Well, let's see. The war was in 1982 and they've only been allowed
full British citizenship since 1983. Prior to that they were
second-class Brits, so I guess the tyranny ended in 1983, huh?


Show me a passport that says 'second class British citizen' will you ?

Note the "Overseas" bit.


But not "second class".
