Yes, but surely this  shouldn't apply to the  British?  What about British exceptionalism?  I mean yes, we voted to become a Third Country and we were aware of what that meant because we'd been involved in drafting the requirements, but surely it doesn't apply to us? And fair enough we also left the Single Market which would have removed most trade problems but still, Don't they know  we're British?

I thought you are Irish.

Keep on topic please, sewage should be in the Conservative party thread!

Is that because the vast majority is produced in Downing Street?

I am listening to radio four, about the thousands/millions of Chineese products coming into the country, lots of scams and products worth £25 selling for £200 because of fake advertising.

Is this a change from pre-Brexit, probably not, but it should be stopped.

Keep on topic please, sewage in rivers should be in the Conservative party thread!

 

Not only is there no edit function, other sites have spell checkers, but not this one!

There’s still a Report button, they’ve most probably omitted deleting it.

It has already been well established that thinking isn't your strong point Axe. I have never said that I'm Irish because I'm not. Likewise, I've never said that I'm English because I'm not.

With one English and one Irish parent I'm Anglo-Irish and have dual nationality as a birthright. I've always had an Irish passport, so my nationality is Irish. However, if I wanted to I could have a British passport as well and hold them simultaneously. There is no requirement for me to take an exam or swear an oath in either case because my rights are by Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis.

 

Hope that helps.

I guess if it's in the media it must be true? 

Apparently the Irish are having similar issues with their water. ways, their brexit rules are totally different to ours.

Nithing to do with greedy private companies either, in Ireland the water companies are state run. 

Poorly regulated by the government would be my guess. 

I hope I havn't strayed off topic?

Same as here then?

We have the capacity to hammer the water companies with fines for all their spillages, but it's just not done enough.

 

Summer 2022 was exceptionally dry, very little rain.  Water companies were still overflowing sewage into rivers.  There's no excuse for it.

You are not capable of judging the difference between night and day, your grasp of logic being so tenuous. The English are a Germanic race, the Irish are a Celtic race. It wasn't possible for my father to father an Irishman nor for my mother to give birth to an Englishman.

Inability to understand basic facts springs to mind.  It isn't anything other than a straightforward accepted legal situation.

 

https://virtuelles-migrationsmuseum.org/en/Glossar/jus-soli-jus-sanguinis-principle-of-descent/#:~:text=Jus soli is also referred,as the principle of descent.

 

It is the law in the UK and in the Republic of Ireland that citizenship is automatic under each of the above and joint citizenship is accepted.
