I’m not fond of this angle that Donofrio is peddling.
Neither am I.
I didn't even in know it was a legal requirement (that your father could not have been a British subject at the time of your birth...). This seems to be an overly arcane technicality. Being born in a foreign country, or perhaps having his citizenship renounced because he became a citizen of Indonesia -- sure, I can get behind these as being as disqualifiers... But this having one's father being a British subject at the time of birth garners no more from me than a shoulder shrug...
