The new system will be a points-based system with greater rewards given for those who can demonstrate extra proficiency at mastering the English language. Classes will be given and those that have already attended have shown the progress that can be made. Lebanese hopeful Roda Khan said, “I never knew there were so many words to insult women but now I have learned them all. Now as you say in your language, get the fahk out of my face or I is gawn to merk you blood. Is this right?”
New migrants will also be sent on compulsory orientation days in which they will be taught about British history and social customs. However, the project has been criticised for giving a skewed take on British history due to a lack of funds. One example was a recreation of the invasion of the Spanish Armada which featured a gang of hoodies setting fire to a Nando’s. One onlooker was appalled. “It’s just completely unacceptable. I mean, everyone knows that Nando’s is Portugese.”
