Just occasionally we resist the cries of the pop pr machine and do the right thing.
US rappers Snoop Dogg and P Diddy have been forced to cancel a joint UK tour after Snoop Dogg was denied a visa.
The musicians were "incredibly disappointed and devastated"
Well, yes, they can see a few pound and dollar signs fading away there...
"I cannot control my past - me being an ex-gang member, ex-drug dealer - but I know how to do what's right, how to turn my life around."
Well, yes, everybody deserves a chance to "turn...(their)...life around"
But as the BBC article reminds us...
The 35-year-old musician is currently facing weapons and drugs charges in the US stemming from three separate arrests in 2006.
Earlier this month, he was held overnight by police in Sweden on suspicion of using drugs.
He was cautioned by UK police last year after being arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and affray at Heathrow Airport.
Perhaps getting your collar felt by the old bill five times in around a year made the authorities a tiny bit sceptical...
A google search discovered that this story had been picked up in the USA.
Here, the comment is made...
Now, if only the Brits could have similar guts in denying entry to the far more dangerous Islamists they constantly welcome to their shores . . .
Unfortunately, she may have a point...
