The country only has 14% with recent immigrant heritage so this has to be hogwash as well.
This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time
"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"
Chair says "have English as a second language"
Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

The Voith-Schneider Propeller is a vertical-axis marine drive whose spinning blades change pitch continuously, letting a ship generate instant thrust in any direction, like a helicopter rotor underwater. Super-maneuverable, perfect for tugs and ferries.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.

His God had him shot, and he was saved by SEVEN hours of surgery - free on the NHS.
And he is allegedly “considering” moving to Israel (the “Holy Land”!) where healthcare is NOT on the NHS.
Good luck with that reasoning mate.
If he does move, UK should ask for his NHS surgery fees back!!
