British nationality in XXIst century British Colonial Empire

"The 1981 Nationality Act harmonised immigration and citizenship law by incorporating patriality into the definition of citizenship. It created British Dependent Territory Citizenship for those without direct blood links to the UK. This status was especially anomalous for citizens in the oceanic island dependencies. Invasion led to the restoration of citizenship to all Falklanders, and the St. Helenians are promised restoration but the status of the Ilois of the Chagos Archipelago remains unclear given that they were forcibly removed to Mauritius by the British colonial administration. Muddle, inconsistency and racism continue to mark the evolution of immigration and citizenship law."
