I feel quite a lot of shock seeing well educated Indians and Pakistanis being interviewed and coming across with the most stunningly perfect English, with superb elocution. I see many parents are now sending there (that's a joke!) offspring to the sub-continent for private education. It is a cause of major despair that English is spoken and written far better by foreigners, and the British are now sinking into a morass of uneducated drivel with bizarre accents being thrust in your face everywhere you look. I think it is laziness and plain ignorance, with no desire to improve oneself! As I said, any criticism or suggestion to 'improve oneself' instigates a savage reaction rather than a 'Woops! Sorry! I shall try and improve!' Is anybody going to defend the legacy Shakespeare passed on to us?
Can we get rid of Birmingham, Liverpool and Newcastle though, to give the country a chance?
