Your political culture...My roots are half British and half Swiss, living in Switzerland. I'm curious to read your perspective on the UK.

Posts reference a new visa requirement—"I need a visa to go to London for 5 days now?"—complaints about charging/‘revenue generating’ fees; cultural stereotypes (Mary Poppins, suffragettes), mentions of football hooliganism, and governance of Sark described as a 'feudal island'.

The pro-Brexit Brits who live on the continent all over again.

This is good crack BUT the UK does still have de facto control over a feudal island en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sark

the durable idea of the bri*ish interior seems to be either mary poppins which was never anything like all of the country (but which involves suffeagettes who for Some Reason are also largely elided), or football hooliganism which really is a good bit more accurate to the culture.

There's one in Benidorm now. The spiritual home of the Brexiteer.

Apparently, the U.K. Is more CIVILIZED than we are. Still.

You may have to move away. Best wishes. Not many countries accept Americans without credentials for medicine, healthcare, sciences, teaching.
