UK acts to keep out business travellers
If you want to visit the UK for a quick trip, it's easy: turn up at the airport, say you'll be in the country for a few days, tell them the truth: you're speaking at a confernce, attending a training course, holding meetings or checking samples. No problem, says the immigration man. Step right in.
Not any more he doesn't. If you've not got a briefcase full of papers to prove your story, you'll be going straight back on the return plane.
