THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME...?
Useful insight here from the BBC of all places of just how open to abuse the British citizenship test is. Since 2005, most foreign nationals applying for British citizenship have to prove both proficiency in the English language and a knowledge of British culture before their application is successful. But it appears that there are people out there who are prepared to take the test on behalf of others, for the right fee, of course. As one of these culprits puts it,
"With Chinese people, it's not easy for them to tell," he explained. "Normally, they can't tell the difference so we try our best to avoid going into those test centres where there's an examiner who's from the Philippines. Because they are from Asia, it's easier for them to tell the difference."
Utterly cynical, criminal and absolutely predictable - so what has government done to counter it?
