Jabou,
I totally agree with you, because they say MONEY TALKS. Just like you, I too
want to believe that at the end of the day, Tyson would be allowed entry.
In fact, as I write this piece, there is intense lobbying going on here to
let him into the country when he arrives at the airport on Sunday. I
understand, or it is reported, that Prime Minister Tony Blair himself has
now been drawn into the matter.
Interestingly, just a few minutes ago, one solicitor was saying on the radio
that boxing promoter Don King never encounters immigration problems entering
the UK, even though he, Don King, was once convicted of a murder crime in
the US, a very long time ago.
