    I applied for my British passport yesterday. The only form of payment that worked (after three browsers) was Apple Pay. Directly entering my card didn’t work and directly entering my wife’s card didn’t work in Firefox. Tried Chrome. Google Pay didn’t work in Chrome despite being offered. Finally Apple Pay worked in Safari.

    This dude is fucked.

        Dual citizen. I’m legally British because of my father, but I’ve never taken advantage of it before. Born and raised in the U.S. (although I’ve been over plenty of times).

          Would you move there in the wake of the election?

            That’s what we’re doing. My daughter is queer and I feel like this is the safest thing to do for her.

              Oh wow. Good for you. I would get the hell out too. It’s already very dangerous now.

              Bit of a shame that bringing her best friend with y’all would be considered kidnapping.

      Sorry to hear we will be “losing you”; but hope you can return one day.

      I have a couple of reasons I can’t do the same thing.

        Maybe. I’m 47. I’ll be 51 if Trump leaves office in 4 years. But maybe my daughter can eventually return.
