The point Stef is making is that the UK has slid far enough down the 
slope towards a police state by now that it is becoming onerous to 
travel to it. Especially the way border control treats non-UK citizens, 
even moreso Eastern Europeans, does not necessarily make for happy 
travels. For me personally it is not as bad as the US, to which I'm 
unlikely to ever travel to, but it is becoming a factor indeed.
