Well she could jump into a dinghy in Calais ,we'd probably never know who she was. Maybe she has already and its someone else.

I start to wonder how many women who joined ISIS Tinder have also lost their citizenship?

...a situation where two British people have lived here all their lives but one is at (very slightly) more risk than the other of being deported to (for them) an unknown land. And that's where, for me, the government's attitude to Begum becomes unacceptable. Nobody should have dual nationality with "(for them) an unknown land".Nobody should be deemed to hold a nationality just because they would probably be accepted if they applied, which they haven't done, because they have no links with that country other than jus sanguinis. There may also be ECHR issues, because the government would be complicit in her going to a certain execution. So you'd be advocating zero immigration into the UK and "no marrying foreigners" so that all children are born to parents who are both British ? Thought not. So then you have lots of situations where children get the passport of each parent. Or would you forbid that? Which nationality could they adopt? Just the fathers, just the mothers? Probably discriminatory to do that as well as creating an obvious imbalance in the relationship. Then we're left with children who have two passports with many of them hardly ever setting foot in the "other" country. As individuals, they didn't ask for that situation either. So that I suggest is one route into this happening and why it isn't "nobody".

You are SO going to have to explain that leap of logic to me... Umm, nope. And, even if they did, how does that somehow inherently make the other country an "unknown land"? FWIW, SWMBO's mother was Swedish, and lived here for the last fifty years of her life. SWMBO has never held Swedish nationality, sole or dual - and would be under zero advantage in gaining it, compared to me. She is, however, fluent in the language and lived there for a year.

Does anyone know what happened to Brits after the Spanish civil war. I know those fighting Franco were allowed to return along with a bunch of Spaniards.
But what happened to those on Franco's side. I find it hard to believe there were not some

One of the reviews here implicitly confirms it.

Post Brexit, I can see a significant advantage in gaining Swedish nationality (or indeed that of any other EU state)
