Because of defeats in the courts, in 2014 an amendment changed Section 40 of the 1981 British Nationality Act to introduce a new power for the home secretary to cancel the citizenship of single nationality holders even at the risk of creating a stateless person. This was specifically tailored to fit the UK’s obligations under international law, and can only take place for conduct that is deemed seriously prejudicial to national interests.

I think we can be sure that the authorities know far more about the background of the person than we do. As all the lefties argue politicians know better than the little people the squawking over this particular case rings a tad hollow. Can I rent you a brand new bandwagon to jump on, the present one looks a little tawdry.

Even for jimmies love of provocative statements, to declare it an atrocity is simply stupid.
