UK Citizenship Test Updated
So after much ridicule of the daft, plain stupid and politically “correct” questions in the old Labour government’s so-called Citizenship Test….it has been re-written by the Coalition.
Can we expect questions like “how much does the UK waste each year by belonging to the EU” or “name the religion responsible for the 9/11 and 7/7 terrorist attacks“.
No. Don’t be silly.
Instead we get “Why were recruitment centres set up in the West Indies in the 1950s” and “How might you stop young people playing tricks on you at Halloween“
Welcome to the bright new right of centre Coalition world, eh, folks?
TheEye failed. Miserably. Loss of passport surely beckons.
See if you can do any better here.
19. Which of the following statements is true?
The governing body of the EU is the Council of the European Union The governing body of the EU is the Council of Europe
What happened to “None of the above” since the answer is “bunch of unelected Eurocrats” and the answer to avoid being attacked by children on 5th November failed to mention “beat them severely” as an option.
My ‘citizenship’ is up for review with a score of 14/24 though, to be honest, some of the questions were a bit special interest only.
Really???
Just over 50%? You beat me!
And ‘special interest’…yes indeed…but they shouldn’t be in any way. Which is why it is a disgrace.
Awful, isn’t it?
The truly dreadful thing is that it is true both sides of the Atlantic. It isn’t unique to here.
*sigh*
