Baron99   775 #1 Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) So a BBC journalist has uncovered cheating by both a company, (although it does seem more widespread), paid & trusted to run the UK Citizenship Test & the immigrants wanting citizenship & ultimately a UK passport.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-47047719  Those running these companies should have the book thrown at them; heavy fines & prison sentences. Afterall they are being paid public money to carry out these test on behalf of the Home Office.  As for the immigrants taking the tests? The very fact that they are trying to cheat their way to citizenship & a UK passport, should bar them from spending any more time in the UK. Edited February 4, 2019 by Baron99 Amendments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The shocking matter that (cheap or not) uk companies, especially one chosen to do the test is complicit in the deed is far far worse.

I believe an external training company organised the cheating. The contracted test centre weren't complicit (or weren't shown to be) . They didn't do their job properly, by failing to check for electronic gadgets / phonesnin the test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's not as though it has consequences like cheating at a DVLA written test or a First Aid at Work course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BBC, (& me), pointing out the abuse, once again of our immigration system by corrupt individuals from overseas who will appear to go to any lengths to get their hands on a UK passport. Edited February 4, 2019 by Baron99 Amendments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I knew it wouldnt be long before the race card was played. There is nothing racist about being concerned that immigrants are lying and cheating to get British citizenship .
