Britain to Teach Emigrants to Queue

According to reports, Britain is now planning to educate emigrants on the art of "queuing properly." Apparently these reports go on to suggest that teaching them to queue will help them integrate into society better.

Any foreigners that are applying to settle in the UK will now have to learn about the revered British practice of forming a queue for everything from sandwiches to buses. This new subject, which is properly being called the art of queuing may also be included in the tests on aspects of British ways of life. This is a test that is required for foreign nationals who are applying for citizenship.

Phil Woolas, the emigration minister, said that much tension in communities has been caused by foreigners not understanding that they have to wait in line for services. A lot of foreigners simply head right up to the front desk to ask for help, as this is custom in their culture. However, in other countries, like the United States and the UK, people form lines to keep public order.

Woolas went on to say that huge resentment is caused when people push in. The simple act of taking turns is what holds many countries together. It is very important that newcomers take their place in queues, whether it is for a cup or tea or a bus. The minister added that he was pushing this idea as part of moves to ensure emigrants integrate properly with the rest of the public. He said that it is central to the British sense to play fair.
