Any drawback to Dual Nationality?

Everyone got along famously.

And there lies the beauty of cricket. I can't say I've never seen trouble at a match - one time at the Oval someone started sounding off at this fella because he'd brought his wife and kids - but it's normally a very congenial atmosphere.

I've nothing against her. But I most certainly do not value one life more than another.

So you hold Mother Teresa and Ian Brady in the same regard?

Typo, iPhone autocorrect!

As a matter of interest Irish citizens are deemed to have settled status in UK from day one, i.e. effective ILR and vice-versa.

Yep. Residents of Northern Ireland have the choice of either passport, or both.

I think you'll find that's all sports bar football. I've been watching Formula One for 30 years and not once has there ever been any need to segregate fans or any hint of people reverting to tribalism.

Fair point.

It's generally a respectful (gentlemanly?) game - the players don't come across as arrogant, they respect the umpires, fielders will applaud batsmen at centuries, etc. Respect on the pitch is reflected in the fans watching it. I think that's also true in rugby but to a lesser extent as some of the players are arrogant, but they still respect the ref.
...and then there's football. Arrogant, overpaid players, no respect for the ref, no respect for the opposition, no respect from the fans.

Bet you do. Your own, or your family, for example, over a stranger on the street.

Yeah well- the working class must have their circus.

Apparently Mother Teresa was a fraud.

Ian Brady mentally ill.

I'm not excusing their actions, to be clear.

Not the way i was raised to think. All life ends. Very few of us choose when to end it.

How much would you spend to save you own life? How much would you spend to save a stranger's life in Bhutan?
