why should we tax payers pay for foreigners who come into our country and take our hard earned money. then we the british have no pensions and get hit by every tax coming. foreigners should go home for health treatment, if they live in england they should speak english, why should we pay for the whole bloody world.

What a stupid question.
People migrate to this country to gain a better standard of living, the majority by working for it. As well as this a lot of migrants have skills we lack, for example we did not have enough qualified nurses for the NHS service so therefore we need migration of nurses which we got.
The only part of your statement I agree with is that all migrants should speak the language of the country they chose to live in, however, have you stopped for one second to think how hypercritical us British are when saying this due to the amount of Britain's that migrate to Spain without being able to speak a word of Spanish?
Also the tax issue you made, once they have arrived in this country and been granted citizenship there is no question that they easily pay that tax back in their working life as i would estimate approximately 90% if not more of immigrants work.
In addition, a response so mrckent2000's comment about Pakistan, the majority of immigrants coming to the UK from there are graduates who already speak English and more than likely could out-smart you easily so think next time before saying something like that.

Don't speak English, don't come to England, I assume most people would identify English with England, not Urdu or Farsi.

I agree. It's common courtesy to learn the language of the country you are making a living in.

How I agree with you....I watched the programme too....it was an insult to us Britons that the Governments have allowed this situation to happen.....If they don't want to know about the Country they should leave.
