It won't help you if you want to get the citizenship, besides in most cases doing that is not even feasible. Got to decide whether you want to immigrate there or not.
A friend of mine also lives in the UK and has the same arrangement as Fred. Another friend of mine lives in the Netherlands and is doing the same thing right now. I don't wanna get ahead of myself and say that it's possible in my case but I'm hoping it is.
