    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.

      No dude, you have IP cameras rolled out alread, you’re primed for the AI surveillance state by 2029. You’re also just as deep in Israel’s blackmail book and they probably have most of your state secrets (which is why the prosecutions, they don’t care about the kids). Less violent, same destination.

      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.

        It doesn’t allow residence in the “British Isles”. It would however allow residence in Ireland.
