British PM Johnson's father applying for French citizenship


Recommended Posts

Posted

The words "rat" and ""sinking ship" spring to mind. I'm half Irish, and I must admit getting an Irish passport has crossed my mind, just for the visa free travel thing. In fact, going back in time, when I was as fit as <deleted>, when it was a toss up between the Royal Marines and the Foreign Legion, that guarantee of French citizenship was pretty tempting; unfortunately life, in the sense of a woman, intervened, and I went a totally different course.

He knows little England is going down the drain. What irony it was his son who gave it the final push.

If I understand it correctly, I am French. My mother was born in France

If I understand correctly, this would make Boris a quarter French...

How about that.

Now for more pressing matters, will all the European players in the EPL now have to apply for Work Permits?  Will some of the lesser EU players not qualify for a WP?

or New York - where baby Boris was born

 

Did he get an American SS number? That would obligate him to pay US taxes to the IRS. Fork it over, pal.

Leads me to suspect that Boris is a "Russian asset."  Papa wants to be a French citizen.  France has always had a close relationship with Russia.  Boris is not exactly an Anglo-American name.

 

Come to think of it, there are a few apparent connections between our Boris and Boris Godunov, who began his political career in the court of Ivan the Terrible.

If only the Brits could "impeach" their leaders.....

I'm getting a Thai passport next week and it's tempting to burn my British one.

  What would be the point in doing that ?

You could still get a new one to replace the burnt one .

  How is that a "betrayal" ?

Boris Johnsons Dad is already French (as his Mother was French) and he has business interests/connections there and he was just making it easier for himself to go to France

It is not that opportunistic politician "bull....t"...that he feel French ,..But the fact is simple the 146 country's visa free access a European passport like mine ,can give on World access , he and other Brits like to keep...

 

They liked the E.U. but hated  they were not allowed to sit in the drivers seat ...????????????

 

in other words, they liked to take and didn't like to give back or share.... 555
