Well, my take is that the story of Al-Fayed's success in buying Harrod's is behind all this. Lonrho's Tiny Rowland (ya mein herren und damen zat Herr Tiny) had his eyes on Harrods but the bloody cheeky wog got it first - thanks to Arab money.
And Tiny, bless his Hitler Youthness and SISness, wasn't pleased. And so, while the gun-running Al-Fayed may have acquired Harrod's the Establishment will be damned in hell before they will a) allow him to become a passport holding British citizen, and b) forgive him in all eternity.
But I may, of course, be entirely wrong... :itsme:

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
