By the way do you actually have a britsh passport or do you have a foreign one (careful there is a difference) issued in the UK??
I'm sorry why should someone be forced to have a passport to travel within their own country? The showing of ID is more to make sure that the passenger on the ticket is infact the person checking-in and not for security reasons. Why wouldn't a drivers licence be considered proper ID? It's issued by the Government same as a passport. I have never taken a domestic flight in the UK, but have plenty of times in Australia using either quick check or OLCI both of which allow me to board the plane without any ID ever being cited and I would assume the same is possible in the UK.
The OP said they were a dual national.
