BBC tells parents: Speak to your child in mother tongue before English

Isn't it about time that English was declare/legislated the official language of the UK or Britain or some other subset/denomination?

After all, Welsh is the official language of Wales. England had English as a defacto language only.

It is difficult for me to understand how the immigration people can ask for English to be a requirement for British citizenship and other benefits, if English is not the official language of England/UK/Britain.

I don't believe the Scottish have an official language either, although the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 went some way towards it.

The BBC have been anti British for many decades under the Woke mentality. What they're saying is not surprising. Children in England should be brought up polyglot where possible with English being one of those fluent languages.

Or split languages between parents, so they grow up bilingual

So the BBC finally admits that what they speak in England isn't proper English. Now they should take a look into adopting freedom units of measurement! (I joke. No one likes freedom units.)
