      The UK is part of 5 Eyes. They swap info on citizens among members. No warrants, no constitutional protections. All they have to do is ask MI5 for info on Americans with dual citizenship.

        That stretch of logic sounds an awful lot, like a post-hoc justification after assuming it was about the US. But ok

          One of my in-laws has dual England/US citizenship. They divide their time between the two countries. It directly effects them.

            I don’t doubt that. But its still a large stretch, to think the UK passed a law applying to all UK citizens, specifically to give the US access to a few thousand dual citizens.

            I’m thinking LoudWaterHombre was right. You simply have an extremely US centric mindset.

            No, the only thing I wish would center around the US is an asteroid. I absolutely hate it here, but I don’t have the means to leave.
