Can the UK stop me travelling?
No, the UK government cannot legally prevent its citizens from travelling to any country, even if it advises against it. Their role is to provide information and guidance to help Britons make informed decisions about their safety abroad. However, ignoring advice can have serious consequences, particularly for insurance and consular assistance.
