I also heard an interview with a woman who was waiting for her brother outside the hotel.

"He is in there, I don't know where he is, I am just waiting."

The BBC interviewer said "And is he - does he work at the hotel?"

"No," she said, somewhat flatly. "He is a [management or higher position, I forget]."

The interviewer had the gall to sound surprised.

UK citizenship law was changed so that if you were after 1983, you weren't automatically entitled to UK citizenship. So technically, you could be British-born but not hold British citizenship.

I don't know whether or not that's what they were, but I find that a lot of people assume that British citizenship is an automatic right if you're born in Britain, and actually that isn't true anywhere in the EU (Ireland was the last, but the referendum in 2004 changed that.)
