Winning outcome = "No"

No news that visa has been granted... there is news that Martha is "hopeful it will be worked out soon, and news that some in the UK think it's foolish to deny her a visa.

I'm no fan of Martha, but is it really a crime to lie?! She wasn't even under oath!

Now, if she were a muslim terrorist that hijacked planes, they would let her right in, no problem.

John Lennon had a drug conviction and the U.S. let him become a permanent resident. Of course it got him shot, but we (the U.S.) waived his conviction so why can't the U.K. waive Martha's?

Personally I find satisfaction in watching her have problems. If it causes any of the elite to think twice when considering themselves above the law, I'm all for it.

NotableNotices provides an interesting link in comment 2. Although it appears to be a dead link it is not. For some reason the end of it did not get included in the hyper-link.

Simply copy and paste if interested in reading it.

Hey Mork, can you clarify what you mean by "resolve". I'm guessing you mean she's allowed into the UK, but I can imagine some other intertpretation. The reason notablenotices URL was truncated was the single-quote.

@AAA - If she gains the ability to travel to the UK legally, her problem will be resolved.
