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 learning it wasn't about the US. But ok
No no no, he's just american and thinks the universe centers around the US
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.
Hey Buddy, this article is about UK and you argue for it to be about the US. Clearly the UK did not pass a law to bend over for your orange overlord.
