English for England

since the revelations about the office of an MP being raided and the debates which have followed I thought that I would go into the Parliament web page so that it was possible to watch everything live, I know how sad.

What struck me however was the information which was available, notably the booklet 'You and your MP'. Now this is available in 16, yes 16 languages, and apparently it describes the role of an MP and how they can help their constituents. I will of course be reading a copy with interest but I thought also that I would list the languages:-

Arabic
Bengali
Chinese (Traditional)
English
French
Gaelic
Greek
Gujarati
Hindi
Punjabi
Somali
Spanish
Turkish
Urdu
Vietnamese
Welsh

How much could be saved by just having everything fully explained in English and no other language. Why are we paying to have all these translations, I think that in these financially straightened times we ought to stick to nothing but English.

Either that or should your blog be available in all the above languages? No other language than English for England. If people can't be bothered to learn the language then tough. Stay ignorant.
