LONDON (AFP) US President Barack Obama's half brother was refused a visa to enter Britain because he had been accused of a serious crime on a previous visit, it was reported Saturday.
Samson Obama was stopped by immigration officials at East Midlands Airport in January on his way to Washington for the president's inauguration, the Sunday newspaper News of the World reported, according to advance excerpts.
Biometric tests alerted the authorities that Samson, a Kenyan mobile phone shop manager, had previously been arrested by police in Berkshire.
That arrest followed an alleged sex attack on a British girl two months earlier although he was never charged
A Home Office spokesman confirmed Samson was refused a visa after immigration officers noticed that one of the documents he supplied with his visa application was false which led them to make further inquiries.
A Border Agency spokesman said: "We consider all visa applications based on their merits.
"We will oppose the entry of individuals to the UK where we believe their presence is not conducive to the public good.
"The UK's border controls are among the toughest in the world. All visa applicants are fingerprinted and checked against watch lists.
"Using this hi-tech system we have detected more than 5,600 attempts to use false identities since December 2007.

No I believe you as I used to live in Quincy and weymouth and my wife is form Quincy
I rescued her and helped her to escape that place to get down south to north east FL
I am amazed at how little the media cover or lack of the news.
I remember some time ago when we moved another fleet nearer to Iran and there was no mention what soever , then the news comes on about Rosie and they said on a news channel I think it was channel 5 that she was forced out because of Elizabeth bullying her
I nearly dropped pout of my chair at the time
The biased crap what goes on there is truly sad and yes I have told people about how homosexuals etc are working to get laws changed and have their people in power
Many folks up there at the time would look at me like I am a conspiracy man.
When I have said things to my wife she said that you cannot blame the people there because they do not know because they do not get to find out off the news
Could you imagine if the media did their job up there and they reported on how obama is screwing catholic etc.
His numbers would go down.
My mother in law was down here not long ago and I told her about fat frank and the prositution ring etc
She never knew, after two months of being here she can’t stand obama now
why
because she found out the truth for once and now she regrets voting for them.
I kept reminding her the Dem party is not the JFK party as she knows it
ps
you are braver than me to stay and live up in MA
I would be in fights every day seeing as I have to say , alright to be honest I will open my mouth and never back down
thank you!
I don't understand. He has an Hawaiian birth certificate, or at least there's as much open documentation of Samson Obama having one as his idiot/lunatic/dangerous brother.
Yesterday I was thinking “I wonder what the late Friday afternoon news dump will be” since that is the traditional time for embarrassing news to break. In Britain they must use Saturday instead.
mobile phone shop manager...
Well, let’s not be too quick to cast aspersions, that does make him the man with the most solid business experience in the family. Maybe he can explain “capitalism” to Obama.
Perhaps they can run a DNA cross-check to see it Sampson was swapped with the sitting president back in the late-60s upon returning from Indonesia.
Nothing at this point would surprise me with national nightmare.
Oh.. a half a boy. Poor Horatio.
Did anybody else sing this song as a kid on the school bus circa 1979:
Marijuana, marijuana
LSD, LSD
Jimmy Carter makes it
Billy Carter takes it
Why can’t we
Why can’t we
In fairness to Jimmy, he would have at least bought Billy a “Crackhouse, Sweet Crackhouse” sign for his trailer park. Osama wouldn’t even buy his brother a “Hovel, Sweet Hovel” sign.
Another lives in a shack.
At least the Brits aren’t “star-struck” by Obama and his various relations any longer...
I still think (hope) that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has a certificate of Birth or a certificate of British ‘Subject-hood’ for Obama among her files on Obama at MI6... Better yet, if she has a copy in a safe at Buckingham, or a hollowed out tree at Sandringham somewhere! LOL
[I just hope Queen Elizabeth won’t sit on it too long if she has it... But then she’s been around for a while now... Petty dictators like Obama are probably old news to her. If I were the Queen, I may be talking to Sarkozy about this, and some of the Eastern European leaders as well right now... (Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia?). They are the most at risk from the advances on that front — at least at first.]
She recalled: "I asked him how he feels being the brother of the next president and he said, 'I can't tell you the depth of excitement we feel.'
"I asked what Barack was like as a teenager and he said he was always charismatic and calm."
The flight attendant said Samson claimed he had never travelled before and proudly showed her a headed letter from his half-brother requesting his three-week visa to the USA."
Think if we had an immigration system...we might have stopped baby Barack when he immigrated from Kenya.
Man, considering how many terrorists types the UK has let in, to reject Obama’s brother says a lot.
Proud family: US President Barack Obama greets members of his British and African-based family at the White House following his inauguration, including half-brother Abongo, far left, and stepmother Kezia, in yellow.
Be careful, seven. Disparage any Øbama's tool... and you may be tarred, feathered and branded a racist slut!
Like that awful... British tart that besmirched the Øbamanation's half-bro!
“By whom has he been wronged? Why the racist, colonialist white man, of course”
Yeah, while the little bigot racist craves his “Sony” crap.
The whole thing is back to front.
Not to forget the illegal I believe aunt that is already in the US
