<p>Thailand&#8217;s prime minister has a confession to make &#8211; he is also British.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Abhisit Vejajjiva publicly acknowledged his dual nationality on Thursday for the first time during a debate in Parliament.</p>
<p>Mr Abhisit, 46, automatically holds British citizenship because he was born in Newcastle, to parents from a well-to-do Bangkok family. </p>
<p>He would have to specifically renounce it to lose it.</p>
<p>Mr Abhisit&#8217;s political foes have highlighted the matter, claiming that as a British citizen he can be sued in an international court over alleged abuses during his administration&#8217;s crackdown on anti-government protests last year.</p>
<p>Opponents like to tease Mr Abhisit for his upper-class Oxford University education, and typically refer to him in speeches by his English name, Mark.</p>
