My Dad attended the University of Warwick. His sister has a degree from Oxford. My grandparents attended the London School of Economics. Two of them were born in London, one in Cardiff, and one in Paris. My cousin was born and raised in London; his father in Glasgow. I’m eligible for a British passport.</p>
