Wow 42 different languages? Unless all the children are super intelligent. This is crazy! America and Canada have large English speakers with Americans also speaking German and of course Spanish and in Canada many speak French.

The reality is that most folk who make such claims, spend most of their free time down the pub getting pissed.

Yissachar1 makes some good points in this thread.
First. the PM is repeating something he said when in opposition. His party has been in government for a short time, so we can only wait and see if he practices what he preaches. I hope so. In my own work I have had to deal with "bogus" immigrants playing the system (they either used the education route or the family of an EU citizen rights route) and it is a big scam.
The left wing media has gone crazy on this today - specifically BBC and Guardian. Most of the people vox pops the media has bothered to ask Q's regarding this were from immigrant families (from what I heard anyway). An example would be a guy complaining that Cameron wants immigrants to learn English (woah) and how did he expect this to happen when cutting public services and English classes/colleges - well.....I was pretty dumbstruck. I didn't realise that it was the responsibility of the govt to fund language classes for immigrants. WTF.
