This is an interesting story:
As I read through the story I couldn't help but mark the resemblance between this ceremony and some utterly fourth-rate MFE programs I know which are doing exactly the same thing with foreign students (and with the same solemnity).
Though mind, I now have to wonder how authentic my own citizenship ceremony was ...
The Chinese nationals watched in awe as the fake Home Secretary gave a greeting speech before they all sang God Save the Queen, a court heard.
...
At the end of the event, the participants, who genuinely believed they were being made British citizens, were allegedly handed false passports, visas, and other documents.
It was only when they tried to use their crudely forged passports that they realised they were fakes.
