There are today thousands of British citizens who are separated from their wives and families, refused permission to work and refused admission to Britain. They hold British passports and may be forgiven for asking 'What are they worth?' Those Asians in East Africa who chose to become British citizens understandably now call themselves 'the forgotten people.' The East African governments tell them they are not wanted - despite having lived there most of their lives. Both Labour and Conservative immigration policies have denied them automatic right of entry to Britain - despite passports which once guaranteed exactly that.
The East African governments say it's not their responsibility; the British government says it has the situation under review. Tonight Man Alive looks at the plight of these British citizens and discusses some of the points the government's latest review will have to consider.
