And the schoolchildren in Beijing or Brazil being taught by British teachers?
The patients in Syria being treated by British doctors?
Can the British journalists living in Iraq can integrate with locals?

Unless you think these people (and the thousands of others I've not mentioned) should all be fired asap, your point is hypocritical.

No they dont. If you want to apply for a TEFL in any country tomorrow, you can. Learning the language is not a requirement.
"Life being in danger" is a weird get-out clause that youve made up on the spot right now to try and piece together your strange argument, which is still hypocritical.
plenty of doctors choose to treat abroad throughout their life. Learning a language is not their priority, perfecting surgical procedures is.
Holiday reps, waiters, and bartenders and those in plenty more lines of work often choose to live in exotic countries throughout their life, and it is not mandatory for them to learn the language.
I dont think it should be mandatory either, they are providing a service, and thhey are presumably good at their job. Its a brave move, and good luck to them.

There is a reasonable threat of danger in every coutry, for natives, and migrants. Knowing or not knowing the language doesnt detract from this. Its a weird argument to make in a serious discussion.
If you dont believe that people should learn the language if they move to a country where they are under threat, then the thread can be closed. Its clearly never mandatory.

It is a valid argument to make actually
