It depends.

If your parents were British citizens I believe you've got a legal claim
on UK citizenship. Otherwise, you're a foreign immigrant, and since
1970 successive governments have tightened up on immigration into the UK
to the point where it's probably fair to say that's it's harder to get
into the UK than the USA -- unless you're an EU resident. So the
easy option is probably to locate a friendly and easy-to-cope-with EU
government, get residence on their soil, then move. Ireland, maybe?
