Do you remember when every story that appeared in The Standard was either riot/weapon/drug/Lambeth Council Corruption related, rather than Brixton Village related?
Even I can answer "yes" to that.

Do you think the UK Citizenship for people moving here is relevant?
No, so we can stick in whatever questions we like

yes. it's very relevant. it's not about how long you've lived in the UK, but about one's integration and familiarity with our law and culture.

Do you really think that many know what Ulster Scots dialect is? All they need to do is look up the answer. Doesn't necessarily mean they know what it is

what. you either get the point or you don't but your questions are not the right kind for a brixton citizenship text, just a brixton longevity one.
