  3. Don’t fuck up your own country then come over here to ours! 

    gtfo!

  4. As long as they don’t eat all our food or shoot us i’m ok with that

  5. I’m working on Mexican citizenship right now. The lawyers are straightening out a birth certificate issue. Then my father gets it, then I get it, then my son gets it.

    From there we play it by ear.

  6. We Brits are perfectly capable of fucking our own country up (austerity, Brexit, electing Theresa May, electing Boris Johnson), we don’t need any Yankee help thanks

  7. Any Americans who want to live under the rule of law are welcome to immigrate to Canada. Bonus points if you’re educated.

    Americans are still our friends and family and we don’t forsake our allies.

  8. Is that supposed to be a lot? The population of the US is about 344 million.

  10. Atleast go someplace where they don’t idolize canned beans as top tier culinary food.

  11. I looked into it after election day, unfortunately having great grandparents born in Northern Ireland doesn’t fast track you.

  12. > More than 1,930 US citizens applied to call the UK home in the first three months of 2025, which is a stark 12 per cent increase from the previous quarter and the highest number on record.

    Not a fan of Trump but sounds like a bait article considering the increase has been only 230 people more than usual.

  14. My friend from the eastern block say the present Republican Party reminds them of pre-1989 communist rule.

  18. Is it like easy to apply for as an American?

    Or maybe it’s the people who were already in the process, trying to see if the correlation here is relevant

  19. Do people really think they’ll have a better quality of life in the UK than in the US, despite Trump being in power?

    I get not everyone agrees with how Trump is handling trade right now. But, the UK has essentially been stripped of all the rights and freedoms compared to what people get in the US. The US is still one of the best countries to live in, bar none.

    That aside, what a rage bait article. Those numbers are nothing. That’s been about the average for years now.

  20. How many UK citizens have applied for American citizenship in that period?

  21. Those are rookie numbers . That’s like 3 dinghy’s worth .

  22. Why the fuck would you want to come here? We’re starting to spiral ourselves.

  24. Why? If an election were today the Reform Party would win 325 seats making the UK as right wing as America

  26. Surely coming from a fascist state they can apply for asylum

  27. I applied for Spanish citizenship but I swear it was a coincidence lol

  28. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, with the current UK government.

  29. I tried to do that in 1995. They laughed at me then deported me. They said I had nothing to offer.

  30. , 1,900 is approximately 0.00056% of 340 million.

  31. Why apply? Just get on a dingy from France and then they’ll take care of everything for you once you arrive.

  32. How….does one go about applying? Going take a wild guess and say any career in ‘art and design’ probably isn’t high on their list of people they want to immigrate.

  34. Americans finding out now what immigrants around the world have known for decades: You can’t just point at a country on a map and magically be granted a long term visa there.

  35. I really don’t like the idea of setting your house on fire through negligence and bad decisions and then running to someone else’s house with your hazardous mentality and behaviour.
