Many of us here, myself included, hold both UK and US citizenship. Some of us, myself included, also hold citizenship in a third country!

I get it now The first time I read it, I took it to mean that you're required to renounce your UK citizenship if you take US citizenship. Oops!

What I mean is that if you are British and acquire US (or anywhere else) citizenship, that means nothing to the UK: you only lose British citizenship when you go through the UK's procedure for renouncing it.
