Jamal Osman- I am a British citizen – not a second citizen

I am a British citizen – not a second-class citizen
Coming through passport control is an ordeal, I am followed on the street and hassled by security services. Not all citizens enjoy the same rights.

lol this the norm now, we just have to get used to it- but remember one thing never get angry with them- but I made my feelings very clear- that they should never stop me again-to ask me silly questions - but you never know ! I feel sorry specially for somali British - lately they Home Secretary Theresa May she strip off the British citizenship from many many non native .

[SecretAgent]

Were you using a danish passport ? Jamal case is different hes a journalist from a dangerous country

[Cunaaye25]

Yep-- and I've residing in UK for over 13 years - And I don't intend to ever take the British Passport

[blizzard90]

yumyum its true, they will ask you questions which seem silly but that only the real owner of the passport can answer.
Like "what nationality are ur neighbours how many kids do they have" "what colour is front door" "some of your college friends name"

These reasons why most somalis from europe that live in the uk dont ever bother getting british citzenship, even though some have lived here for 10+ years.

Urm it's easy to give up an Italian passport for UK citizenship but the same is not true for a Scandinavian passport. You think they will let you get UK citizenship if you hold a Danish one? The only way that is possible is if they renounced their citizenship in Denmark but no one would do that because it's not worth the risk as a UK one isn't guaranteed. Anyone can riskan Italian passport.

Let me guess: Jamal Osman was Issaaq?
