New British Citizenship Rules to Compel Assimilation, Punish Political Protest?

Richard Edwards for The Telegraph reports that “the Home Secretary . . . is unveiling plans for a new points-based system which will take into account applicants’ behaviour before giving them British nationality. Immigrants will be expected to `earn’ a British passport by accumulating points for voluntary work, speaking English, paying taxes or having useful skills. Marks could be deducted from applicants who have a history of anti-social behaviour, which could include protesting against British troops, or even failing to integrate into British life.”  Check the proposal out yourself at Download Earned-citizenship-consultation.  Here is the BBC report.
