I call shanninigans. The British government has absolutely nothing to gain and lots to lose by making it more difficult for tourists and businessmen to come to the UK, and they have no history of ever having made it more difficult for the citizens of a country to aquire a visa just because relations with that country deteriorated, even when the falling-out was a lot worse than the one we're talking about here. That they would be able do it secretly is just laughable.
Don't believe everything you hear on the TV
