BBC News – UK passport holders will need visas to enter US. Whatever happened to being granted passage without let or hindrance?

Aside: isn’t English a strange language? The verb to let can mean either "to allow" or "to hinder".

    Not only requests but requires that we pass freely!

    I notice the “special relationship” doesn’t extend in our favour yet again.
