If your son has a British passport, then he has the right to reside in Britain and work there. If he doesn't understand that, then he must be very stupid indeed.

Whoever told him that is an idiot, having the passport proves he is a British Citizen and therefore has the legal right to live and work in the UK

How long is it since you spent a summer there? Even though I had broken my neck, back, ribs etc., once I rented a wheelchair from the Red Cross, it was an amazing summer. My brother would help me out to the gardens of ours and neighbors, all backing onto the Belfast Botanic Gardens. Lots of high jinks :-) the silly people got big sunburns.....me after 42 years in TX.....stayed in the shade. Can't wait to spend the next few weeks packing up to go permanently again.
Good Luck on your permanent return...

OK. I flew off the handle because of Cheers' flippant crack about Europe being invaded by Africans.
But, although I defer to BiP's knowledge on this matter, I don't count five (categories of passport holder with no right to work or live in the UK) from that wiki page.

A quick google just now after reading your comment shows that BiP is correct.

Barclays Bank installed the first atm in England in 1967, at their branch in Enfield, north London.

I don't doubt BiPs knowledge on this matter either and because of that I didn't check when he said that a few months ago.

Thanks so much F&C. My daughter who is a lawyer in NYC's husband, was "headhunted" by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-Upon-Avon, for his skills in IT in the NYC theatre scene. He flew for an interview last month and they are leaving July 9th. He got a Visa through my daughter's Irish citizenship as he wasn't able to do so through her UK citizenship. Good thing she had both passports having parents who were born in Northern Ireland.
Now I've got get moving fast!!

It is difficult to imagine the horror of the lives they have left behind, that impels the migrants are prepared to take the risks they do to reach safety.
