No, the test should only be for the English language. All immigrants should be able to speak a basic level of English to ensure they can survive.
@9HWWBHD11mos11MO
Yes, but it should only cover what the UK education system covers at basic schooling level, as most, if not all UK citizens, would fail a UK citizenship test.
@9HRF68M11mos11MO
Realistically a lot of immigrants do not know how to speak english in the UK. However, they tend to be the hardest workers in the UK and contribute to society.
@9GL5LS61yr1Y
Yes, but make the test more on living in the UK and life in the UK, rather than British culture. You can still include British culture, but the test should mostly be based on living in the UK and life in the UK
@9GX4DVN1yr1Y
Only simple language and government testing should be performed. The British public couldn’t tell you about our history.
@9GMW46B1yr1Y
History shouldn’t be included as even some uk citizens don’t even know the history of the uk e.g. what happened in Constantinople
@Neversure3yrs3Y
Yes but ALL citizens should take it
@8ZNL4RH3yrs3Y
No because I can’t say Worcestershire
