Shooting at Washington Shipyard

The Bailiwick of Jersey was part of German occupied France from 30 June 1940 until 9 May 1945. What does that mean for English and Welsh law? And how is it related to the shooting in Washington?

Commonwealth to be occupied by the German Army during World War II.
The British Government demilitarised the islands in June 1940 and the Lieutenant-Governors were withdrawn on 21 June, leaving the insular administrations to continue government as best they could under impending military occupation.[7]
Before German troops landed, between 30 June and 4 July 1940, evacuation took place (many young men had already left to join the Allied armed forces): 6,600 out of 50,000 left Jersey whilst 17,000 out of 42,000 left Guernsey.[8] Thousands of children were evacuated with their schools to England and Scotland.


Crowds cheer as the Channel Islands are liberated at Saint Peter Port in 1945
The population of Sark largely remained where they were;[7] but in Alderney, the entire population, save for six persons, left. In Alderney, the occupying Germans built four concentration camps in which over 700 people out of a total prisoner population of about 6,000 died. Due to the destruction of documents, it is impossible to state how many forced workers died in the other islands.[7] These were the only Nazi concentration camps on British soil.[9][10]

They was part of English Empire not France for centuries..................

Do you know that the 13 Colonies declared independence from Great Britain in 1776?

WRONG

According to all what I can find, I am correct. To quote a local source, the Société Jersiaise: "Jersey was occupied by Nazi Germany from 30 June 1940 until the liberation on 9 May 1945."

So does Commonwealth of Puerto Rico enjoyed self government but they are still are US citizens and part of the US.

Already have cover that issue in my postings in detail.

Under the UK Interpretation Act 1978, the Channel Islands are deemed to be part of the British Islands,[23] not to be confused with the British Isles.

British Islands is a term within the law of the United Kingdom which since 1889 has referred collectively to the following four states:
- the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (formerly the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland);
- the Bailiwick of Jersey;
- the Bailiwick of Guernsey (including Alderney, Herm, and Sark);
and
- the Isle of Man.

But either you don't understand it or ...

Can they or can they not move to the UK mainland and take up the rights and duties of UK citizens or not?

They can do that if they were born in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Falkland Islands and several other places. It doesn't make Bermuda etc part of the UK.

It's a bit different since the British Isles are part of the EU, Bermuda isn't, the Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory ...

Actually the Channel Islands are a millionaire's playground. If you're not a Channel Islander, or very rich your chances of moving there permanently are pretty much zero.

In the same way America let the Philippines "hang out to dry."
