Immigration to the United Kingdom - Ice age.

As sea levels rose these first immigrants would have been isolated from mainl ...

| | | | Immigration to the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - History of British nationality law - Early British nationality law British nationality law has its origins in mediæval times. There has always been a distinction in English law between the subjects of the monarch and aliens: the monarch's subjects owed him allegiance, and included those born in his dominions (natural-born subjects) and those who later gave him their allegiance (naturalised subjects or denizens).
A summary of early English common law is provided by Sir William Blackstone, who wrote about the law 1765-69.1. Natural-born subjects were born within the dominion of the crown. When the Bri ...

| | | | Immigration to the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - Culture of England - Art Main article: English art
English art is a term referring to a vast body of art originating from the geographical region presently referred to as England. This results in the term being almost indefinable, although Nikolaus Pevsner attempted a definition in his 1956 book The Englishness of English Art.
It has developed over millennia to several current movements, such as Brit art, and encompasses all forms - painting, sculpture and performance art.
Famous English artists presently working ...

| | | | Immigration to the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - English people - History The English as an ethnic group can trace their heritage back to the Anglo-Saxons (or Old English), who between the 5th and 7th centuries, after the withdrawal of the Roman Empire, came to occupy most of lowland Britain (although a lack of documentation from the "Dark Ages" (Early Middle Ages) means few individuals can prove such descent). The name of the area known as England derives from this settlement. The tribes participating in this conquest of Britain included the Angles, the Jutes, ...

| | | | Immigration to the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - British nationality law - Dual nationality and dual citizenship In general there is no restriction, in United Kingdom law, on a British national being a citizen of another country as well. So, if a British national acquires another nationality, they will not automatically lose British nationality. Similarly, a person does not need to give up any other nationality when they become British.
Different rules apply in the cases of British protected persons and certain British subjects. A person who is a British subject otherwise than by connection with the Republic of Ireland will lose that status on a ...

The Hong Kong handover resulted in yet another nationality: British National (Overseas) or BN(O). There were some 3.5 million residents of Hong Kong who held British Dependent Territories citizen (BDTC) status by virtue of their connection with Hong Kong. Another 2 million other Hong Kong residents are believed to have been eligible to apply to become BDTCs. Upon handover, they would lose this status and became solely PRC citizens. Uncertainty about the future of Hong Kong ...
