Are you now a UK national?

Yes. Always have been.

Wow. I wonder if current UK gov (or worse, Brexited gov) would do same now. Do u know if it was EU law that req'd UK to offer u citizenship?

I'm UK by dissent. So yes, they would do exactly the same now.

My family has a variety of legal nationalities altho I'm ethically Cypriot (mum) and white British (dad).

What wouldn't happen now is my rejection from Cypriot nationality because Cyprus is now in the EU.
