And don’t think your GCSE French will get you in either because they are pretty specific about what they want.
Here they are:
Yoruba (Nigeria)
Hebrew
Arabic
Hindi
Punjabi
Italian
German
Turkish
Greek
Spanish
Polish
Portuguese
Sinhali (Sri Lanka)
Bengali
A spokesman from the Met told Metro.co.uk that this current recruitment drive will last about four weeks.
At that point they said they will review the policy.
The drive has been launched to help officers better interact with London’s ethnically diverse communities.
However interestingly enough neither Somali or French are on the list.
Somali is the capital’s third most spoken language and the London is the sixth biggest French speaking city in the world.

When Britain leaves Europe, then trads must go after Londonistan, and purge it.
Urdu will be very useful during civil war, and easy for you given your ethnic background.
You figure?
Anyway, I’m Canadian, not British, so not my problem.
