Go British or go home says postmaster

A post master in Britain is causing waves in his Nottingham neighborhood. Deva Kumarasiri is turning away customers who "can't be bothered to learn English," insisting "they must go away and learn it before he serves them."

Kumarasiri feels that as a Sri Lankan, taking a stand against his fellow immigrants -- and turning his back on the tenants of political correctness -- is easier for him. He's free to say what's on the minds of native Englishmen. 

Don't boo our soldiers when they come home from Iraq. Don't live your life without embracing our culture. Don't stay here without making any effort to learn the language. And if you don't want to be British, go home....

"I don't expect immigrants to be fluent in English overnight. Lots of people struggle to master another language but they get much more respect if they at least try. I'm not being a racist, just a realist."

While there's no denying his patriotism, one has to wonder whether or not this will be good for business.
