  1. Doubt if that will happen. He'll be 31 and on the downhill slope. Bournemouth or Championship more likely. He's lost a fair bit of pace from what I saw last time he played for Liverpool. Keeps trying the same old stuff that worked in his heyday, only now it doesn't.
  2. He's on loan at Newcastle isn't he? And we got Ings.
  3. Justly no, the parents were not legal residents, citizens or any other acceptable status. The child is of the nationality of the parents. It's not like France or the US where it's the right of "sol" that counts. Automatic British Citizenship is only established by blood line. After that if the parents have legal residence status then the child has a claim. If they don't he hasn't. But in the case in hand it is of no import whether the young person has british citizenship. We know she had because it's been stripped from her for what can be called un-British conduct, The classic case here is that of Lord Haw Haw or William Joyce. He was an Irish/American citizen engaged in propaganda broadcasts for the Nazis during WW2. When being tried afterwards he claimed it wasn't treason because he wasn't British. As he'd obtained a British passport by forgery or deception he owed loyalty to the king and was hanged for treason. You see so this young person owes loyalty to the Queen and by joining IS has committed treason. Won't be hanged though. Mr Javid is setting up a new treason law for these people so perhaps they won't want to come back after all.
  4. In fact in the UK in 2017 no less than 104 people were stripped of the Brtish Nationality and most of them were deported. What for, I couldn't say.
  5. Look it up on the governmen'ts nationality website. It's a case by case scenario dependant on the parent's status at the time of the child's birth. I don't make the rules I just know about them because obtaining British Nationality for my own daughter led me to read all the whys, wherefores and whereupons. For instance she's British because I am and my parents were, her children may well not be because those born outside the UK to at least one British parent do not always pass the nationality on. Even then you have to dob the government some serious swans just to get a bit of paper to prove your nationality. Cost me 250£ for my girl and there's not even a shadow of a doubt about her nationality. Those applying for some other route can face a charge of over £1000 and have to pass an assimilation test. It's not a case of I was born here, I'm British.Don't confuse the UK and the US, the rules aren't the same. Only British bloodline confers automatic British nationality and even then the parents have to married. in some cases.
  6. But one does not automatically acquire British Citizenship by being born in the UK. Most cases lead to British Citizenship but some don't. It's in the Home Office regulations. Look it up if you're interested.
  7. Some countries do not allow dual citizenship, some that you might think as pretty progressive places..like the Netherlands. If you take up Dutch citizenship then you must renounce any others that you may have. The woman spoke of trying to get Dutch citizenship I believe, that would mean her giving up on all others. There's a list on the Home Office website of countries that allow dual citizenship, have a look, you'll be surprised at the number that don't. Spain only allows DC with some Latin American countries and this is causing a bit of a todoo with a few expats who've decide to apply for Spanish citizenship because of Brexit, no more UK citizenship for them.
  8. Not been to Syria, but then who has, but I remember the Lebanon being a really nice place before all of the troubles started. Syria will need to be rebuilt and I believe that many Syrians who fled are now returning home.
  9. But if Gary Glitter had some other nationality or had the status to get one then I'd doubt if he'd be allowed back. The rub lies there within.
  10. So, with a bit over a month to bowl-off have we got any openers sorted out?
  11. Err didn't Victor get burgled whilst playing a game for Saints ?
  12. Won't that leave them with no absolute (theoretical) majority in case of another no confidence motion? Even with the DUP.
  13. Thought they just looked inefficient in front of goal. 1t was like watching Chelsea over again. Probably something to do with the makeshift defence though, less quality being played out from the back although they were OK defensively.
  14. Seems that he's saying that Sala's agent N'Diaye found and proposed the plane. Very confusing really.
  15. Ah, like the Channel Islands then.
  16. Swaning off over Waterloo Bridge was he?
  17. And there was me thinking that the Faroe Islands were part of Denmark. Probably had a revolution when I wasn't looking.
  18. I looked at the EU's press release on the Japanese deal. Don't seem to be at all worried about any job loss in the car sector. Just a lot of trumpet blowing about how much more Beef, Pork and Cheese that can be sent towards Japan. So if your nation has a lot of meat and cheese to sell, you're quids in, if you make Japanese cars you're not.
  19. I looked in at the Chelsea-United game and came to the conclusion that Chelsea just keep doing the same old things for the exact same result. They look absolutely toothless and Kovacic is nowhere near good enough for the role he's supposed to be fullfilling in the PL.
  20. I was up in Calais the other day, waiting for my ferry. There was a DFDS ship alongside and they must have embarked nigh on 100 trucks. Thought to myself, do the Brits really need all the crap in those buggers. I'm sure you could do without the half of it.
  21. What in 1976? Doubt it, built by half-cut idiots I expect.
  22. I had one of those once, the windscreen just simply fell out one day. Good old british workmanship at it's finest.
  23. They've probably worked out that the Civics manufactured in Turkey are turned out at about half of the price of those made in Swindon.
  24. Macron won the presidency by default. Hard Right, Hard Left and Macron was all that was left after the Socialists came up with a crazy candidate and the reasonable right came up with a bloke who turned out crooked as a corkscrew. He doesn't have a clue really or any sort of structure. Half of his elected deputés don't even turn up.
  25. Does she actually have a UK passport? Seem to remember reading she travelled on a cousin's or sister's papers.
