glasgow sheep Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 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 http://www.channel4.com/programmes/make-bradford-british/articles/channel-4-citizenship-test Quote
Tyrant Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 42% They don't use that (or similar) test to determine whether people can come and live here do they? Quote

Tyrant Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 Is it worth reading that or should I just pack my orange luggage set now? Quote

glasgow sheep Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Posted March 3, 2012 Me too but the answer for the bank holidays is wrong Given there isn't a "UK" number of bank holidays, absolutely. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 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. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Presumably Khaledonia will get 100%. Quote
tlg1903 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 42 % Given i don't regard myself as british anyway cant say i give a rats ass I really dont see the relevance of asking the percentage of muslims living in the country Quote
dave_min Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 42 % Given i don't regard myself as british anyway cant say i give a rats ass I really dont see the relevance of asking the percentage of muslims living in the country I got the same score and had the same thoughts. I'm pretty sure drinking laws are different in Scotland and England, so I deserve at least 1 extra point. Quote
Goldie03 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Given there isn't a "UK" number of bank holidays, absolutely. Well yeh but I was allowing for that and it's still wrong Extra one this year Quote
Mentorred Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 33%. Seems alot harder than the questions for becoming an American Citizen. If I remember right I got asked 6 questions out of a possible 100 and they were. What do the stars on the flag mean? Can someone not born in the USA become President? What 3 counties fought against America and the allies in world war 2. What is the voting age in the USA? What holdiay is observed on the 4th of July? How many terms can a US president service? Quote

If you just did that test you should've taken in that it was on the Channel 4 website. Quote
