Through the personal quandary faced by the authors regarding their national status on passports, the book exposes the contradictory endorsements and written advice provided by various officials of the British High Commission (Malawi), the Home Office, and the Foreign and Commonwealth office. These range from declarations such as \"British Subject: Citizen of Rhodesia and Nyasaland\" to \"British Subject: Citizen of the U.K. and Colonies,\" which were subsequently canceled. The author's status was further altered to \"British Protected Person,\" accompanied by varying conditions and restrictions imposed upon their stay in the U.K. The passport issued to the author reflected these changes, describing them as a British Protected Person with the right to re-admission to the U.K. However, the legal complexities and contradictions continued, with statements like \"You are not a British Citizen under the British Nationality Act 1981\" followed by the official registration of the author as a British Citizen by the Secretary of State, exercising the powers granted by the British Nationality Act 1981.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis captivating story will resonate with legal immigration experts, members of Indian, Pakistani, and East European communities residing in the U.K. both legally and illegally, as well as asylum seekers. Britannia Waives The Rules sheds light on the complexities and injustices faced by individuals seeking a better life, highlighting the need for reform and a more compassionate approach to immigration policies. It serves as a cautionary tale that underscores the importance of upholding the principles of fairness, equality, and human rights in the realm of immigration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 220g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 209 x 298 x 10 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781805140573\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr Narhari Patel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44596304511226,"sku":"9781805140573","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1696004362534_book.jpg?v=1696155210","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/britannia-waives-the-rules-story-of-the-quandary-of-my-status-of-british-citizenship-9781805140573","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
