dont be silly.

my point is there are too many people on this little island as evidenced by house prices and the ludicrous traffic and the creaking welfare system. whether they pass citizenship tests or not is a real sideshow - the Guardian uses dumbass things like this to manipulate the news agenda and distract attention from the real issues here. (im not saying the daily mail doesnt idiotically try the same thing in different ways).
