Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!!

Only if one of your parents have a right of stay.
Not if you are illegal or Asly

I don't know about illegality. When I make submissions, I make them based on legit circumstances. Sorry, I never considered it with respect to a case of any illegal persons.

I don't deal with illegalities so it doesn't come naturally to me to be discussing illegalities.

Thank you Easyy , its nice to know that you have a education and understand the law in the uk .


 What a pathetic woman you really are  , you have been proven to be a person of little education who then throws insults around like a stupid child.

I have been on this forum longer than you but choose to read and diguest rather than post the mindless drivel that spouts from every word you type ,

Yes , im in England , YES i studied LAW , and have a degree (why don't you you up "members of the bar") lets see what you can than come up with

This doesn't state anywhere that you don't acquire citizenship by birth if your parents are illegal, or am I missing a trick?

Acquiring British Citizenship By Birth in the United Kingdom
Children born in the United Kingdom will not automatically acquire British citizenship by virtue of their birth in the United Kingdom if neither of their parents are British citizens or settled in the United Kingdom at the time of their birth(1).

Children born in the UK will only be British citizens if at the time of their birth, one of their parents is a British citizen or is settled in the UK. As the law currently stands(2) , a child born to parents who are married at their time of their birth or subsequently marry may trace their entitlement to British citizenship through either parent. If the parents are not married at the time of the child’s birth or subsequently marry, the child will only acquire British citizenship if his or her mother is a British citizen or settled in the United Kingdom(3).

A child born in the United Kingdom may apply to be registered as a British citizen if after their birth, either of their parents becomes a British citizen or settled in the UK whilst the child is still a minor .

If neither parent is a British citizen or is settled in the UK, after the age of 10, a person born in the UK may register as a British citizen if he or she has not been out of the country for more than 90 days in each of the first ten years of his or her life(4).

(1). Which would mean that they must have Indefinite Leave to Remain, commonly known as permanent residence.
(2). Section 9 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 abolished the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children and provides that a father can pass his British citizenship onto his children even when he is not married to the child’s mother. However, this section of the Act is not yet in force and so as it currently stands, where the parents are not married, a child born in the UK will not automatically acquire British citizenship through their father, but you may in certain circumstances apply to register the child as a British citizen.
(3). In this circumstance you can apply to register a child as a British citizen.
(4). A minor for the purpose of nationality law is a person who is under the age of 18.

 I think that once again proves all i have posted is factual , please read it (its far better than East Enders and you will learn something ) (or not in the case of  our resident house girls  )

tell me about it

thanks for that but the thread is about shirley Bassey

Apologies for turning this into an immigration thread. But please indulge me while I answer Easy.

Easy,

You would only be British in the circumstances you have mentioned if;

a) You were born in the UK prior to 31/12/82.

B) You were born on or after this date but lived here as a child for more than 10 years
     and were registered as a British national.

c) Whilst you were still a child either of your parents became a British National or acquired
    settled status. i.e indefinite leave to remain.

Hope it is clear now.

Same cowardice was exhibited by Dame Shirley's Bassey was also performed by Sophia Okonedo's father when he abandoned his family, thereby imposing years of financial hardship on her daughter.
