There is no worker protection for the first 2 years of your employment with a company, so you're essentially an at will employee (worse actually, you have less rights and still need to give notice).

You also have only laughable unemployment benefits (£85 per week), that don't depend on your contributions.

Again, completely untrue. Automatic unfair dismissal does not have a minimum tenure to be applicable. Here [1] is a handy list of protections that do not require two years. You've also conveniently ignored all the other benefits in that list that are not available in the US.

You've already been corrected by someone else on the unemployment benefits so I'll not waste time repeating that.

The UK has a lot of problems, but downplaying workers rights in comparison to the states is a strange hill to die on.
