Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

Not quite true. The constitution changed back in 2005. If you were born in Ireland before 1st of January 2005 then you are automatically an Irish citizen. I don’t know about the UK.

Irish citizenship when you are born abroad​

If either of your parents was born in Ireland and was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, you are automatically an Irish citizen by birth.

If the parent through whom you are entitled to Irish citizenship was deceased at the time of your birth, but would have been an Irish citizen if alive at that time, you are an Irish citizen.

Irish citizen parent born outside Ireland​

If you were born outside of Ireland and your parent (who was also born outside of Ireland) was an Irish citizen or entitled to be an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, then you are entitled to become an Irish citizen.

To claim Irish citizenship, you must have your birth registered in the Foreign Births Register, unless your parent was abroad in the public service at the time of your birth. If you are entitled to register, your Irish citizenship is effective from the date of registration – not from the date when you were born.

Here’s the full link.

Irish citizenship through birth or descent

You are not automatically an Irish citizen if you were born on the island of Ireland. You may be entitled to Irish citizenship if your parent(s) or grandparents were Irish. You may be entitled to Irish citizenship if you were born outside of Ireland, but you may need to register your birth.

The qualifying criteria is a British parent.
Being born here counts for nothing.

Just saying clever dick.

No need for the insult fella, particularly given that I wasn't challenging your point but rather expanding on it. I added 'Just saying' in an attempt to make clear I wasn't taking sides. Seems I failed.

Does it matter who has what citizenship ?

If a Pikey needed a citzenship they'd just steal it. :-)

I was renovating not long ago and the building company hired some gypsies with a van to take away some rubbish. Saw them come back a couple of times, they must have seen something of mine they liked so I went out and took a photo of them in their van and luckily they didn't come back.

Not to intend to worry you too much but this is how they operate and what I meant by their intelligence network. They clock stuff as part of their 'work' on a street or a house, or sadly multiple houses on an estate, and sell that info on to other pikeys across the country. The ones who saw it, or were working at that time, will be from away. The ones who come back will also be from away. This is how the burgling cunts work. Someone will be pleased about the new guttering or drive cleaning or tree cutting job done cheap, and never see them ever again. But the family around the corner whose wife looks like she has jewellery in the house, and all go out at 10 am-3pm, will have all been clocked and get rinsed out about 3 years later after the crudest forced entry ever, but cleanest house burglary ever. All intelligence passed on or sold on or repayed back or whatever. Ive had decades of peoples misery at the hands of these awful cunts and the amount of old people who died after them stealing their money is something that I hate as much as them. One in the front to fix a leak under the sink or distract about a leak on the roof, and 2 through the back door to take Elsie's stash meant for the grandkids. Wankers, but professional wankers

This is their prime time of year as well, apart from the shop rushing thieves which is obviously about stealing christmas presents for onward dissemination to other travellers or to sell on. The weeks between the clocks going back and a couple of weeks before Christmas is when they come alive. The houses they watch are darker earlier into the early evening with those who work. They can tell empty houses before 5 or 6pm when people start filtering back home. They screw houses between 3.30 and 4.30 when its gone dark in the day and neighbours or those in have lights on. Nobody else does that. Working people dont think to set lights or timers during working day hours when they are going to be home at normal times

My daughter-in-law's father was born in London to American parents who weren't British citizens.

He is classed as a British citizen, by virtue simply of being born here, as is my daughter-in-law (who has received her UK passport) and her sister (who is in the process of acquiring one).

I'm not sure that's correct. My understanding is that, if you're born in the UK to parents who are not British citizens or do not have settled status, you are eligible to apply to register as a British citizen but it's not automatic. I'm happy to be proved wrong so long as you don't call me a clever dick.

The right to British citizenship was changed in 1981.
Prior to that you could be British by birth in the U.K.
Since then you must have one parent who is a British citizen.

My daughter-in-law is married to a UK citizen of course, which may have helped as she got her passport with no hassle at all. Didn't even need a UK passport holder as a reference.

Her sister, on the other hand, is having to jump through more hoops to apply for hers. But the rules are that if you were born in the UK before 1/1/83, as their father was, then you're automatically a British citizen.

So if their father Chris is a UK citizen (although neither he nor his brother has a UK passport) then his daughters are automatically British citizens if they were born between 1983 and 2006. That's the rule.

No idea who any of these inbreds are but I feel invested in the drama now.

Has the balaclava lad used his sisters tights?
