Will the ECHR step in, with the usual "right to a family life"?

Oh, I forgot those type of rules only apply to the UK.

didn't you or someone post this, i seem to recall seeing on a/b a few days ago.

and i don't see why we can't deport our undesirables, except many of those were born here.

From the article you linked to, which makes clear the difference between Germany and the UK, and why Germany can do it and the UK can't.

"Germany, like many European states, determines citizenship by the nationalities of one or both parents, and also a person’s place of birth.

A child can attain German citizenship by being born in Germany even if neither parent is German, but this only applies to children born on or after January 1, 2000."

thx hc I lost the will to explain

if a German child ( born there ) of two english parents who had not recorded the birth at the UK Embassy...
and they tried to deport the child to England
would the UK authorities accept on the grounds that he wasnt English under English law ?


relatively relevant for me as I am English born - but not bred - both parents were not born in the UK and I certainly would NOT look on myself as either or both of their nationalities

and it isnt 'getting away with it'
and it isnt a right to family life it is a matter of citizen ship
and the ECHR doesnt 'step in'
and ....
