Totally agree, removal of citizenship, just as with imprisonment should not be automatic on conviction to cater for such cases which are minor or accidental.

And there is a minority of muslims who deliberately avoid paying tax and scrounge off the state as a form of attack, draining its resources and encouraging other muslims to do the same.
Incidently, a lot of this minority are former asylum seekers, coming here because they claim to be under threat from their own countries.
I have a strong view on what it is to be british, or rather what someone who is british should not do, and I'm proud to be british.
I also, thanks to my experiences, have a strong view on what it is to be muslim.
There is no reason why someone who is a british muslim should do anything which tarnishes their britishness for the sake of their religion.
