Bill pleaded guilty and lost his law license...

Yes,he did lose his law license for a period of time but what I can find suggests that the loss of his license was the result of a purely "administrative" process by the Arkansas Bar and had nothing to do with any guilty pleas or guilty verdicts.

This is from Wikipedia (admittedly,a less than completely unbiased source of info)

In a separate case, Clinton was ordered to pay $25,000 in fines to Arkansas state's bar officials and his Arkansas law license was suspended for five years. [73] The agreement came on the condition that Whitewater prosecutors would not pursue federal perjury charges against him.[74] Clinton was suspended by the Supreme Court in October 2001, and, facing disbarment from that court, Clinton resigned from the Supreme Court bar in November.[75]

In the same week, Martha Stewart has been refused entry into the U.K. and they're release one of bin Laden's top men.

Compared to the countless pumper-and-dumpers that scammed billions from the public and never went to jail during the .com fleece all Martha did was park in a no-parking zone. Hell, the UK should not let in just about every member of Congress if they have a problem with liars and thieves.

Meet the "friends of Angelo."

She has a record beyond the trading fiasco. Her husband had a restraining order on her that he kept renewing. And she she purposefully drove over her neighbor’s gardener because she didn’t like what he did to their border. She’s okay if she gets her way, otherwise be warned.

I’m somewhat confused. I’ve visited England numerous times and never needed a visa. I guess she sought an advisory opinion instead of just getting off the plane and walking through the line.

I've been going there every year for the past few years and haven't needed a visa. They do tend to ask a few questions at Immigration, though. More than what I get in most countries.

No complaints, though.

On the Heathrow/Kuwait Express? Instant culture shock, I'll bet.

Usually what I get is, "how long will you be staying?", then some polite equivalent of "see-ya".

England is straining at gnats and swallowing camels.

Scary.

Yet England keeps importing Muslims. Muslimization of the US continues. Bush supports Clinton's views on Kosovo.

On Martha Stewart.

The only information I had was that she simply covered up on insider information. I was a little surprised to read about her driving.

I remember the late Johnny Stompanato, being kicked out of England, when the authorities heard he abused and hit Lana Turner. She was making a film there. This I absolutely agreed with, but felt there was something else. Johnny "Stompo" did not take a lesson from this, as we all know. (chuckle).

A cook, designer and publisher, Ms Stewart was once called "the definitive American woman of our time" and once collaborated with Wedgwood on a range of crockery.

Don't forget stockbroker. She knew exactly what she was doing when she had her e-mail files deleted.

Most insider traders end up in jail for 10-20 years.

I agree with you mate. Funny thing is that its so discrecionary, blocking Martha Stewart but letting in blokes like Tyson...

Im not arguing about a little leeway given to certain people, but the UK should say this, and make it clear its not a blanket ban to one and all with a record, cos its not!
