i dont think many from and party would pass the test at all, never mind just him,

For :censored: sake. "magna carta" is latin, he went to ETON, he had a privileged education, if he can't even remember this simplest of latin phrases................

No chance.

To be honest, I thought he might have known the bit about the Magna Carta.

[Iani]

He probably thinks "Magna Carta" is a brand of ice cream

Hmph :rolleyes:... I didn't study Latin (wasn't considered "bright" enough, academically) and I suspect few of us had the privilege of attending schools remotely like Eton. But I'll wager :REGamblMoney01HL1: MOST [Brits] could correctly answer when 'Magna Carta' was signed. And yet Cameron - the man that dreamt up the :idea: of introducing such banal and topically irrelevant material to the 'Life in the UK Test' - floundered rather embarrassingly on being confronted with this most basic of historical questions.

I know one test Cameron would'nt pass, that's a lie detector test:NoNo:

The turn coat according the the rags today says he will give Britons the opportunity to change the UK's relationship with the EU....note he said change and not bin.

Where have we heard this before:rolleyes:..I wouldn't trust that excuse of a leader as far as I could spit:NoNo:

Btw ....perhaps if Cameron lived in our real world....a world folks are battling for jobs and houses against the ever rising influx of new European non speaking English with no ties to our country at all, im sure he would change his tune...
