This is a key point. Dual citizenship isn't 'half British, half something else'. It's *full* British citizenship, and *full* the other citizenship.
As a dual citizen, you're every bit as much of a British citizen as someone who only has British citizenship.
As a dual citizen, you're every bit as much of a British citizen as someone who only has British citizenship.
Ask this question and its follow-up. Like Begum before him, Alaa el-Fattah is being used as a crowbar to shift reasonable people - even some progressives - into a space of thinking that full citizenship, if granted recently or dual, is retroactively conditional or attracts a lower class of rights.

It's the same as the crap about Jews not being proper Brits because of their relationship to Israel. It's bollocks and hateful, and should be seen as such.

I often think back to a Greek taxi driver who once told me: "Too many people want the harshest laws they can imagine - for everyone except themselves."
This thinking is rife on the right, but it is also prevalent in a significant minority on the left. And that last part always takes me by surprise.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Richard Madeley "How realistic is it for any profession to expect to be paid in real terms what they were paid in 2008?"
The UK is the 6th largest economy in the world & the rich have never been richer, but Madeley thinks the rest of us should just accept being poorer #GMB

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Nigel Farage has been a lifelong racist. He's been a racist since his school days. David Lammy was forced to apologise for saying Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth - but what do you call it when someone sings Hitler Youth songs?
