Citizenship test is a stain on our country | Letter

Robin Prior thinks the Life in the UK test is yet another component of the hostile environment' that all foreigners now face

Zoe Williams is on top form in her dissection of the Life in the UK test and its insidious purpose (The test you have to take to stay in the UK is sloppy, moronic and jingoistic, 22 March).

She exposes the mixture of stupidity and cruelty that lies behind this innocent-sounding test, which is in reality yet another component of the hostile environment" that all foreigners must now face, whether they're in the UK legally or otherwise. This is a stain on our country that we should all be ashamed of.
