Migration minister Mike Tapp failed a UK citizenship test question before insisting he is a "proud Brit." Speaking at a parliamentary committee on settlement, citizenship, and integration on Tuesday, 10 March, the Labour MP for Dover and Deal admitted he did not know the height of the London Eye - one of the questions in the official UK citizenship test. "I am confident that I would be able to pass the test, I'm a proud Brit," he added, but promised to "take a keen interest" in knowing the answer "when it comes up again" in the same meeting next year. Chair of the committee, Lord Don Foster, said he will "follow up" on Mr Tapp's word.

I had to use Tor Browser to load the video because my hosts file blocks all ad/analytics domains using hBlock. Then used OBS Studio to record the video. Then took two screenshots of the uBlock Origin interface and stitched it together with Photopea. All because of human ingenuity stupidity. Goddamn.

    There's a chance that someone once uploaded a picture of some boobs on it or something, so to "protect the children", our beloved glorious leaders have blocked us from a big chunk of the internet.

    It's actually because they're not making any attempt to record self-reported age (such as "I am over 13") on signup, while there is adult content on there, and did not want to cooperate with Ofcom on it.
