UK prime minister said Muslim women must improve their English to better integrate into British society, and suggested some migrants could be deported if they fail to speak the language.
Arguing that community cohesion is the best antidote to extremism, Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday pledged to fund English language classes for female migrants. The $28.5-million fund will help tens of thousands of women facing social isolation and discrimination and emphasize that Britain has expectations for those who want to live in the country, Cameron said.
"At the moment, someone can move here with very basic English and there's no requirement to improve it over time. We will change that," Cameron said in a commentary in the Times.
