The richness of the UK comes from the diversity of its people. Those who speak English and those who are learning, those who contribute in ways beyond language.
Yours sincerely

Your policy assumes that language fluency equals belonging, but history shows that people adapt, learn, and integrate in diverse ways. Just like we have developed a taste for chicken tikka masala, people also love the English language. It's the language of my children.

Integration is not just about language. It's about participation, contribution, and mutual respect. It's about welcoming those who bring value, regardless of their starting point, where they've come from, how they arrived here, or how much they sound like "us"!

Speaking English fluently from day one isn't a prerequisite to working, paying taxes, and supporting communities. We prove that every day in our lives.

@sallyannkelly1.bsky.social has been an important part of my transition to Scotland. That warm Scottish welcome and positive approach will always remain with me. Thank you SallyAnn 🙏.

Yes, indeed they do, if we hold on to "the narrative of possibilities." Thank you for your inspiration. We're still buzzing from your historic visit.
