I was born in the UK during BSE, and as a result I can’t give blood in Europe. People forget it but the scars are still there.

Might want to revisit the regulations of the country you're living in. Ireland [1] and, apparently recently, also Germany [2] at least have largely taken back the ban. If you're fluent in German, you can read the factual basis on which the RKI made its decision here [3].
