Exclamation

I served fourteen years in the RAF as a non-commonwealth foreigner. Noone noticed until I applied for a British passport and was turned down. Even then they let me continue playing around with live nuclear weapons on QRA.

I believe the latest change in the law, supposedly intended to get rid of an obnoxious religious extremist, means that I can now be deprived of the British citizenship that was so begrudginly granted at the Home Secretary's discretion if he so much as wakes up one morning with a monk on. An interesting subject is citizenship, especially the peculiar British variety...
