Closed Birthright Citizenship. Grant automatic UK citizenship to everyone born here.

Closed on

Before 1981, if you were born here you were a British Citizen. Now, even if you and both your parents were born in the UK and your grandparents moved here legally, you could still be denied citizenship. As the Windrush Scandal demonstrates, is wrecking the lives of innocent people.
