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.

    1. Marmite!
    2. This has to be Guiness
    3. I had to look Rhys up but I don’t know his work. I went with Michael Sheen, who I do adore. Dang it.
    4. This has to be Frankie Boyle.
    5. …Michael Sheen and David Tennant? Please be what you were going for, I’m straight, but I love those two together!
    6. Tea! … Ribena? (I know it’s not Ribena). I think Nestle makes a banana powder for milk? We have chocolate and strawberry in the US

    I probably failed. :( but it was fun. I’m a huge panelshow fan, so anything I got might be blamed on that :)

    Forgive me if my reply is annoying, as a USian, I like hanging out in spaces like this, but I try to be respectful. But I had to reply to this one :)
