AS AN 83-year-old retired, long service British serviceman, born in Wolverhampton in 1933, of British parents and grandparents, is the Home Office now going to be forced to give me back my British subject (of our Queen) status which they took away from me, without even a by your leave, in 1984, if I remember correctly? I would then go quietly with a smile on my face, which I didn’t expect would ever happen until last week.

And no, I am not a little Englander, but I am a Great Britainer.
