    We should impose the same restrictions and discretions on visitors to the UK from The USA that they impose when we visit them ,they do not make you exactly welcome.

    Why should we (as in the UK government) impose the same restrictions on US citizens? It is their government imposing the restrictions, not the people themselves. Why let them suffer? Americans come to the UK and spend lots of money, why make it harder for them to do that?

    I remember reading somewhere that there are more illegal aliens in the US than there are actual genuine citizens so perhaps that's why. :-)
    I'm sure many "Native Americans" banged up in reservations would definitely agree with that one :sad:
    Can I help?

    The government is a tool of the people and the people elect the government ,it is in the hands of the people to change the government if it takes away civil liberties.
    I was creating an analogy,we also spend money in the USA and America makes it difficult for us to visit its shores,freedom of movement is a basic right
