  • It seems that her citizenship was stripped under the following:

    Under the 1981 British Nationality Act, a person can be deprived of their citizenship if the home secretary is satisfied it would be "conducive to the public good" and they would not become stateless as a result.

    So, we could strip Boris of his citizenship if some subsequent Home Secretary thinks it would be conducive to the public good. Javid himself, if he's entitled to Pakistani citizenship by descent. Any Jew can be sent off to Israel. Any person born/with parents born in NI (this includes me).

    This seems pretty ridiculous

    Agreed. I'd never seen the statute until skimming the judgement today. Obviously I don't have a detailed knowledge of all the criteria, but it seems like a seriously low bar.

    When this originally kicked off, out of the two people I worked with most in favour, one was 2nd gen Greek Cypriot, the other 2nd gen Irish-Italian.

    God willing.
