Prince Harry

Incidentally, when I became British (having been born a barbarian), there were no pesky exams to pass on how to queue or who burnt the cakes, but I had to swear loyalty to the Queen, her heirs and successors according to law. I assume this is still part of the nationalisation process?

as of a few years ago, there was some sort of exam people had to do for citizenship - one of my then colleagues had moved here from new zealand and showed us the stuff. it included all sort of old balls like what year was the divorce law amended so that whatever could happen - i'm sure the average british born person neither knows or cares.

as i've suggested before, citizenship should be based on a practical and theory test on constructing a full english (or scottish / welsh / irish) breakfast and a pot of tea.

fail to warm the teapot and you're on the next boat out...

:p

It’s expensive too. About a grand if I recall. I think you can only use the official books to study for it. My mate from Zimbabwe went through this a fe years ago.

I woke up this morning at about 6, my phone was still playing lbc after passing out during nick abbot. Richard Spurr was on coming out with some serious vitriol , so I tweeted this

"@LBC I agree with Darren, Richard you sound like a jealous bitter man , you're almost frothing at the mouth. its pathetic and you have just proved his point , you can barely get your words out. Shame on you.'

To his credit he read it out except this bit '
Its' pathetic and he has just proved your point'

Pathetic, What a time to be awake.

Why would you bother tho?
 
Fwiw though, it's not arguing about nonsense on the Internet I don't think is worth bothering with, it's engaging with talk radio hosts who say things on the radio to try and make you engage with them

Yet here you are posting about not being interested in posters posting about it, odd...

Never mind.

I think there's a fairly obvious difference between arguing about stuff on a politics forum and contributing to the engagement stats of a professional controversialist tbf
