The UK is much further progressed than the US towards reindustrializing since they’ve already impoverished their working class which is probably a prerequisite.

Unlike the US, which totally doesn't have an impoverished working class? Both countries have completely povertous working classes.

The US is on the path to be sure but the British are more impoverished. That’s not praise of the US, the British are more progressed.

The US has more extreme poverty but at that point it’s not even useful. It’s hard to put chronically homeless people with an array of health problems acquired from living outside to work in a factory.

The class of people capable of working in factories are more impoverished in the UK though.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of British isles natural resources already exploited after centuries?

There is still mining potential left. And Oil, Ferberite, the rest is mostly sand & gravel. Anglo American extracts potash in Yorkshire, I think. They could always mine coal, but like there are only 200+ coal miners left from the 690.000 in the 60s.

That is why they need an impoverished working class. The children yearn for the factories.

Maybe if you are trying to recreate 19th century factories.
