i was born in hollywood and i have a dutch passport but my older brother can't have one because he was born in 1984. doesn't make any sense to me either.

Yeah my whole life i thought i could get one - i'm a fucking british citizen i thought!

A friend of mine was born in Canada of a British mother and Mexican father, up until a year ago she was a citizen of no country despite living in Britian since the age of two. She couldn't get a passport from any country, each passing the buck to the other. Basically it took over six months of letters to the home office/local mp/passport authority to get recognised as a British citizen and issued a passport. Daft when she grew up here, went to school here, has paid taxes for years and even has a british mother!
