English & How to create ''ghettos'' in Britain

According to official figures, 2.5 million workers in Britain speak English only as a second language:

''The Department for Education figure applies to the working age population - 16 to 60 for women and 65 for men. But this total is unlikely to show the full scale of those who struggle to speak English.''

With more Romanians and Bulgarians arriving in in the new year, there is an increasing risk of linguistic ghettos coming up in British towns.
