Another thing the UK did for me. Offer me citizenship because my home county refused to give me one.

Being stateless is illegal. Nonetheless where I was born, my mother's homeland, decided I'm not Cypriot enough, cos dad is important only.

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.

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

Tangentially, most of my genes arose in Italy. So perhaps I'm Venetian — my village in Cyprus is very Venetian. Cool empire.

I'm not British by descent anymore BTW. I'm just British with as many rights as British by birth or naturalisation.

Before I had a few fewer rights, eg any potential children of mine wouldn't be British. LOL don't want kids anyway, but it's sorted now.
