Thanksgiving is upon us in the US, and personally, it’s our favorite holiday. Get together with family and/or friends and eat. What could be better!

As a result of the recent Presidential election here in this country, many people are leaving or threatening to leave the country. Which is Why the Cotswolds is bracing itself for an American invasion. “From Ellen DeGeneres to Barbra Streisand, Trump’s victory has prompted the rich and famous to threaten self-imposed exile,” The Telegraph reported.

Things to keep in mind, if you’re considering that route, or anywhere in Great Britain: taxes are considerably higher and Britain now has the highest industrial energy prices in the world. The dollar is stronger against the pound, true, although do keep in mind that power outages are not a rare occurrence there across the pond. But if it’s socialism you want, it’s socialism you will get. Nor will you have the same freedoms. Of speech, for example and “Think before you post”: The U.K. is now jailing people for social media comments.

If you’re thinking about leaving the country for a few years – let’s say, oh, four – all well and good. But think long and hard before giving up your US citizenship. It is possible to hold dual citizenship – but do check with tax laws and codes. If you surrender your citizenship, keep in mind that it’s not as easy to get it back as you might think. It’s also expensive.

So much to think about. So many choices. But it’s Thanksgiving and the most pressing decision you really need to make at the moment is white meat or dark?

We have much to be thankful for, looking back over the past few years. We survived a pandemic, global flooding, hurricanes, tornados, bomb cyclones, the demise of the dishonest mainstream media, and the rise of Joe Rogan.

Enjoy your turkey, or whatever you happen to be having as your main course, and this time that you’re able to spend with family and friends. This is the time to eat, drink and be merry, and no matter how tempted you might be and the turkey aside, relax and enjoy the day, and do the best you can not to cry fowl! Onward and forward.
