A friend in NYC, who is historically rather dramatic sent me this -
‘ things in this country are getting very scary - I am not sure how much you are paying attention. The atmosphere of fear and intimidation is very real and the economic situation is very precarious. XXX University is in very serious trouble. I need to come to the UK to get my passport renewed as soon as I possibly can. This is not a joke or a drill, it is very real.’
shes right, I’m not paying that much attention beyond reading headlines.
it sounds as if she needs to flee. Do I need to be worried?
AIBU in thinking that you just renew your British passport online?

If this isn't a scam text, let them know they can renew on line.
And don't offer a place to stay when they get back, they sound very draining!

An actual friend, or someone you ‘know’ from online?

That sounds about right for the US currently.
