The Brexit UK? The one that still observes their monarchy and has a "House of Lords" with hereditary peers? That's the MAGA endgame don't rush it you will get there soon.

Are they stupid? The UK is headed in the exact same direction.

I can picture a few reasons.

They want to GTFO/move to Europe, but not willing to learn another language, and they're not aware of Ireland's existence.

They have ancestry claims to citizenship and/or other existing links to the UK.

They watched too many British movies/TV shows and think England is nicer than it is.

They're getting jobs in London.

Not every European country is equally easy to move too.

Y’all need a computer scientist? I like rainy weather and can pretend to enjoy tea. I can’t pretend to like beans on toast.

The coffee is good these days so you don’t have to drink tea, & cheese on toast with beans is amazing (has to be cheddar or something with some zing to it!), maybe a little onion or something grilled in with the cheese.

Holy shit, beans on toast actually sounds amazing.

Sorry, the UK decided they didn't have any use for computer scientists after WWII.
