Post Office Won’t Serve You Unless You Speak English
Sri Lankan-born Deva Kumarasiri has banned customers who cannot speak English — so they learn the language.He said: “If you come to Britain you have got to speak English. It’s as simple as that.
Deva has refused to serve half a dozen customers since imposing his rule on Monday at his Sneinton Boulevard Post Office in Nottingham.
Deva, who calls customers “Duck” and “Dear” went on: “For instance, an Asian woman came in here on Tuesday and I insisted she spoke to me in English.
“She replied that she preferred to speak in her mother tongue, but I told her that Britain was now her motherland and therefore she should speak English.”
“I decided to make this stand because I think too many British people are afraid to speak up. They are afraid of being branded racist.
“Perhaps it’s a view better coming from a man with my background.”
Afzal Sadiq, of the local Racial Equality Council, said: “The service is there for everybody — not just for everybody who can speak the language. I understand the aspiration, but denying someone a public service on the grounds of language is wrong.”
What do you think? Is Deva right or wrong?
