Author Topic: How British Are You? (Read 797 times)

Programme on Channel 4 last night about trying to assess what Britishness is and integrate people from different backgrounds in Bradford. Anyway they got folk to sit a test similar to the Citizenship test immigrants sit before being allowed to become British Citizens. In the programme 90%+ of white, black and asians who did the test failed. Oh how I mocked........until I did the test too and failed miserably with 58%. Not sure how any of these questions makes (or does not make) you British but it would seem I am as ignorant as everyone else, perhaps I should be deported
Have a bash

They don't use that (or similar) test to determine whether people can come and live here do they?

Given there isn't a "UK" number of bank holidays, absolutely.

12/24. Rejected, it says. You have to get 18 of 24 stupid questions correct to be considered "British"?

You would have to be stupid to believe that this is a genuine survey.

Or it is, in fact, a survey designed and commissioned by the most stupid of people.

Given my opinion of civil servants, I wouldn't rule out the latter.

For the record, if they ever design a true barometer of Britshness, I don't want to be.

The state of Britishness is a forced falsehood, an instrument of state with which to abuse natives.
