My profile name? Thomas was a lovely beagle I had the privilege of looking after. He died age 2 from epilepsy. I shall forever remember him. Passionate about my dogs!
I am a runner, 5k, 10k, silly distances. Trail is where my heart is. Slow as.

I do wonder if some people will just renounce their UK citizenship. Since Brexit, it offers little and my life is here. I never intend to settle there, but as I age, who knows?

Thanks and I hope I wasn’t being argumentative for no reason. Not my intent. I just think the UK thing is dumb. And people’s responses are generally just terrible. Like, if I’d not read this, I would not have know.

The last few times I want to the UK, I just used my Australian passport. I just don’t see what the UK is achieving by refusing a dual national to use their Australian passport to apply for the advanced entrance permission (or whatever it’s called).

I’m sure you could probably get in with your UK passport. But then his UK passport would be seen as being here over the 90 days. OK until you next try to leave or enter and border force alerts kick off.

If he doesn’t renew his Australian he simply won’t be allowed back into Australia. If he turns up on his British passport, they’ll count him as an overstayer, even though he’s a citizen. I believe you can renounce your British citizenship if it’s that much of a problem.

Visa entry form which as a dual national, you cannot apply for. So before, you turned up with your Australian passport, no one cared. But now you need to use your British passport as a dual national because the form won’t allow you to apply otherwise

An Australian passport is expensive, that’s for sure. But it’s about $40/yr if you think of it that way. My last 2 trips to the UK were done on my Aus passport. I now realise that as a dual national, that was technically not allowed. What’s changed is that the UK now require an advanced….

My elderly mother would give money to homeless people. Her friend would say, ‘he’s just going to use it for drugs’ and my mums response was, ‘who cares!’

They've been shooting people for a long time.

And then I watch a UK ARV and crew go to extreme lengths to NOT shoot someone, make it very clear that they WILL shoot them unless they comply, but very much a last resort. Police in the US just seem scared of everything.

I have no words. I just don't get America and increasingly, Americans. How can this not be a trigger or a wake up call? But then, I watch Youtube videos and it's routine for police to shoot people as they run away and 4 or 5 offices unload their guns into cars and people.

Don’t want to shock you, but your police forces do this every single day. There’s a channel, Police Action which shows police routinely killing people when running away. Your country is totally fucked.

Oh Fark! I had one come into our house. Me and the dogs hid in a room and waited for it to realise no food and to go home.

And wtf do you expect them to say? When you have a malignant narcissist in charge of the worlds most powerful military, fine, be brave, but to speak publicly will only make a shit situation worse.
