Petition started for Manx nationality option

An online petition has been started to get Manx recognised as a nationality.

It's been sparked by the interim census document which has been issued this week.

Residents have been asked to select their nationality - the options available are British, Irish, Polish, Filipino, South African, Portuguese, German or 'other'.

The petition is calling for the Isle of Man Government to include Manx as a nationality in the future - you can find a link to it here.
