#7  any AQ sleeper isn't going to be bothered by becoming 'British'

Tony, I seem to recall some Muslim preachers in the UK telling their followers not to accept British citizenship because the ceremony included an oath to the Queen. Do I have that right? If so, how would nationality change differ from this?

#5  That's right. The UK refers to England and Nova Scotia.

#3  Or how about the Scots, are they considered British or am I confusing British and English?

Yes. Great Britain is the whole island which includes England, Wales and Scotland.

#2  Wonder if it applies to the Gurkhas? Or how about the Scots, are they considered British or am I confusing British and English?

#1  Sounds a very dumb idea - as the article says, any AQ sleeper isn't going to be bothered by becoming 'British'. More PC rubbish, but as HM is not too pleased with this, maybe it can get canned before it goes too far?
