The New Cabinet

I would do it MargaretX. I have no problems with becoming French at all as I genuinely feel as much a part of this country as England. The huge amount of paperwork needed is daunting, but not enough to put me off. I just want to wait a bit and see what happens. Dual nationality is fine in France but not for our son in Spain. I think he will go for it though, his wife and children are Spanish.
Just wish I could still be a citizen of Europe!

Yes I'm sorry for that but he will be safer and the children will be Spanish and can decide for themslves anyway.
We were told by the British Consolate that DD1(born in the UK) that dual is not possible, although she has a German father, as she has to be 18 to make this decision for herself.

It is easier now but when she went to Berlin with the school before the wall came down, she had to get out of the coach and walk through Check Point Charlie on her own. She finally became German a few years ago and now has both.

Mamie we never wanted Brexit, we know how valuable Europe is
especially in this insecure world.

MargaretX excuse me if I am a bit here, but is the refusal of dual nationality the ruling of the UK or the country of which she has nationality?

If it is the UK then some of the rules did change not that long ago; someone with a British father used to be granted British nationality, but not if the mother was British; however that has changed now. I am not sure if British nationality can be granted if a child was born in the UK and has a British grandparent?

Totally agree Margaret.
I don't think the children can ever be British though. If you are Spanish (and they were born in Spain) you can only have one nationality.

I must have missed that MargaretX

I wonder why some countries allow dual nationality and others do not.
It seems to be quite protectionist.

Especially as Spain had one of the largest Empires in the world

I'd love HMRC to get their hands on Branson.

Old new cabinet.
Junior doctors are taking Hunt to court next month - something else I thought important enough to help crowdfund.

I hope whoever is responsible for this in the cabinet sorts it out.
Wouldn't fancy being a call handler here.
This could also be Cameron's legacy, messing up the DWP so much that it benefits nobody. But that's okay, because nobody in the government would ever have to work on the front line, or go through this demeaning procedure, more's the pity.

Liz Truss still appears to want to get rid of the Human Rights Act.

The government knows that a seven day NHS is not possible on the money it puts in to it.

Corbyn going to promise to renationalise the NHS, and buy back PFIs.

Anyone else think there is something decidedly unethical about this?
