language skills how many would learn Swedish or Finnish?, French, Spanish, German maybe.

          @tggleeson Swedish if of course low-ranked, Finnish impossible to learn. But to have a few languages in common would help.

          @andersostlund There's the rub, we do, it's called English. If it was the middle ages it would be Church Latin.

          @tggleeson Well, yes. One solution could be to push English much harder all over EU. That would work I think.

          @andersostlund While those less educated (in general, not just lang) fear this global economy and especially the migrants it brings.

          @tggleeson Absolutely. Many fear global competition and see no place for themselves there. Populists exploit this.
