      For God’s sake, haven’t they heard about Farage, Brexit, Reform, and Restore?? What’s in the States right now is being pushed heavily in the UK.

      Some people left Germany early before World War 2. Maybe they were overly paranoid.

      .. but at some point, paranoia became prudence. I guess the question is where that point is.

      When the direction of migration flips, you know something’s shifting, right.

      Recently Canada changed its citizenship law so now you can make a claim is any of your ancestors were born in Canada at any point in the past 400 years or so. Canada is getting pounded with applications from Americans.

      Could also be linked with the new rules that required British Citizens (including by descent) to have a valid UK passport to enter the country.

      As a Canadian, I know for a fact that Bill C-3 (passed December 15, 2025) made it trivially easy for anyone who has a Canadian citizen ancestor to apply for Canadian citizenship by descent. Lots of people who live in the states that border Canada are probably Canadian citizens because of it (unless, of course, you were born after the passage of the law, then your Canadian citizen parent must have resided in Canada for 3 years before your birth for you to get it).

      Now, to be honest, while the cost of living is higher in British cities like London than Canadian cities like Toronto, I think there is one thing that Britain is good for–if you cannot drive or don’t want to drive, you don’t have to. The existence of the Tube in London and the extensive train networks, although exceedingly expensive to use, allow you to leave the driving to someone else.

      genuinely curious how, nowadays. Like as someone who lived in the UK for several years with work sponsorship and what was known as a tier 2 visa, it was all employer driven. And to be clear, some of the best years of my life.

      But to go about without employment sponsorship, how? Just, how? Looked into it and it appears many a celeb and the wealthy have just… up and left to go to England. Like, how..?!

      Everyone imagines random Americans going for citizenship via family descent or work visas with no context of how the UK works. The reality is that many have British partners that would really rather not stay in the U.S. given the regressive nature of what has been seen in American society for the past 5-6 years particularly. So “Come dear, Let’s build a life in the U.S.” is a bit of a hard thing to sell. If you love your spouse enough, you won’t try to make them.

      TLDR; British spouses have a say -> Couples choose the UK over the USA

      How about they stay and help fix the mess they caused here in the US?

      With the way the UK has been locking down their Internet it doesn’t sound much better. From one owellian shithole to another.

      Mostly the sane folks getting out leaving the MAGA delusionals behind which is exactly what the Republicans want so that they can rule until nothing of US is left.

      Britain also just changed their entry rules if you’re a dual US/UK citizen. You have to enter on your British passport now, so that may also be part of the surge in applications
