"I'm not some sort of secret Reform voter, OK? As a Brit (albeit a Brit abroad), I've got no problem with rich immigrants coming to the UK and taking all our mansions. I just think they really ought to integrate and not bring their funny foreign ideas with them. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, I'm talking to you. The California couple arrived in the UK last year just before Donald Trump won the election."
"As soon as the votes were in, they declared they weren't going back, and would stay on the saner side of the Atlantic. I'm not sure how the immigration logistics worked, but it seems one in, one out schemes don't apply to people coming in on big jets, only small boats. The pair bought a fancy pad in the Cotswolds and DeGeneres buttered up the locals during a public appearance in July by declaring Everything here is just better."
Several American celebrities announced plans to leave the United States after Donald Trump's election and some relocated abroad. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi moved to the UK, purchased a home in the Cotswolds, and publicly praised local life. Reports claim the couple now miss friends and dislike British winters and may consider returning to the U.S. The situation exposes perceived inconsistency when political objections are followed by returns for personal comfort. Multiple Hollywood figures announced departures but few followed through; Amy Schumer previously suggested moving to Spain if Trump won, later calling the remark a jest.
