    What illegal alien trying to steal jobs or gov handouts or whatever will go from Denmark to Britain?

    Or actually why would anybody at all want to go to Britain?

    While British citizens have a statutory right to enter the UK they must prove they are British, which Hanne is able to provide as she has her birth certificate with her. She was born in Sussex and has lived all her life in the UK.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli

    Under the current law, if neither parent is British or settled, then a child born in the UK can apply for British citizenship if they have spent the first ten years of their life in the UK

    But she is British because her father is. Being born in Britain doesn’t make her British without approved application. She must have applied for the passport because she knew about the risk but took it.

    The issue is:

    The Home Office recently said British nationals could use an expired passport but acceptance as proof of nationality was at the discretion of the airline.

    The airline, Norwegian, rang the British embassy in Copenhagen but they could not help.

    The airline doesn’t want to take the risk to fly her back to Denmark. The birth certificate which should name her father should proof to the British immigration officer that she is British.

      She is still at school and the article states that she has missed two weeks of classes already ahead of her final exams. There is a quote from the headteacher of her school stating “She is currently missing taught lessons across all subjects and is at risk of missing important assessments, including GCSE exams.” In this case it’s not just ‘framing’ but an important detail.

      What else description would you find more fitting for a sixteen year old who is still in school? Do you want to imply other characteristics of her were more important or that she is not a schoolgirl at all?
      I don’t get what you are trying to say.

        I don’t get why she is called schoolgirl given that the story has little to do with school, as far as I understand it

          Did you miss the paragraph about how this risks her graduation?

          And again, what do you think is this “framing” supposed to accomplish? What are we meant to overlook etc?
