“Migrants applying for a British passport will soon have to be able to recite the first verse of God Save the Queen, under an overhaul of the UK citizenship test due this autumn.”
Theresa May will go down in history as a regressive, error prone, homophobic, xenophobic, all the people -phobic Home Secretary.
Essentially, Theresa May is the worst Home Secretary Britain has ever had and that’s how she deserves to be remembered.
This reminds me of the loyalty tests in the United States in the 1950s or the pledge of allegiance in the U.S. I agree that it is immoral. It is definitely just a way to weed out migrants coming to the UK & disregards all other culture.
