Model behaviour

A couple of stories caught my eye today; the first, was the announcement by the Secretary of State for Local Government and Communities, Hazel Blears, that councils should reduce the provision of translation services to immigrants and asylum seekers, as blanket provision of such services was proving a serious disincentive to actually learning English, and thus integrating into British society (the shameless Hazel Blears stole my idea!). The second story was the ongoing prediction of a downturn in the economy and the associated, redundancies, repossessions and austere times that go with such happenings.
