        If the UK does not rejoin the EU it will become a permanent client state of the US.

        The dollar/pound ratio will become so whack average Americans will start vacationing there again, like during the Thatcher years.

          Okay ngl my immediate reaction to that is :sicko-hair:

          I’d love to be able to cheaply vacation in the UK. Even better if they open up immigration for us before the US collapses

              UK could be too if they went back to eating eel pies.

                  Wild eels driven from UK market:

                  That decades-old supply chain has suddenly become illegal because the EU in 2010 banned the export of European eels outside the bloc — and since January 1, Britain has left that single market.

                  :chefs-kiss:

            But then you would be living in Terf Island which is hardly an upgrade.

              The big difference is I just expect gradual decline on terf island, vs the US which I expect to look like Syria or Nazi Germany in a decade or two.
