Some 8,790 Americans sought citizenship in the UK, either through registration or naturalisation in 2025, according to Home Office data published Thursday.
Like most US folks, I wish I had job flexibility and the money to just up and emigrate. Alas most have no choice but to stay.
I gave up my career and started over in something entirely different at a paltry salary, but I got out.
I totally understand your decision, but historically emigration is FILLED with stories of even professionals like doctors and engineers needing to accept very low paid wage work and re-credentialing in exchange for a longer term reset in a better country.
Again, I absolutely get it - but that’s not the same thing as “no choice”.
Farage’s Britain is similar-enough to Trump’s America that it’s “golden”, but it’s still less-collapsed than the US, so it’s preferable, right??
England’s monarchism, its class-religion ( rooted in monarchism, so it’s short-term irremoveable ), & its framing-games ( Brexit was a result of 1 such ) make it the most-similar to the US, except for the “patriotism” indoctrination that is normal in schools in the US…
it’s a “good” fit
it’ll have consequences for England, of course, as all population-composition-changes do…
…helping Farage’s mission…
You can transplant the body, even the life, but you aren’t changing the religion, & the US’s religion PRODUCED the US’s current-condition, exactly the same as all our countries are in the process of distilling our own national-corruption-essences into authority-institutions, as quickly as we can, because we haven’t got spine-enough to filter-out DarkTriad from authority, in ANY of our countries…
Note the numbers, though: nearly 9k asking citizenship in the UK from the US…
https://blog.hireahelper.com/2025-texas-migration-report/ over 0.26-MILLION moved to texas in the year before 2025-Oct.
Yes, the drasticness of the change is different, but when you’ve got nearly 2 orders of magnitude difference between the opportunism vs the fleeing, then you’re seeing significant evidence of national-nature.
As a US citizen told me, years ago: “you’re welcome in Texas only as long as you’re leaving: don’t try settling there, no matter where you’re from, you AREN’T welcome there”, & over the years that has become more & more validated.
Use 'em & lose 'em, right?
I “wonder” if that paradigm, in-play for workers from other-states, also is in-play for immigrant farm-workers??

That the people with-means are escaping, is natural:
aren’t the oligarchs making certain that they’ve got their isolation, their coddling, & their security, including bunkers, ready & operating, for the butchering-down of the “masses”?
Why wouldn’t we who can afford to leave impending-hell zones do-so, with our families?
It’s the same principle…
We aren’t as causing-of-the-problem as the oligarchs are, but we’re still accommodating of the root-problem, & saving ourselves, leaving others to eat the coming atrocities, same as always…
That woke socialist convict, the root-guru of the Christians, Yesua benJoseph, he got in there with the people who were about-to-be-stoned-to-death, with the convicts, with the crushed, the destitute, etc, & fought for their-validity & their-rights…
No wonder he was exterminated by the privilege-conservatives of his time.
( he was conservative-of-LivingWorth, conservative-of-LivingPotential, & conservative-of-LivingOpportunity, so pretending, as the privilege-conservatives do, that THEY ALONE “own” the meaning of “conservative” is false, & always has been: they just conserve different things.
As a delightful Jewish mind on a TLC TV-show, last-century or so, identified: when benJoseph got violent on the commercial-operation of the Temple, that was an incredibly Jewish thing to do! … he was being conservative, just of the essence of Judaism, instead of its forms … & that difference is important.
All the false-framing in the world isn’t going to go-away for no reason: it has to be force-displaced! )

Farage’s Britain
Farage holds no office and his party has 8 MPs. Almost half of them hadn’t run as Reform candidates, but instead jumped ship from the Conservatives. By comparison, Labour has 404 MPs. The fasc-friendly media would love to market Reform’s success in 2028 as inevitable, but it’s just as likely that they’ll do well in the 2026 mid-terms (which are for local government positions), then fall on their faces in 2028 once people see how fanatical and incompetent they are when they’re in office.
Also, there’s a (small) chance that Labour will unwedge its collective head and pass much-needed laws reforming foreign funding of election campaigns and transparency of party donations. If they do so, Farage will be fucked.
Sorry it took so-long for me to reply: I’ve still got something like 700 notifications to get through…
I said Farage’s Britain, & the recent elections there have demonstrated that his-party’s the one mopping-up.
That is what I meant.
His kind’s Britain, & that’s increasing.
It is normal in times of stressful-change, for the population to go reactionary.
That’s just human nature.
The younger ones, the more woke ones, go the other way, but the whole political-process selects-for DarkTriad types, & … that has consequences.
Starmer’s apparently willing to sacrifice Britain for sake of his-ruling-his-party…
That’s a problem…
That helps Farage’s mission gain traction…
Which itself is part of the whole multidimensional-mess…

Coming back home eh?
