Britannicité
A partir de demain premier novembre, les candidats à la citoyenneté britannique vont devoir réussir un test avant de devenir sujet de la reine et obtenir le précieux passeport. Le test fait référence à l'histoire, la culture et la société britannique.
Pourriez-vous devenir britannique ? La BBC propose quelque questions-types ici...
Sur la question de la britannicité, j'ai trouvé sur le site de la Commission for Racial Equality, l'étude qui a servi de base pour les tests : What is Britishness ? Les britanniques de l'intérieur.
On y trouve dans l'introduction :
Values et Attitudes: These included upholding human rights and freedoms, respect for the rule of law, fairness, tolerance and respect for others, reserve and pride (generally valued by white English participants and criticised by white Scottish and white Welsh participants as well as those from ethnic minority backgrounds), a strong work ethic, community spirit, mutual help stoicism and compassion, and drunkenness, hooliganism and yobbishness.
Cultural habits and behaviour: These included queuing; watching and supporting football, cricket and rugby; and consuming food and drink such as 'fish and chips', 'English breakfast', 'Yorkshire pudding', 'cream teas', 'cucumber sandwiches', 'roast beef', 'Sunday lunch', 'curries' and 'beer'.
