No, that's still not the case.
Irrespective of holding that other passport / nationality, they still ARE British, and have the same rights of any other British citizen.

That's not how dual citizenship works. I have dual citzenship and am completely British as well as being completely something else.

Posting it twice does not normally make you right, but in this case you are.

But you would be more British than both of them - is that correct?

i think the concept that citizenship is separate from where you are born is totally lost on him.

Given the criteria mentioned, he is 'more' British than, say, John Barnes, Ted Dexter, Ben Kingsley, Cliff Richard, Emma Watson, Prince Philip, Bradley Wiggins, Freddie Mercury, to name a few...
Arbitrary list - but then, arbitrary criteria...

You suggested very strongly that someone without two British parents cannot be as British as someone with two British parents. (You may well have thinned down Winston Churchill there.) You added a reference to where in the world someone was born, by which I assume you mean that a person such as Boris Johnson is a bit diluted when it comes to Britishness.
I don't give a toss about the fat lying philanderer although I believe he's a hero to some.

How do you define being British?
Please. A speyside would go down nicely right now.

Anyone else on NSC with a non-British parent granted indefinite leave to remain many years ago starting to get uneasy like me?

Yes, of course I do. So my mum and I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to worry then?

None, unless you have just come back from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and been a very naughty boy.

I am not worried for myself, just my mum. Your faith in the home office is touching. However I have been reading about people who have been granted indefinite leave to remain, but have been unable to prove it and have had a nightmare dealing with the consequences. This is quite close to home for me.
