Some 8,790 Americans sought citizenship in the UK, either through registration or naturalisation in 2025, according to Home Office data published Thursday.

      Well that’s at least what the right wing media wants you to believe.

      Actually things are looking pretty good for the UK. Even Reform seems to have peaked in voter share and is on the way down. The most recent by-election is a race between greens and labour with Reform nowhere near those two.

      There’s a subreeddit “GoodNewsUK” which is a pretty good reality check.

      I mean, you don’t just get shot on the street legally, and we don’t have ICE (yet), and not everything is a complete scam… But maybe in 20 years we’ll be there. Hopefully the UK takes a different route, and I doubt the “infrastructure” is there to go full “legal slavery and for profit prisons” British MAGA to begin with.

        You say that, but there’s stuff like Brexit and now this age verification bullshit: I’m not convinced Britain is that far behind.

        Does a UK passport allow you to live in other parts of the Commonwealth than just British Isles?

          I don’t think so, sadly, but I’m not entirely sure. I’m leaning towards no. A EU passport is more flexible, and one can move to Spain and become a national somewhat quickly and then idk settle in Germany or Finland if you want to. Ofc if SHTF in Europe that’s a different story, but I guess you could in theory move to French Guyana, lol.
