The U.K. trying to ban Snoop again
Posted by Media Outrage on May 2, 2008
The U.K. is trying to ban Snoop again from entering their country. SMH.
Via SOHH:
The British government has filed a second appeal to stop the international superstar rapper Snoop Dogg from entering the country.
According to BBC News, the UK Border Agency plans to overturn the decision made during a January immigration hearing which gave Snoop Dogg clearance to enter the country. The trial stems from an April 2006 altercation at Heathrow Airport, that allegedly involved the rapper.
Snoop was initially denied a visa in March 2006 while on tour. In January, an immigration judge said he found no evidence that the Long Beach rapper was responsiblefor any public disorder and the Doggfather was given clearance to enter the UK.
The UK Border Agency says the immigration judge made a “material error in law” during the first hearing.
“We maintain that the immigration judge in the initial hearing made a material error in law,” a UK Border Agency spokesperson said. “There has been no change in the facts that led to Mr. Broadus being denied a visa. We stand by that initial decision.”
“We will continue to oppose the entry to the UK of individuals where we believe there may be a risk to the public.”
In related news, Snoop was refused entry into Australia last September for failing a character test. He was unable to co-host the MTV Australian Video Music Awards.
Mediaoutrage- What’s up with the U.K. banning folk? Especially Snoop when he was the one that was a victim of police harassment under the universal ordinance code BBB (Being Born Black). So he receives an LAPD style ass whoopin and then he’s banned??? What do you think about this?

First off I said he was a nigga for wearing a hoody on a hot stage..thats what niggas do! All this self- righteousness of our history would let you know the difference between niggas and afro-american. You obviously are one. Self hatred?!? You wake up just to diss Beyonce!!! Now if you dont know the difference between a afro american and a nigga, look in the mirror each day and know by the comment you just made, you are not afro-american sweetheart!

How do you fail a character test??? Who designs these test?? Lawd I’m lost. The British are worse in some cases than the white folk over here in the states. They don’t care for black for at all, so it doesn’t surprise me that Snoop would not be granted clearance to enter the country. I have had the pleasure (if you can call it that) to work with someone who was from the UK and believe me their thoughts on black folk aren’t very good.
DT, “the hot ass thermal shirt on a 110 degree stage” is classic.
