Wednesday 4 November - The Great British Citizenship Test – 4 years on
November 2009 is the fourth anniversary of the introduction of compulsory Citizenship Tests for immigrants seeking British Citizenship. For the past four years wanna-be citizens have had to prove their suitability as British citizens by sitting a test on British culture, history and politics. But can a multiple-choice test define what it means to belong in and contribute to a country? Is a good citizen one with a high test score or one who knows that standing on the left on escalators is bad? The Manifesto Club have adapted the official British Citizenship test into a gloriously bizarre pub quiz – come and join in the fun and find out whether you would pass or fail! The debate about true citizenship starts here. Doors open 7pm. Test begins 8pm. A Manifesto Club event in association with Kensington and Chelsea Arts Service, and with collaboration from St. Pierre & Miquelon. |
