A Britishness test means nothing. What does need to happen is that people from societies that a not similar to English need to be made aware that they are no longer in crapblackistan and that things are done differently here. Just how a Britishness test would achieve this is lost on me.

'Britishness test' for imams is abandoned

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...943887,00.html

"PLANS to force foreign-born imams to take a “Britishness test” were scrapped yesterday in the second climbdown in less than a week on proposals to tighten scrutiny of mosques.
The Home Office dropped the idea after opposition from Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. Five days ago Tony Blair’s plan to give police the power to close mosques suspected of having extremist links was ditched after opposition from Muslim leaders and the police.

The latest retreat came after protests from Muslim leaders and other faiths who objected to a Britishness test being made part of immigration laws. An estimated 85 per cent of the 2,000 imams working in the UK are foreign-born.
