A 500 foot Noah’s Ark being built in Hialeah

Americans renouncing citizenship to become British thanks to tax rise
London-based American lawyers, who specialise in tax and immigration, report a threefold increase over the last five years in the number of American citizens who are giving up their citizenship – a process known as “renunciation”.

This was my introduction to the Fabian socialists.
