Quote:
The Home Office has lodged an appeal against a High Court ruling that an Australian man imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay has a right to British citizenship
The sole reason this man has asked for a UK passport is to gain the protection of the crown. I do not wish to grant him that protection.
Did this man seek citizenship at any point in his life before now? No. Is he british in any way? No. Is his application only of convienience? Yes.
I hope his application can be rejected without consequence. If not, we need to close this loophole.
Do you americans have conditions to prevent "passports of convienience"?
