The other side of immigration
A House of Commons study recently revealed that the highest number of women who are non-skilled and un-educated are Muslim and Bangladeshi. They can’t speak English and hence are isolated. Simple tasks such as going to the doctors is difficult and the women take their young children, sometime as young as 4 years old to translate for them.
There are incidents where a girl of three has to speak to the 999 team and explain that her brother has collapsed. Why this reluctance to learn the language? I have spoken to some husbands who declare that learning the language and going out of the house will “spoil the women”. They will be corrupted by being westernised.

Early training for the 4 years old to become a doctor.
I think certain chauvinists are scared shitless about women’s progress.
Maybe, if they learn English, they will get a white boyfriend and leave their chauvinist husbands.
What a load of crap men say to women to control them.

What I find really appauling is how you see this among educated Bangladeshi men living abroad. They are very insecure and often take the cover of religion to keep the women under their thumbs.
