I WOULD like to support the cause of former jockey Carim ‘Frankie’ Mohideen being allowed to stay in his job at Denton Hall Stables and the UK (Echo, July 14).

I have looked through the Life in the UK examination failed by Carim five times, which ask questions about British history and culture.

I have been a British subject in the UK for 49 years (I am previously from Penang, Malaysia).

I would have to study history of the British Empire every day in order to answer those questions.

I think those questions are very hard and it would not be fair to anyone who does not study history as his/her specialist subject.

I fully support Carim and for our Government to allow him to stay in the UK and his much-loved job at Denton Hall Stables in Darlington.
