A travel blogger has vowed she wll “never come back” to the UK after airport security forced her to throw away £236 ($300) worth of toiletries.

The 29-year-old was forced to get rid of half of her toiletries because they would not fit in the standard plastic bag.

00:00 I always tell people not to fly through the UK and this is why.
00:02 So I just got basically my hat to via bike half my toiletries because the London rules suck.
00:09 And I lost those sunglasses.
00:11 And I was taking a video of it and then I got in trouble for doing that.
00:14 And...
00:15 Is it earth-threatening national security?
00:17 So...
00:18 Welcome to the UK.
00:19 Now we're coming back there.
00:20 You can't blame me, anybody but myself.
00:22 But this 100% does suck.
00:23 I mean, look at all these toiletries that I had to throw away.
00:25 Basically the point of this video is just to make sure that people realize that the rules in the UK and transferring to the UK are absolutely way more brutal than any other country.
00:34 You get one bag and that is it.
00:36 You are only allowed one small plastic bag full of toiletries and they make you take everything out and they check all of your stuff if you have over that.
00:42 Don't be like me because now I'm sitting here and I'm super annoyed and sad because I lost my sunglasses during the chaos of all of it.
00:48 But it's literally my fault because I knew this all before I came here.
00:51 And now all I can do is sit in the lounge and eat this cheese and a cookie.
00:54 And just eat my feelings and feel sorry for myself because I lost all of my stuff but it was only me to blame.
00:59 It's a really good cookie though.
