Petitions – Stop Gender/Age Discrimination In The Borders, Immigration & Citizenship Bill!
The Borders, Immigration & Citizenship Bill requires all those born abroad to a UK mother prior to 1983 to register with the UKBA and pay an exorbitant fee (presently in excess of £500) before they can apply for a UK passport. Anyone born in the same circumstances after 1983 or at anytime to a UK father can simply complete a passport application without the need to register. The registration/fee is required regardless of country of residence so that even someone who has lived in the UK for most of their lives, is a taxpayer, a home owner and has known no other country, still has to register and pay the fee.

I was asked by a friend on Twitter if I could sign the mentioned petition and I gladly obliged as this is just so wrong! This is what he said to me, “I have to register & pay £540 to claim my British citizenship by descent. If my Father was British I could claim without paying the registration fee!
