I have solved Gordon Brown’s citizenship test dilemma. The one thing the British people can do is queue, and so anyone applying for citizenship should have to stand in a line that shows no signs of moving for at least 2 hours. If they can do this without complaining or pushing in, then they can stay in the country. If they ask for a cup of tea during the wait, we can cut it to 1 hour.
Which brings me back to yesterday’s diktat from the Serjeant at Arms which gives MPs a license to queue-jump. Is this not the most un-British message to send out to the country? Time to take away their passports I reckon.
