lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it is sad that education, which we have agreed is the cornerstone and the keystone, is always on very late at night, and that my Government is not here. However, my Government’s representatives are here, and I apologise to them formally: I am wearing the British Presidency tie and I come here and make rude remarks about the British Government, which is offside and I do apologise. I shall try to speak in French. I am not doing so in order to show off, but because the debate relates to the integration of immigrants through multilingual schools and education. ‘The integration of immigrants’ is normal, it is a good thing; ‘through multilingual schools and education’ is a very good thing. Do we really learn foreign languages in our schools? Well, in England we certainly do not. Because the way we teach foreign languages in England is the way we learned Latin and Greek: we are very good at grammar, we are very good at literature: ‘ ’ [For whom are these serpents which are hissing on your heads?] That is Racine. I could say that aged 18. Could I buy a ticket on the metro? No! So how do we integrate immigrants? There is a problem with the word ‘immigrant’. If you look at the history of my country, it was described as an English historian as a history of immigrants – rather shocking. This is not a history lesson, but only two Princesses of Wales were English women: Lady Diana Spencer and Anne Neville. Anne Neville married Edward of Lancaster, the only English king to be crowned King of France in France. I have no time to explain further. The PPE-DE Group supports this report. May I please ask, when we are discussing something serious, that colleagues with a lifetime of experience be given more than two minutes to speak – maybe three minutes?"@en1
