UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

The UK government's position was always that it wasn't making her stateless as she is entitled to Bangladeshi citizenship through her parents. So from their point of view they weren't making her stateless.
Funnily enough the Bangladeshi government at the time turned around and said, fuck that she's British, she's never even been here!.
The UK government were never looking for powers to make people stateless. Although on a technicality they were quite happy to make someone not British. There's a subtle difference, I hope you can see.
Anyway, that was the previous Tory government so it will be interesting to see what Labour's position is on this. The new Labour Home Secretary could simply override the previous decision and allow her back in.
