Now, for these British nationals (some of whom are solely British), Most of those who are solely British have a right (since 2003) to register as British citizens. As for those who are citizens of another country, the view of successive British governments is that they should "throw in their l...

I don't understand all this - people want Independence AND a British Passport - weird.... Seems like a straightforward OR situation to me... Independence isn't even relevant here.
