A FURIOUS caller left an LBC host shocked after he suggested foreign languages should be ban in the United Kingdom.
LBC caller suggests BANNING 'foreign talkers' in UK
The caller, known only as Paul, from Romford, left Ian Payne shell-shocked after he claimed he was uncomfortable when he heard people not speaking English.
This comes as a trio of senior Berlin MPs have proposed reducing the importance of the English language in Brussels after Britain leaves the European Union.
The three politicians said it would be “a good thing” if the influence of English is diminished after Brexit, with German and French becoming more prominent.
Discussing the use of foreign languages in Britain, the LBC caller said: “You might be standing somewhere in public and people are checking you out wanting to rob you, just talking blatantly in front of you in their own language and you have no clue what is going on.”

Paul added: “You know when you go into a shop and they are talking in their own language, you don’t know what they’re saying about you – it’s offensive.”
Left virtually speechless by his guest’s comments, Payne proceeds to ask the caller whether he would ban anything but English being spoken in public.
His guest replied: “Unless they’re on holiday or anything like that, then yes.”

The host, however, was eventually critical of his guest’s comments.
Payne added: “Paul, Paul – listen to yourself. Two people speaking a foreign language and they might be talking about robbing you… come on.
“They could be, but they probably aren’t. They might be talking about the price of the oranges.
“Have you been robbed by foreign people talking in a funny language?”
The caller claimed his friends had found themselves in that particular situation.
Payne concluded: “I don’t think you can introduce a law so you have to speak English in public or on a building site.”
