it will also cost you £900 and youll have to sing the national anthem

And in many cases previous costs of close to 1k for ILR and 1k for original lvisa its a very big money making industry for the goverment .

and another 1k for the previous ILR and before that another 1k for the original visa ...its a huge source of revenue for the goverment thats for sure .

True, so easy to get 'lost' in the country and/or legal system once you are here.

You'd better tell that to the UK Border Agency:

No. My passport clearly says "British Citizen".
The old stiff blue ones used "British Subject".

Showing my age. It appears that I was wrong. It all changed in 1983, when the term "British Subject" was discontinued as the British Nationality Act 1981 came into force. I'm sorry for my ignorance and misplaced assertion on this subject.

Carry on.
