I got the Maggie T one right! I find that deeply troubling, but maybe it says more about her than it does about me...
Kat and Dame A, my passport has expired anyway.

Rip up passport for me too,
You scored 2 out of a possible 15
Rip up your passport, and report to the Home Office: pleading with Ms May is now your only option.
I got the Sex Pistols one right and the Thatcher one wrong, I'm pleased that worked out well
I SCORED 4!!! The shame of it. I was told to rip up my passport too.

You're the next Parliamentary candidate for Maidenhead.

No! 'member! I'm Spartacus!
But all in all, I think those of us who have bombed in this test would be Ms May's pride and joy in whatever pathetic form the real new one will take! 
She's a numpty.
In fancy heels.
I took the old one a while back, I have a mate who was doing the citizen thing, I failed and he passed.
then after gloating for a month, he told me i had to leave the country...

Go to your local library (if it's still open) and swot up: true citizenship may yet be yours.

Same here, but as I will only give up my German passport over my dead and cold body, it doesn't matter.
Don't ask me why because I wouldn't want to live there anymore, but I just feel like that.
I totally guessed about half so wud be unlucky not to get 3
Thought i knew at least half so on a good day shud of got 5
If i'm lucky i shud of scored about 8 or 9

Five out of fifteen and two of those were the pop music questions! 
Answered four and got four right 
The rest were irrelevant 
1,3,8,and 15.
Why the hell you would know the answers to the rest is beyond me asides from the Bacon/Shakespeare one if you'd taken O level english[sic] Lit
