What the petition asks
Automatically grant legal citizenship to foreign nationals who have lived and paid taxes in the UK for over 20 years or were born to parents who have done this. We believe they should have the right to be considered British, and should receive citizenship without any hassle or fees.
We do not believe someone should be charged over £2000 to become a British citizen if they have lived and paid taxes here for over 20 years, and that living here for over 20 years demonstrates that they are here to stay and happy to be part of your society.
We also believe the children of foreign nationals, who have not all been given British citizenship, should also be granted citizenship and should not be charged any fees either.
