More Rhodesians, per capital, were killed in WW2 than any other nation on the planet, including England!
That's when the Rhodesian African Rifles came into existence. Black folk were also coerced into fighting a war in a far away land that they didn't give a rat's arse about.
The Gurkas were also booted into touch.
The British owe us. Full stop.

I know all this, it's just British nationality law is so confusing and not consistent at all. I have three British grandparents yet it's bloody hard/expensive for me to get one and I was interrogated and searched last time I was in the UK as they thought I was gonna over stay. :roll:

I'm suspecting that there were a couple of Covid positive results that came back. Covid is here with a bang. If they had extensive testing, particularly antibody testing you'd find a large percentage of the population have had it, particularly the younger generation, they have been trying to lead normal lives and its almost a guarantee that many have had it and didn't even know.

I’ve never looked into British citizenship, but I know that it’s parent lineage for citizenship, not grandparent. Ireland and Italy offer grandparent descent.

There’s also a path if you’re a student, get married or work sponsorship.

Also Aussies and a lot of non African countries can get the youth visa for 1/2 years.

Side note;
I remember seeing Prosper Utseya claim Irish citizenship in that cricket exchange website a few years back. Doubt that’s true but if it is I’d love to see what he did lol.

Theyre forever amending citizenship legislation and occasionally there's a new route through a grandparent. The latest was if you have a grandparent that went to a colony on Crown Service, then you're eligible. They go as far as to check the passenger manifest on the ship to make sure.
