Just this country, eh? Then you're assuming incorrectly again.
Presenting passport checks as an inconvenience in the way you and others were and then expecting sympathy for it, backfired on you. When you presented the argument that "it's easy for so many people, therefore travelling is not a privilege" i'd say you're right, you DIDN'T think about others around the world.
I was thinking about others and those like myself, around the world, hence the statement. To me, travelling abroad for recreation definitely is a privilege people enjoy, and they are welcome to enjoy it, so long as they acknowledge that it is not something able to be enjoyed by everyone.
Problem with you is, you seem to regard the entire world and everyone's circumstances, to be like the UK. It isn't. Fuck, you even seem to expect everyone's cirumstances in the UK to be the same.
