This would be entirely at the discretion of the UK government whether or not they wished to do this. Banning someone from your country is an entirely unilateral decision regardless of special relationships. The UK police were purely following a request from the US.
If we banned a US citizen from the UK they would have a choice whether to object or not and take it up with their government. Given this UK citizen doesn't care and has shown no interesting in taking it up with our government that's about it.
Nothing to do with special relationships at all.
