nice one…i got 11…but then again i did guess most of them.

Yeh I saw this earlier today, I managed a score of 9. With probably half that were guesses. Only a few of those questions were really relevant for living in the Uk though.

what a crock of shit

scary shit, nonetheless

like someone needs to know that the origins of father Christmas are German / Swedish to be a valuable member of society

I can’t believe the government are wasting time and money on this shit :rant:

I got 9 – and only because I guessed some and also can pick out “whitehall/public sector speak” due to my day job and know “what the right answers are”

I’d also challenge the mains voltage answer as the declared mains voltage of all EU areas is 230V …

I do support the idea of citizenship training to an extent; there are still many good things about Britain such as our diversity of cultures and a higher level of gender and social equality than many other nations (you may not think so but there are far worse countries to be than Britain)…

these positive aspects should be taught to citizens (particularly gender equality and how to access health services particularly primary care, family planning and children’s health services) – but not just immigrants, all citizens of the UK whether originally born here or not.

but this could equally be done by “leading by example” via the BBC etc…

and as others said many questions are totally irrelevant and their tone far too flippant [although that could be the BBC report trying to inject humour].some of these questions just seemed to be dreamed up to stress the immigrants a bit more, and to have a dig at Europe in the process…..

I think using this “multiple choice pub quiz” to decide a life-changing event such as whether someone can enter a country or not is completely inappropriate…

I got 13, but then i have got a shaved head and tats and i wear clumpy dm’s!! – joke people! i’m just a sponge for usless info over the years. (but i do have a bald head)
