Luton's an....interesting place, agreed.

Place of birth is exactly what's precluding Mo Farah from being 'British'.

F&$k me Scampy!! Knowing your age you may have been born in L&D around the time of my oldest son!!!

No Iggywotsit, my kids are white and minimum 7th generation English.

Hurry up then. I'm blurry well freezing here in NZ.

Interestingly, to me anyway, I'm waiting the results of an Ancestry DNA test. It'll show me just how tattooed I should actually be.

He's not the first and won't be the last.

Zola Budd

Excellent! Reunite The Commonwealth and give all white SA citizens a British passport!

BEVS

.....and faster than a ferret up a trouser leg

She was 18yrs old in 1984. Her Grandfather was British.
Not 8yrs old & having grown up in the UK as British which Mo Farrah is.

The issue was about jumping the queue. Not about entitlement .

IKnowNothing

Most are German.....

iggle

She has more right to a passport than Mo "What is dis" Farah

iggle

I know, but they produce women like Candice Swanepoel. Magical.

If L&D means Luton, I'm sorry mate but I wasn't born there....I have just had the pleasure of driving into and out of Luton a couple of times.

BEVS

Incorrect.
They had differing rights & both were entitled to UK citizenship per the assorted rules and regs.

iggle

It was still a fix. Mo Farah father was not a British citizen, he was a British resident that lived in Somalia.

We give passports to anyone these days if it suits our agenda....Go Team GB

Don't bring logic into it Bevs. Far too sensible.

iggle

We will soon find out how "British" he is now he's retired. No need to live in USA to train. Now come back to your beloved blightly and pay some taxes.

Millhouse

Errr.... like us then, I guess.
