Like Snoop Dogg, ex-con Stewart won’t be having tea with the Queen anytime soon

LONDON, UK (Hollywood Today) 6/21/08 - - “We continue to oppose the entry to the UK of individuals where we believe their presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good or where they have been found guilty of serious criminal offenses abroad,” said a representative of the British Border Agency.


Martha Stewart (66) and her broker Peter Bacanovic (46) were convicted in US Federal Court for obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and making false statements (lying) with regard to her sale of ImClone stock in 2004. Neither Stewart nor Bacanovic were convicted with the actual sale of Stewart’s ImClone stock.


Stewart received a five-month prison sentence and served for an additional five months and three weeks of mansion confinement on her estate…oh it sucks to be rich.

Yes you Brits should protect yourselves from evil doers like Martha. Now you can all sleep safely knowing your government is doing it's job.

According to CNN.com---
Stewart was scheduled to meet at the Royal Academy with several figures in the fashion and leisure industry, the Telegraph reported. The newspaper attributed the rejection of her visa to a blanket policy banning people with criminal convictions.


If their policy is to deny visas to felons I don't think they should make an exception for Martha Stewart. Basically, she should be treated like the others.

this is just a tit for tat 'cause the US would not let in Sebastian Horsley a few weeks ago....

They rejected her visa, but she was scheduled to meet with them? That's kinda... weird. Yeah, I agree she shouldn't get any special treatment... but why schedule?
