10.9.11 A Matter of Interpretation

In the UK (or should that for accuracy really now be prefixed, so that we refer to it as the NUK for Non-United Kingdom) it is the case that immigration has stretched things to the limit on the language front.  But there are two aspects which seem to receive completely different attention and which highlight the inconsistency with which anything is handled in this country.

The legal system is awash with interpreters, who are called upon on a rolling/permanent basis, to assist with interviews, questioning, trials and all manner of disputes, for the many different nationalities involved.  It is essential, it seems, to cater for speakers of hundreds of languages and dialects, and the expense for all of this is borne by the state.  So, irrespective of whether the UK is the mug of Europe and has no control over its resources after welcoming to this island anyone who can move or be pushed in a wheelchair, even a discussion costs us.  If for example there's a dispute over benefits or housing, and an interpreter is needed, the good old tax payer ends up paying.

Conversely, if I am in hospital, there's a very high chance that the nurse attending to me is unable to speak English.  He or she will be overseeing my health and administering treatment, yet cannot always converse with colleagues, let alone me!  Hopefully I'd be given the right drugs, and in the right quantities - without being killed by 100 milligrammes instead of 100 microgrammes of whatever has been prescribed.  I am only a citizen and taxpayer, and of course am not entitled to any form of interpreter to help me in my ordeal. 

This is another example of an often repeated scenario.  The cunts who run the EU legislate so that it is illegal to insist within the EU that staff can speak the language of the country they are to be employed in.  As a result the useless UK meekly goes along with it, and we're left with an unsatisfactory situation; meanwhile, certain other countries (always including France) completely ignore those rules and insist that their workers can in fact speak the lingo.  So why does the NUK not do the same?  Mugs of Europe
