Park Life 71 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 What should the questions be on a UK citizenship test? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/18/switzerland-puzzles-over-citizenship-test-after-lifelong-resident-fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 ''A number of cases have drawn attention to the arbitrary nature of the Swiss naturalisation process in recent months. In January this year a Dutch woman had her application turned down for a second time because local residents objected to her campaign against cowbells. And in May 2016, a Kosovan family who were long-term residents of the canton of Basel-Country had their application for citizenship opposed by the residents’ committee, in part because they wore jogging bottoms around town.

Renton 24209 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 A Ukrainian colleague of mine showed me his britishness test once he had to do for citizenship (I think). It was genuinely difficult, don't think most Brits would pass it. Had some weird questions like how to wire a plug. Which is odd, as they are all moulded nowadays I thought.

Expand It's so antiquated. They should just be interviewed by someone with a bit of common sense.
