As the arti...Anon - thanks for pointing that out. <br /><br />As the article says - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21783475 - 'it was not necessary for the person to hold another nationality before losing UK citizenship, provided they were deemed eligible to seek a passport from another country.'<br /><br />I.e. - This isn't just the case for dual citizens, but for those eligible for citizenship of another country, a far larger number of people. <br /><br />This could indeed apply at some point to many with a non-British parent or grandparent (To give a silly example - Bradley Wiggins, for instance, could be eligible for Australian citizenship because his father was Australian. This means the Home Secretary has the right to strip him of his citizenship, with no apparent oversight or legal way of challenging this, should she deem it necessary).<br /><br />The lack of oversight and checks and balances is a concern here. <br /><br />It would be interesting to know more about those who have lost their citizenship. On the basis of this Freedom of Information request : http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/british_citizenship_border_secur - this doesn't seem to be the easiest thing to discover.stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698922877414169622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020146007708530033.post-85668744217073697882013-03-15T23:46:12.544+00:002013-03-15T23:46:12.544+00:00"Born British?
