I think the issue isn't so much the acts are international but that they're scouted, usually from other versions of the show. Many just seem to do the rounds now - one act this week has done at least five versions and already performed at the Royal Variety. I don't have the issue with "professionals" that some do but that feels like it crosses the line.
It's obvious why they cut back to just two audition venues a year but it now feels like talent is invited along rather than the show going across the country to find undiscovered talent.
