  2. “I’m from a war-torn country and face extreme consequences for being homosexual”

    Where are you from lad, Somalia? Iraq?

    “Texas”

  3. Excellent, get some of that American industrious attitude over here setting up some businesses instead of moaning about the state of things.

  4. Why do we want even more traitors here? It’s bad enough with the Reformites sabotaging our democracy.

  5. Any anti Trump ‘Muricans will be welcomed with open arms

  6. Funny we don’t see the usual anti-immigration crowd here

  7. as long as they never voted Trump and use their inside voice, thats fine by me!

  10. Maybe like the Ukrainens they will get here, realise what a fucking shithole it is and then go back to war

  11. If they’ve chosen the UK they might want to tour the place first.i hear London is wonderful and only getting better.

  12. Why would you have to apply for citizenship shouldn’t you be able to just show up and demand the UK citizens provide for you?

  13. The mayflower spite mission didn’t play out right in the end, eh?

  14. Presumably Americans applying for British citizenship are already living here, and have just decided they are more committed to staying here longer term.

  15. They know they can just get on an infloatable boat right?

  17. 6000, in a year? Wow, how many US citizens are there? Oh 330,000,000.

    That kinda puts things into perspective.

    What is a normal year? Well, the prior year was about 5000 people so it’s up 20%. Hardly a surge.

    Well, I guess CNN got an article out of it.

  18. Welcome to all American refugees from Trump! They work hard and have can-do spirit. Exactly the sort of immigrants that will benefit UK.

  19. As long as they speak English and share our values, they’re welcome. Unlike the others.
