News Forum - UK’s nationality bill could strip millions of Britons of their citizenship

What is the Nationality and Borders Bill? The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act passed in 2002 enabled the government to strip someone of their British citizenship provided they had another nationality. Since 2006, the British home secretary has had the power to deprive dual nationals of their British citizenship if doing so is “conducive to the public good.” In 2014, these powers were extended to include foreign-born British citizens without dual nationality, who can be made stateless so long as the government believes they are eligible for foreign citizenship and if they have acted “in a manner which is seriously […]

He will. He will lie and lie again and come out with meaningless slogans that some people will simply lap up.

Anyone commenting on his lying will be simply dismissed as thats "Boris being Boris".

The man has already been sacked twice for lying but his supporters see no wrong in it.

Even when he lies to the Queen about his reasons for shutting down parliament. No lie is big enough or bad enough that Johnson will not say it. Its the reason he has got where he is and he cares not a jot when its found out. He will simply lie more to try and cover it up or throw someone else under the bus.

Robert Mugabe has more integrity than Johnson does. Edi Amin would have been embarrassed to behave like that.

Along with this The UK needs to introduce National ID Cards in todays uncertain World its a way to keep the public safe and to stop ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

This is technically true but misleading.  This would only apply to dual nationals or people eligible to be citizens of other countries.  The example in the article was a Muslim member of Islamic State eligible for citizenship in Bangladesh.  Given that the values of IS are inimical to the values of the UK, I think both the IS member and Britain will be much happier with this person in Bangladesh.
