Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

But if we are European (not EU) as I am happy to be then that's the price (or not) that we pay. Also we will still need to have free movement whether in it out like Switzerland and Norway and still pay the EU but with no say on anything. In my experience the influx of Europeans had been

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

The Brexit debate IMHO boils down to two things: 1) Xenophobia, no sorry, ahem, let's call it immigration. 2) the French & Germans having a part to play in any law in the UK. Even if it's perfectly sensible. WW2 ad nauseum. 1) is laughable given there are more immigrants from outside

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

I think the difference is that they were moving from a foreign country and you were moving within the same country. Most don't save and go home, most stay. That's not in any way a criticism of them, but I think we should have a say who comes to our country and the way in which they come. Sent

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

Still don't get it. I can and intend to move to France or Spain one day and I can without much hassle. People come here but a lot come work and go home. I've known many from work, 2 or 3 years of using their skills to improve my business saving up and then going home. No difference to Brits

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

Agree it's fair enough mate. We're also generous with ancestry visas - which means if you do have an English grandad, you can get indefinite leave to remain and a route to citizenship anyway. Though they are talking about getting rid of that. Sent from my iPhone > On 12 Jun 2016, at 23:26,

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

I wasn't being serious mate. But perhaps citizenship laws might be more fair if we didn't have to deal with 300,000 new residents per year. Numbers which on any view are unsustainable. Yeah yeah, they work shit jobs, English people are lazy blah blah. They still use our public services, which

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

That's fair enough isn't it? One English grandad isn't enough to be British citizen. If you have had kids and their kids are 2nd generation outside the UK then how can that be enough? Some people could have 2 or 3 passports then. Sent from my iPad > On 12 Jun 2016, at 15:11, Ian Murray

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

! > > Yeah please do. If your kids don't get a passport, it's another leave reason. UK citizenship rules have nothing to do with the EU. Rules are set by parliament. EEA (different from the EU) citizens have a specific path to citizenship, just like people with British parentage, but born

Re: [LU] British passport eligibility!

Yeah please do. If your kids don't get a passport, it's another leave reason. I think you can only pass on British by decent one generation. Thus, my kids will be British, but their kids won't unless born in the UK. Sent from my iPhone > On 10 Jun 2016, at 01:33, Jeremy Adams
