Use of U.K. E gates but multiple nationalities is welcoming and welcome but it should have been restricted to those countries that reciprocated. The USA being a case in point. It is testament to the both the subservient nature of the special relationship and inadequacy of the home office.
I saw last night that before I can apply for global entry I must first get clearance from the U.K. at a cost of £42 before I can ever apply. Is that correct?

indeed and it’s impossible to avoid unlike here where the signs telling some nationalities to get a stamp are at the baggage belts. Not sure I’d bother!

Not in the least surprised by this
