I dare you to do it and see if you would qualify!

Despite me having doctorate, having been on a jolly decent salary before I left the UK and being a native English speaker, I wouldn't get enough points to immigrate!

(Naturally, I get nul points for age [Frown] I thought there were laws about age discrimination in the UK now?)

Reminds me of the Citizenship test. If you can actually pass it, you must be a foreigner because true Brits certainly won't! [Razz]

Dear Mr Cameron,

Here's an idea for you to save loads of money and get rid of all those people in the UK descended from Johnny Foreigner Vikings, Romans etc.

Make everyone already living in the UK take the Citizenship Test and do the Points Test and boot everyone who fails out on to refugee ships to be moored off Canvey Island barred from (a) working (b) claiming benefits.

When they're all dead, you can sink the ships at sea saving on funeral costs, and then you can start again with a nice clean fresh population of people who do pass the Citizenship and Points tests.

They will of course all be non-native Brits.

Yours sincerely

D. Lee. Mail
