At Last, A History Test If You Want To Be British: Migrants Must Prove They Have Studied UK... ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1203857/Title-goes-here.html)
Immigrants will finally be made to take a British history test under plans to slash the number of passports handed out to foreigners each year. It ends a four-year refusal by the Home Office to make migrants applying for citizenship prove they have studied the country's traditions and learnt about figures such as Sir Winston Churchill.
Officials had previously claimed that Britain had 'too much' history and a test would not be fair. Tradition: Would-be migrants will have to prove they have knowledge of historical British figures such as Winston Churchill. The test will be the final stage of a points-based citizenship scheme unveiled today. New rules will also bar migrants who jeer at troops or 'show disregard for UK values' from gaining passports.
Hey, I bet I could pass that one! The Scots are the drunk guys in skirts who throw telephone poles around for fun, right?And the Welsh are the guys who have to get drunk because the English stole all the vowels from their language, The English are the guys drunk enough to understand Shalespear. England is split into two parts named Arsenal and Manchester United, and one of their capitals, London, was named after a small town in Ohio. The other one is in France. Oh, and they like their beer warm because Lucas Electric makes refrigators.:thumbs up
Oh, man, I can't wait for that new passport!:yippee
