'Citizenship Exam. scam' claim

Today’s Times reports that “Police are investigating an alleged scam that may have helped hundreds of immigrants to cheat their way to a British passport. Four men were arrested when officers raided a training centre where more than four thousand people have taken the Home Office’s much vaunted citizenship test. It is alleged that hundreds of pass certificates were sold to applicants whose poor grasp of English gave them little or no hope of success in the “Life in the UK” test.”

I like the bit about the Home Office revoking peoples citizenship if they where found to have passed the test in a fradulent manner.

Oh yeah after about 15 years of appeals by those who did.
