Actually, this Mike Stanton individual has a point. With UK citizenship, you can move to Lithuania and you can enter Ukraine visa-free.
Which will be good as they're probably the last two places in Europe that aren't turning into the United European Emirates.
Plus, Ukraine arguably has the sexiest white women in the world and that must count for something.

As the actress Maggie Smith was quoted as saying "I'd sooner drink ink"
Seriously though who would want to give up not just their British Passport but their European on too. I think those who hold ECC passports are very lucky folk and if you hold an Ozy one too you are even luckier.

This question came up were i worked today I was asked this by my Australian colleagues.
With the way governments change legislation and if a bill was passed back in the UK as so many citizens now go overseas and the government is defiantly working this out.
how many Ex pats I'm thinking would renounce being an Australian?
My answer to my Australian colleagues was Id never give up being British.

I would not have an issue with losing British citizeanship but only with losing European Citizeanship. However, if forced to choose between Australia or Europe I would have to choose Australia.
