For Anon UK.
You cannot renounce your British citizenship. You always retain it like the ilk of Elizbeth Taylor and Bob Hope.
I am British and have lived in Brazil for 50 years. If there were certain extenuating circumstances to becoming Brazilian I would have no hesitation in applying for citizenship. Brazil, the UK and many others recognize dual citizenship.

Why give this person space in print. He has renounced his citizenship of this country to become an american so chuck him out and write about people who are loyal to their country.
