no Marilyn, they require the sales figure to be a part of the package, it doesn't determine whether or not they get the visa they require ticket sale numbers to ensure the person is coming to work. Entertainers are supposed to always be issued a work visa when they perform. It's kinda backwards and puts the promoters in a bad spot that's why if an entertainer has a spotty record some promoters, if he's not popular, will not book him for fear they will sell tickets and visa is a no good

It's not contingent upon sales it's just a requirement so in this case his concert sold out which proved he was actually coming to perform a legit concert (they do it that way because ppl bill themselves as entertainers and get the visa (nuff jamaicans reach up yah dem way deh) and when they get in the country they &quot;run off&quot;

<span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Who does the UK want to keep out?</span></span>

Controversial right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been stopped from entering the UK on the grounds that he could be a threat to public order.

Labour peer Lord Ahmed has said his presence would pose a risk because his views about the Koran - he has called it a &quot;fascist book&quot; - generate so much anger among Muslims.

Aside from Mr Wilders, 270 people have been prevented from entering the UK since July 2005.

The reason? Their presence was &quot;not conducive to the public good&quot;.

In other words, in the eyes of the home secretary, who has the final say, they pose a threat to national security, public order or the safety of UK citizens.

Such a power does not come from any legislation, but from case law, and can be challenged through a judicial review, in which the person concerned must present evidence that they are not, in fact, a threat.

Those excluded in recent years include religious extremists, neo-Nazis, animal rights activists, rap artists and lifestyle gurus.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Praising 9/11</span>

In October 2008, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that a full list of those banned was to be published and shared with other countries.

Until it is, the general public has no way of knowing who they are unless they draw attention to their situation themselves.

It is known that about 80 of those barred have been so-called &quot;preachers of hate&quot;.

Among them is Lebanon-based cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, the former head of the now-disbanded group al-Muhajiroun, who gained notoriety for praising the 9/11 hijackers as the &quot;magnificent 19&quot;.

In 2005, the then home secretary Charles Clarke used his powers to revoke Mr Mohammed's right to remain as an asylum seeker and banned him from Britain altogether.

Other preachers to have raised the ire of the authorities include Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, from the US, and Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who lives in Qatar.

In February 2008, Muslim cleric Mr al-Qaradawi was refused a visa because the Home Office said the UK would not tolerate the presence of those who sought to justify acts of terrorist violence.

The Egyptian-born cleric was described at the time as &quot;dangerous and divisive&quot; by Conservative leader David Cameron.

A long-term ban against Louis Farrakhan had been in place for a number of years when he failed in 2002 to have it overturned by going through the courts.

The then home secretary David Blunkett said that a visit from the Nation of Islam leader, who has made anti-Semitic and racially controversial statements, would threaten public order.

But the exclusions have not just been directed at religious figures - in 2004, Mr Blunkett wrote to US animal rights activist Dr Jerry Vlasak to say he would not be allowed into the UK.

He was barred after reportedly saying that millions of animal lives could be saved if a handful of vivisectionists were killed.

Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg are also among those to have been denied entry to the UK from the US - for them, the justification was that they had convictions.

Snoop was previously cautioned on suspicion of violent disorder and affray, while Stewart was jailed in the US for lying to investigators about a share sale.

Another American rapper Busta Rhymes - real name Trevor George Smith Jr - was detained at London City Airport last September.

He was prevented from entering the UK due to &quot;unresolved convictions&quot; in the US, but a High Court judge then agreed he could stay in order not to disappoint fans who were expecting to see him in concert.

The UK Border Agency will not comment specifically on individuals, but it has said it opposes the entry of anyone convicted of &quot;serious criminal offences abroad&quot;.

Well, yes actually. I used to love Charlie Sheen, but would not pay to see a movie with him now.

Same with Al Green, I used to worship his music until the day I watched his ex-wife tell Oprah of his abuse. Still love the music but always remember that when I hear it.

Maybe having been through it myself makes me extra sensitive

Anyway, Britain's got enough wife-beaters, they don't need any more. Good for them for putting out the message that it is NOT ACCEPTABLE and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

Re: Chris Brown Denied Entry to UK

Chris Brown never sang a song that caught my attention. I might be lying because if memory serves, there was one a few years ago. That being said, I noticed on the movie &quot;This Christmas&quot; that he definitely has good singing voice and isn't bad looking either.

I don't take hitting and since it only happened one time with one person to even speak of, I'm serious with what I say. Enough is enough of anything. How much punishment should one person catch? I choose to never be in the same room with this person again, but I cannot tell you how much I do not care where he can travel.

Is the boy even 20 yet? To me it seems the folks who are so obsessed with him are 1. young or 2. either black eye givers or recipients or 3. angry in general. Likely it is 2.

Give it a break already and may we all get what we deserve for our actions.

Thank you! We all know that girl was passing licks whether we admit it or choose to play like we a 6 pack of stupid.

I'm just saying that while I don't condone domestic abuse, please take this thing down a thousand. If even half the people who hit somebody were condemned and prevented from working then it would be whole lot less people able to post in here.
