A wife beating bum with the conviction from the US would not get a Visa, I see no reason why Chris Brown should be allowed preferential treatment.

This sort of thing works both ways, the US have denied Oasis duo Visa's in the past, but I am not entirely sure if they allowed them in on appeal. Considering Chris Brown's concerts are postponed I think they are going for an appeal and if so he will probably be allowed in.

I think its a great decision. Like fenian said I too wish they would be stricter with everyone!

This is the thing though, Chris brown was due of kick of the UK leg of his tour in Glasgow tonight!

so Why did Tyson get in?

Tax collection speaks louder than law.

Tyson was allowed in because of the tax that was collectable off the fight. Just like why Chris Brown will be allowed in after the appeal. There is tax to collected off his concerts.

The likes of me and you are not as privileged as the rich and famous, we are but a nuisance to the government that needs to be stomped on. I think we are due another revolution!

Yeah chris brown will be let in after appeal, the famous people nearly always are, but this also applies to ordinary people too, if youre going to do a job that cant be covered they will normally let you in on appeal.

Normally they are more strict about drug convictions than violent attacks upon people :-/
