Indian couple challenge UK immigration law

[somebody]

In the 15 years that he thought he might end up coming to the Uk he never thought to learn English

Maybe he has and its like my Tagalog (ie a small child level) but if i was to go to pinas with the intention of staying more than two weeks I would get it up to at least a 10-12 year olds level I can't remember the level required of English but its not that high i believe..

I have seen people suffer because they can't speak or read basic English in the UK over simple things like traveling around their local town or purchasing food

I agree with this point.
This case has many similar 'odd' issues and is not as straightforward as is being reported.
