It is all part of what we now must expect, now that our country has been turned into a multicultural/multi-racial country.

"//I have done the same myself when dealing with people by telephone....you ask them to repeat themselves because you can't hear and you blame yourself or the environment or the phone line. Its people skills 101 and he should know this.//

Aye, only he wasn't on the phone, see, woofgang.

// Its people skills 101//

There's a better name for it, Dhimmitude.
Because I'll bet your last ha'penny if you were talking to a man wearing a motorcycle helmet and couldn't hear what he was saying, you would ask him to remove it."

No I wouldn't, I would do the same thing...and it works face to face or on the phone.

Do you not want any changes to British/English culture and the British/English race ANOTHEOLDGIT?

[Spicerack]

My bet stands. A child's life could be in danger and you wouldn't ask a man to remove his motorcycle helmet so you could hear what he was saying?
You're making a fool of yourself.

Only changes for the good, and I see very little of them.

The child's life wasn't in immediate danger, it was a GP consultation.

pathetic...getting free treatment and then complain, perhaps she should return to her country of origin and seek treatment, from the local witch doctor.

FENDER, did the report say the patient wasn't British?

But you still need to FULLY understand EVERYTHING so no mistakes are made, we have lots of foreign people in my hospital who don't speak English or English very well so we hire a translator to ensure we get the correct information.

we had a muslim gentleman coming to one of the local hospitals who refusedd to be seen by a female member of staff, i wont tell you why.

[dannyk13]

He was a misogynist?

[webbo3]

Nah.

[THECORBYLOON]

"we had a muslim gentleman coming to one of the local hospitals who refusedd to be seen by a female member of staff, i wont tell you why."

What does that add to the debate?

[douglas9401]

Maybe lifting the veil of insularity would help cut costs in the translator budget.

If folk can't be arsed to learn then they have to face the consequences.

Immigration 101.

pointing out certain sections of the community want things their own way.

[THECORBYLOON]

WEBBO's patient may have had a valid reason but we'll never know will we?

[woofgang]

Webbo did I say otherwise? “The child's life wasn't in immediate danger, it was a GP consultation. “ What I did say it that there is more than one way of solving the problem of the GP’s inability to understand the patient’s mother.

This seems to be about communication and nothing to do with religion, so not discrimination. If I spoke to a doctor with my hand over my mouth, or too quietly, I would expect him to ask for an adjustment. They are trying to help people.

The Mail often uses this sort of headline for stories it want to get people wound up about. I think the word 'could' means 'could if it was pushed to the nth degree but won't, even then'. This paper likes to get people getting irate about all sorts of issues....

[Baldric]

Just refuse to treat these people if they can't conform to this Country's normality, the treatment is free, what more do they want?
