Let's say you've just arrived from Rwanda and manged to get settled status. Your child, if born in the UK, will then be able to claim, at the age of 10, UK citizenship and benefit from the rights that confers.

The UK follows a modified version of jus soli (right of the soil) that incorporates elements of jus sanguinis (right of blood) and parental residency status. Therefore, while birth in the UK does not guarantee British citizenship outright, it can lead to citizenship under specific conditions related to the status of the parents.

Because it is a problem and acknowledged on a cross party basis. So, here's some countries that seem to have a potential answer to this long term problem for all of us in the UK. Japan: Citizenship is primarily based on parentage. A child born in Japan to foreign parents does not automatically receive Japanese citizenship. Germany: Citizenship is largely based on parentage. A child born in Germany to foreign parents does not automatically acquire German citizenship unless at least one parent has been a legal resident for several years. South Korea: Citizenship is based on parentage, not place of birth. A child born in South Korea to foreign parents does not automatically become a South Korean citizen. Switzerland: Citizenship is primarily determined by descent. Children born in Switzerland to foreign parents do not automatically receive Swiss citizenship. India: Citizenship is based on parentage. A child born in India to foreign parents does not automatically receive Indian citizenship unless at least one parent is an Indian citizen and the other is not an illegal migrant. Denmark: Citizenship is primarily conferred through the parents. A child born in Denmark to foreign parents does not automatically acquire Danish citizenship. Norway: Citizenship is based on parentage. Children born in Norway to foreign parents do not automatically receive Norwegian citizenship. China: Citizenship is based on parentage, not place of birth. A child born in China to foreign parents does not automatically become a Chinese citizen. Maybe jus sanguinis is a possible solution. Let's face it, jus soli, as practised in the US and the UK, is just not working anymore, now the old Empires are no longer in need of cheap labour. AI and robotics have changed that for requirement for good. I'm sure Starmer et al have a better solution. Probably a poster campaign in Calais.

I see there's a deafening silence from the lefties on this site. I'll fill in the gap, inspired by Herman Munster:

Oil-rich Venezuela’s economy entered freefall after Mr Maduro took the helm. Plummeting oil prices, widespread shortages and hyperinflation that soared past 130,000 per cent led first to social unrest and then mass emigration. However, Cuba said Mr Maduro had delivered an “historic electoral triumph”, while China said it “stands ready to enrich our all-weather strategic partnership”.

You've got to laugh. An ex-bus driver, Nicolás Maduro, nearly as left wing as Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, get's re-elected as President, with 132.2 per cent 🤣 of the votes counted. Welcome to a shining example of a Socialist paradise, and one coming to us soon.

You need professional help, mate.

You've been caught making shit up and are now doing it again. You are confusing me with someone that gives a shit about Trump's golf game. I'm more concerned about the integrity of this site. You've let the posters down, but more importantly, you've let yourself down. I hope you reflect on this in the future.

Yet you claim Trump is "openly admitting he is playing off the ladies’ tees all the way round", when you know that is the format Bryson has set up for his challenge. So, you make up a crock of shit and then find that concept funny. Personally, I find it pathetic. By all means criticize Trump for something real, but don't make up shit. #TDS

This round was also played off the red tees. Entertaining video.

Bryson's challenge is always played off the red tees, apart from when he played with Garcia. Nothing to do with Trump. They're trying to break 50, FFS.

Whatever anyone says, for a man of 78, Trump is a decent golfer, as can be seen from this great video, with Bryson De Chambeau. Trump has challenged Biden to a golf match, giving him 20 shots and if Biden wins, Trump will donate $1M to charity. I think his money is safe.

Here's a novel idea. How about people voting for a candidate based on their perceived ability to be President of the US, rather than based on their sex, race or religion? I know it's a wild thought...

What can be unburdened by what has been.

Bookies are never wrong:

Crowdstrike will go the same way as Joe Biden. They're deader than disco.

I have never liked Microsoft 365. I like my apps on my local computer.

Funniest mission statement ever:

WTF? Global internet outage. Sky News Down 911 Emergency Phones Out in the US All down to an anti virus program, Crowdstrike, taking Microsoft down. Anyone else affected? (I think it may be the end of the world as we know it)

Elon Musk ‘to give Trump campaign $45m a month’ after shooting

Meanwhile, Trumps week continues to get better:
