Exiled: the disturbing story of a citizen made unBritish

Not just wild. Fanciful and ridiculous.
Why do some people insist on going to the far end of a fart in their attempts to brow-beat others who dare to have a different opinion ?

Then they had better be terrorists, preferably threatening to injure, maim or kill innocent Brits enjoying a pint or caught up in our capital city's morning crush hour. Or maybe threaten a minority group at the place of their religious worship. Such persons would find MPs more than willing to invite them for drinkies at the Terrace Bar at the House of Commons and fight their corner.

I am of course being supremely sarcastic but my suggestion is no more outrageous than your own attempt to silence those of us whose views are not held by you.

I think quiet a lot of brits hold similar views and in your case as a non Brit unlikely ,but not impossible especially if you drive.

All citizenship is "aquired" just depends on local rules/interpretations.

Following H.O. "rules" you are advocating A Brit born here of British parents with a second (or the ability to acheive) nationality could have their citizenship stripped and be deported.

Whilst I dont take that line myself Im not aguing for anyone else to either! just to be more informed of the curent situation and direction of travel

Im certainly not trying to silence anyone.

Nor do I think my example is so far fetched

Are you seriously suggesting that anyone with British citizenship could lose that citizenship upon conviction of a motoring offence? I guess that if one is a hard left conspiracy theorist whose biggest wet dream ever would be the election of a Marxist government, such a punishment might be imagined. After all, it bears a strong similarity to that old Soviet favourite, exile to a Gulag.

Ironic tbat your warning comes from someone who actively supports the very people who might eventually institute such a programme. For they would be the only grouping who might be mad enough and bad enough to do so.

I really think there are more important things to worry about, things tbat are in the here and now.

Lets not discuss the “merits” of particular parties and keep on track with the subject at hand.

Read my post again I was answering the implications of Doms post for his first sentence

and then his third

Another quick question.. How would the British Government confirm that a British kid or his now British Mother have dual nationality or not?
Would they have to request the data from the Philippine embassy?
Good luck with that!!

Too much paranoia.

One thing Ive learned over the years is that Philippine bureaucracy is complicated because it is disorganized and dysfunctional.
I have to report each year and pay 310 Peso..They give me a receipt and ask me to keep it.. I have 12 such reciepts which I have to show them each year..If I lose them and cannot produce on any given year I could be fined for each receipt lost or even deported.. Do they keep records? Perhaps somewhere.. Will they look for them?
Hell no.
You think they know who is a dual national?

I'm thinking if the British government made a request as to someones nationality, indeed any nation, Pinas could easily identify that person. PSA would have that info in seconds flat.

My kids are all Brits-Fil dual.
Their passports expired about 4 years ago..
I inquired about them leaving with us on their Brit passports back too UK for a holiday.. I was told that they would be stopped for overstaying..I pointed out that I could show their birth certs and dual citizen docs at the airport..
No go..
We had to travel to Mindanao earlier this year to apply for their R.P passport renewals..
Computer data maybe on a system here somewhere,but it it is so fragmented that no one could ever find it..
You want to bet I`m wrong?

Without all the facts I have no idea what her status here is on her visits back.. If she produced a re acquisition document,then perhaps without an R.P passport they issued a BB stamp? If that`s the case,any stay longer than one year will require tourist visa extensions.
We were told specifically that they will require valid passports..
In actuality,we may or may not have got away with it..Not worth the risk IMO.

I take your points, Jim, and agree with you where democracy is concerned.

As things stand, there's a far greater chance of a dual national British Filipino losing their Philippine citizenship than their British one. Other than by birth, it is almost impossible for a foreigner to acquire Philippine citizenship - I have not heard of any Brit receiving such a grant in living memory, but I concede that there may be one or two. Given the challenges posed by Islamists and returning Jihadis, none of whom are currently or ever likely to be threatened with the loss of citizenship in the future, this is not an issue of import to me. But I do have a growing list of candidates!

This is interesting here: http://accralaw.com/publications/how-reacquire-filipino-citizenship

It regards Filipinos who take an oath after getting citizenship of another country.

"Philippine citizenship will not only be reacquired by the applicant, but will also be acquired by his unmarried child, whether legitimate, illegitimate, or adopted, who are below eighteen (18) years of age. Those who retain or reacquire Philippine citizenship under the law shall enjoy full civil and political rights and be subject to all attendant liabilities and responsibilities under existing laws of the Philippines and certain conditions."

So, it looks like if you take the oath, your children will also get Filipino citizenship.
