EU and Canada warning about travel to the US

I wonder if the UK is doing the same, or still in 'special relationship' mode 🤷‍♂️

Junkies have a special a 'special relationship' with their dealer's in the same way we do with the US.

rosame.bsky.social•2 days ago

The UK has recently updated its US travel advisory for British travellers bound for America with stricter wording: While in February, it stated, “the authorities in the US set and enforce entry rules,” the language was changed in March to say those rules are enforced “strictly.”

americanbahhb.bsky.social•1 day ago

The government in the UK is TRYING to say they have one, but people in the UK are already effectively boycotting the US except oligarchic fascists like Farage and Liz Truss.

Special relationship delusion more like.

panuzis.bsky.social•2 days ago

🤔 .... you kiss my ass and I'll kiss yours, type of special relationship hmm

minesahalf.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wording a bit wrong and should be more like:
You kiss mine and I´ll kick yours.

chrismac55.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuck the special relationship. No way I'm travelling to the US while they have that hypocritical criminal rapist of a president in power. Fuck that!

sizzlinsnake.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm wondering if the UK thinks that because they essentially birthed this thing, that they somehow have a bond to it. Like no, we just full roundhouse became y'all but worse. (No offense modern day UK, this is about the monarchy the colonists left).

jons27.bsky.social•2 days ago

Special relationship 🤣🤣🤣🤣

chrisfromleeds.bsky.social•2 days ago

It took 10 seconds to find the answer which is yes we have...

agendaforreform.bsky.social•2 days ago

Our relationship with the US is now in special measures

edgreatrex.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think it was on a PoliticsJoe podcast a while ago where one of the team likened the special relationship to that of a girlfriend in an abusive relationship. I quite liked that analogy.

rachlove.bsky.social•2 days ago

We are in ‘desperate for a US trade deal to avoid rowing back Brexit and upsetting Reform’ mode unfortunately

guym.bsky.social•2 days ago

No. UK had had a travel warning in place for weeks. Imagining something because it fits your political position doesn’t mean it’s true.

rachlove.bsky.social•2 days ago

I didn’t deny there was one in place as I am aware and have spoken about it and my decision to not travel to America while Maga are in charge, its more the ‘special relationship’ mode I was making a comment about

guym.bsky.social•2 days ago

The “special relationship” mode is certainly a fantasy. He’s a transactional person.

gerryguk7.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, the daily mail comment page must be paid its tribute, come what may. The labour party leadership sickens me.

stefek.bsky.social•2 days ago

That does appear to be the way Labour are heading. I have no idea why, they'll never get the Reform vote & they're losing the centre ground vote with every passing minute. I didn't have much expectations of Labour, other than they weren't the Tories, but incredibly they've still disappointed.

rachlove.bsky.social•2 days ago

Me neither but they could be the Tories in almost every way. From attacking disabled, pensioners etc. Very disappointing. Labour should let Tories and Reform chase those votes and concentrate on the vast majority of other people

stefek.bsky.social•2 days ago

That's why I'm disappointed in them. All they had to be is not the Tories but, unfortunately, they're a lot better organised than the Tories and carrying out the major Tory policies. I didn't vote for them this time, I voted Green, but I have voted for them before but never again.

rachlove.bsky.social•2 days ago

I didn’t vote Labour too and I had hoped they would at least stand up for whats right, while taxing the billionaires and big companies more. Now I know who has influence over them!

gavintc.bsky.social•2 days ago

I completely agree. Targeting reform is missing the point. I hated Tory and despise reform. Labour is heading in the wrong direction.

thelittlesaint.bsky.social•2 days ago

That would resulted in the hung parliament we absolutely needed, it would’ve given everybody a bit more of what they wanted, as well as what the country needed. 👍🏼

thelittlesaint.bsky.social•2 days ago

With respect Steve, that was the mistake. Using labour to just “get the tories out” was a massive error in judgement, we had yrs to prepare for it & the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 electorate prove themselves to be incredibly inept, sadly.

If we wanted to send a message, we had to use the LD & really send the message. ✌🏼

stefek.bsky.social•2 days ago

You've made some assumptions there not based on what I wrote.

I said it was my expectations of Labour, who were clearly going to win after the Tories destroyed our country, but I didn't vote Labour.

thelittlesaint.bsky.social•2 days ago

I tried to cover my base by saying the “English electorate”. ✌🏼

shane11.bsky.social•1 day ago

This isn’t the way Labour are heading

charlieparish.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think they're still deluding themselves.

rossfootball.bsky.social•2 days ago

Surprised you don't know the answer to your question. Or maybe it doesn't suit? https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/britain-beefs-up-travel-warnings-over-us-border-enforcement-2025-03-20/

U.K. government has their heads in the sand. Bunch of ostriches, about as useful to working government as a bunch of ostriches.

cheeseplantlarry.bsky.social•2 days ago

I read the other day thar the US is on a travel advisory list

cheeseplantlarry.bsky.social•2 days ago

*that

sarahdeere-jones.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thousands of us have cancelled trips anyway, including myself...😮‍💨

bluesprints.bsky.social•1 day ago

UK Foreign Office advice doesn't give any warnings or cautions. Their last update was 14th March.

gec236.bsky.social•2 days ago

Only Jason Bourne can survive this shit 😫

gythogg.bsky.social•2 days ago

And I’d be worried about him as he arrived without papers and a memory! 😳

gec236.bsky.social•2 days ago

😄 well yeh there is that but look at all those passports and burner phones .. and he did survive three series

jw-here.bsky.social•1 day ago

whatever the govt advice, any brit citizen with a bluesky account should probably avoid the US

yosemitesocs.bsky.social•2 days ago

The only thing "special" about our relationship is how brown Starmer's nose is getting.

notlob66.bsky.social•1 day ago

Have bookings to Disney Word fallen off?

guym.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is pathetic. It’s been all over the media for ages. Doesn’t suit your narrative, eh?

social-hell.uk•2 days ago

Labour says, "take lube."

ajlowton.bsky.social•2 days ago

The FO travel advice has been warning about the risk of detention if your docs aren’t in order for weeks

americanbahhb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Even that doesn't matter if you've ever said anything about protecting minorities or being upset about any American policy in your emails or social media regardless of your docs.

I'm American and I am never going back.

flyme2damoon.bsky.social•2 days ago

janebella.bsky.social•2 days ago

Our government does not need to warn us. There is plenty of information on which we can base our own judgement

sueryan66bskysocia.bsky.social•2 days ago

We have been warning for weeks now.

finl3y.bsky.social•2 days ago

Judging by this I expect we’re about to sell a bunch of stuff down the river… NHS, trans people…

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/15/jd-vance-says-us-hopeful-of-great-trade-deal-with-uk

gythogg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well then your judgement is a bit off if you don’t mind me saying. ‘Hopeful’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, as is a belief in the word of a dip sh&t like Vance. If we’re planning this, a US deal is precluded https://bsky.app/profile/profjacob.bsky.social/post/3lmtlkmd6s22t

finl3y.bsky.social•2 days ago

Who bloody knows honestly

gythogg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly, which is why I take every over-dramatic, clickbait generating headline with a massive dose of salt, & try to be better informed than that, & keep the faith with the party I voted for to change the direction the Tories were taking us (over a cliff if you weren’t a billionaire donor).

m4oot.bsky.social•2 days ago

UK is so far up The Donald’s Fekkin Orange Arsehole it’s unable to see daylight.

lenday.bsky.social•2 days ago

Amerikkka is not safe. Even if you are blonde haired and blue eyed.

fleasondogs.bsky.social•2 days ago

At what point is Starmer going to stop and ask if we actually want to sign a trade agreement with a country with a growing record of human rights violations.

brendanl2011.bsky.social•2 days ago

The EU Commission is advising its officials to use burner phones and is supplying basic laptops for any travel to the USA. I understand EU companies are giving similar advice to business travelers.
The UK govt should provide the same advice

lizlindsay.bsky.social•2 days ago

It occurred to me after reading the posts here on Bluesky that the UK should issue warnings about travel to the USA. It is risky.

winter02.bsky.social•2 days ago

Already happened.

gythogg.bsky.social•2 days ago

And, tbh anyone who is paying attention you would hope would be intelligent enough to work this out for themselves. 🤷🏼‍♀️

winter02.bsky.social•2 days ago

I know! Some people just like to moan and others tell lies for a reason.

strettonbluenose.bsky.social•2 days ago

Make America Great Again is crystal clear. There is no mention of anywhere else, including the UK.

Farage's ghosting and humiliation should leave you in no doubt.

Whether you believe in global Britain or closer ties with the EU, apeasment is not the answer. Starmer needs to grow some balls.

We had warnings about travelling to the US weeks ago

If there's any doubt that me or my family would want to visit the USA under a Trump administration I'd like to clarify this a little further

obbitz.bsky.social•2 days ago

If visitors to world organisations based in the USA are having advisories on how not to get disappeared, then perhaps these organisations should look to move elsewhere.
