Collapse of Stout Party! Hope he got his Passport !
I'm not sure I can get away with that one Danny, though I will try ;-)
Orac, if I have read your post correctly it says that I cannot pass on British citizenship that has been passed down through my ancestors, but I can pass on citizenship that I may have gained through naturalization etc? That can't be right. Even if it is though, it appears that the rules today will change after Brexit (EU citizens are being told not to apply for leave to remain now as the process will shortly be very different).
I guess I will just have to wait and see, and keep my fingers crossed. And Windrush is on the news again. How did we get here?
