Kuwait has withdrawn the citizenship of its ambassador to the United Kingdom, Badr Mohammed Al-Awadhi, in a rare decision that leaves a serving diplomat without the nationality of the state he was accredited to represent.

    I agree with you technically (and the UK has always had some dictatorship vibes going for it), but even the UK doesn’t have a “supreme committee for deciding who we want in the country or who we’re racist against”

    From your own link:

    From 2010 to 2018 (the latest figures on record), on average 19 people a year were deprived of their citizenship where it was conducive to the public good.

    Kuwait however is doing it by the thousands apparently

    Hell, tens of thousands annually

    This is something that Trump would love to have in the US, but as it is I don’t think even he can get people’s citizenships revoked en masse yet.
