I've heard enough episodes of BBC More or Less to ask how far that money will go. The article goes on to add: "The government estimates that there are 190,000 Muslim women in England who speak little or no English." So, £2m into 1.9k, that would work out at...
£10.53 per person!<br class="">

Chump change for populist fluff then, basically.<br class="">
